(updated 12/5/24 – a look at the Disney resorts at Christmas time): If you get the chance to visit a Disney resort during the months of November and December, there’s plenty to do for the holidays – Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party, Christmas stories from around the World at Epcot, and (new this year) Jingle […]
Disney news, rumors, and round-up: August 2016
Phew – last month was full of news! And while we’ve still got some exciting things happening this month, it’s not quite as overwhelming. I also leave for Disney tomorrow myself! It’s my first time actually going in the middle of summer, so I’ll get to experience the crowds and the heat. I’m not exactly […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – July 2016
It seems like there has been a ton of news and rumors recently – both good and bad. June was an up and down month at Disney, but hopefully we’ll see good from here on out! Lots of fun stuff happening if you’re headed there any time soon. I’ll be there myself in early August […]

Best Breakfasts at Walt Disney World
Breakfast can be a great time to enjoy some of the wonderful food that Disney has to offer. Many breakfasts are character meals, in which Disney characters come around to your table while you dine, but there are plenty without characters as well.

Shrimp and Penne Pasta recipe from the Grand Floridian Cafe
When I went to Disney for the Tower of Terror 10 miler, I had dinner before the race at the Grand Floridian Cafe. Because I love a good pasta dish (before running and otherwise!) I ordered the one pasta meal they had there. It was amazing! I wanted to try and recreate it at home. […]
DVC Villas at the Grand Floridian
On my last trip to Disney in October, I was lucky enough to stay in the newest DVC units at the Grand Floridian (newest until the ones at the Poly opens, anyway!). These are housed in a separate building from the main Grand building, just a short walk away. When you enter the building you are […]
Thoughts on Cinderella
Highlights: I like this move because it makes me happy. There is some action and some suspense (will she get locked up in her room after the ball or will the mice be able to free her?). But ultimately it’s all about the cheesy romance, and good overcoming evil. People now may complain that Cinderella is a […]
Wordless Wednesday: Disney in the Details
One of the things that truly makes Disney World so special is their amazing attention to details. There are so many great things in the parks, but today I’m going to share just a few with you: Splash Mountain is one of my favorite rides in WDW because there are so many little details on […]

We also expect to see the opening of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. And even if you won’t be in the theme parks, there’s still some Disney to […]
