Pop Century has long been my go-to value resort. While I prefer the theme and appearance of Art of Animation the price of the family suites and the lack of discounts for the standard Little Mermaid rooms often don’t make it the best choice for smaller families. The distance of the All Star resorts from the parks, the frequent groups ...

Fish and chips is a delicious meal option no matter where you are. However, when you’re in Disney World it just seems to be even better. For this reason, a visit to Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase is a no-brainer. This teeny tiny little kiosk may seem insignificant, but trust us when we ...

When planning my vacations to Walt Disney World I don’t normally make many breakfast reservations.  I don’t like to feel too rushed in the mornings, and I always try to make “rope drop” arriving before park opening to maximize my touring time.  But, I also like to have days that I take a break from the parks and enjoy all ...

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 ...
