It’s November, which means Disney is transitioning from their Halloween activities to the Christmas activities! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starts on November 8th, while other Christmas events and decorations will come closer to Thanksgiving. Epcot Food and Wine Festival is going later than ever this year, running through November 23rd. I’m ready to get […]
Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast review
I’ve eaten dinner at the Grand Floridian Cafe before, but this was the first time I got to experience breakfast. Located in the Grand Floridian resort, this is an easy trip from Magic Kingdom. In our case we started our day with breakfast here before hopping on the monorail to go to the parks. The […]
Has the bus transportation at Disney resorts gone downhill?
During my most recent stay at Disney World I was at Coronado Springs. I have now stayed at Disney about 30 times, and I have never in memory had such poor bus service as I did on this trip. I don’t know if this is a fluke or not, but I do think it’s worth […]
Paradise Pier review
Disneyland has three official hotels: Paradise Pier, the Disneyland hotel, and the Grand Californian. The thing that makes Disneyland a little different from Disney World is how close everything is – you can walk from all three of those hotels to the parks, but there are also “Good Neighbor” hotels which are walking distance as […]

Coronado Springs review
For my trip in February that was over the Princess race weekends, I was leaning towards staying at a moderate resort. I knew that I wanted a little more space and comfort than the values (having a bigger, comfier bed and a hot tub were important when I was running so much!), but I didn’t […]
5 reasons NOT to stay at a Disney value resort
For many Disney visitors, a value resort may be a great option. They are the most affordable option on property, they have fun, kid-friendly themeing, and they give you the basic no-frills necessities for a hotel stay. I have a special place in my heart for the values because they make staying at Disney […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up: February 2019
It’s February, and for the past 5 years for me that’s meant it’s Disney month! This will be my 6th year attending Princess race weekend, 6th year running the Enchanted 10k, and 5th year in a row running the half marathon/challenge. Disney just keeps drawing me back with their magic, and I can’t wait to […]
The Process of buying DVC resale
As you may or may not know (if you follow me on instagram you probably saw!) my husband and I have recently become DVC owners! After a lot of research and saving we finally purchased a resale contract at Animal Kingdom Lodge for 180 points. We knew we wanted to buy DVC for a long […]
