I am a huge fan of the guided, behind the scenes tours offered at Walt Disney World, and I am an even bigger fan of the Christmas season.  When my college freshman son and I had the opportunity to take a trip to Walt Disney World just before Christmas I knew one of the holiday seasonal tours would be on ...

Pre-trip we spend a lot more time planning (or obsessing) about the table service restaurants we plan to enjoy on vacation, mostly because their popularity requires that we make reservations 6 months or so in advance.  The quick service eateries don’t get quite as much attention but are still an important part of the planning process because Disney has a ...

On Wednesday, December 13, I was privileged to attend a sneak peek of three new eateries that are coming to Disney Springs. There has been a lot of buzz about The Edison, but the places connected to it are just as exciting. There is a backstory to the complex. According to the story, the space was originally an air terminal. ...

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to two of the most whimsical restaurants at Walt Disney World. One is 50’s Prime Time Cafe, and the other is Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. There are a couple of similar themes between the two eateries. Both are supposed to take you back in time to the 1950’s. They also both have an entertainment theme. ...

On Friday, November 17, 2017, my adult daughter and I attended Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, as the sun went down the air turned cool but not cold, and there was no humidity and no chance of rain. It was the perfect evening for the party. If you’re attending either of Mickey’s Parties, ...

On Thursday, November 2, 2017, my adult daughter and I were privileged to be part of a media dinner that was held at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Disney Springs. I will admit that it is a restaurant that I’ve avoided in the past. We’re both vegetarian and my daughter is allergic to dairy, and looking over the ...

As a mom of three boys it is a rare occurrence when I get to indulge my glitter loving, pink hued, bow wearing Princess side. Don’t get me wrong, they have been good sports and I have experienced most of the Princess Meal experiences at Walt Disney World once. When the Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno was announced ...

Walt Disney World is most famous for its parks and there is no doubt that they are the best in the world. Disney Parks embody what dreams are made of, the certain type of magic that you can only experience there. While they are indeed amazing there is so much more to do on property that is often overlooked, especially ...

Sarah Chapman When we heard the announcement of the Summer Concert at Disney’s Hollywood Studios featuring live orchestra playing favorite songs from Pixar’s film library we knew it was a must-see for our family.  With two brass musicians and all of us big fans of Pixar movies how could we miss this limited time opportunity?  We literally drove through lakes ...

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is one of Walt Disney World’s 3 original deluxe resorts. It has been a favorite of mine since I was 4 years old and now, 30 years later it is my kids’ favorite resort as well. The atmosphere there really transports you out of the hustle and bustle of the Disney parks and into a tropical ...
