5.29.20 All care and attention will be given to monitoring and providing accurate information to our guests regarding the reservation changes at Walt Disney World.  This is a fluid situation.  It is our best guess that the introduction of the new reservation system will be crucial to planning your Disney World Vacation Experience.  We are unable to fully advice our guests until that system is unveiled to us.  We urge you to remain calm and...

Welcome to the new family train vacation – one which includes grandparents, their adult children, their grandkids, and even extended family like cousins, nieces and nephews. Multigenerational travel maintains its stronghold as the hottest travel trend for 2020, as seniors and baby boomers are more healthy and active than ever, and looking to spend time with their loved ones and give back with the gift of travel. And nothing fits the bill...

Maggie gives us an overview of breakfast at Enchanted Garden on the Disney Cruise Line.

Maggie Ballantyne 5.26.20 I always like to sprinkle my own personal travel itineraries with a few new experiences on each trip to Walt Disney World. It is one reason I love to go back: no two trips are ever the same. In November 2019, my mom and I decided to try the Ferrytale Sparkling Dessert Cruise for a special Happily Ever After viewing. This simple reservation blew our expectations out of the water. I will admit, I did not do as much...

Erin Buchanan 5.24.20 It’s Tough to be a Bug is located at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park in Discovery Island. If you follow the winding trail around the massive base of the Tree of Life you will eventually make your way to the entrance of the Tree of Life Repertory Theatre, home of the “It’s Tough to be a Bug” show! This attraction is a 3D movie and multimedia show hosted by Flik and Hopper from the Disney-Pixar film A Bug’s...

Topolino’s Terrace, located on Disney property at Riviera Resort, is a great dining location that recently just made a grand entrance. Serving breakfast a’ la Art are character’s Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, and Donald. These friends are all there ready to dance, interact and have fun during breakfast hours.

Leandra Hernandez 5.19.20 Restaurantosaurus, an old favorite of mine, has just got better! On my last family trip to Disney World’s Animal Kingdom I learned about a new dining experience at a place I already loved. You can now make reservations for dinner at Restaurantosaurus for the new Burgers and Sundaes and if you are on the dining plan it only takes a quick service credit! This a great use of a quick service credit as the cash price is...

When I was a kid, I was on a very much super normal cycle whenever I would watch a movie. It went sorta like: Watch a new movie (1-2 hours) Use time/energy/imagination/inanimate objects from around my home to pretend I am in the world of the movie (3-7 months) Repeat So, yeah, Universal Orlando Resort and the world-building, immersive-experience-creating, woah-inducing expertise they bring to attractions was and will forever be a...

April Kemper 5.17.20 Did you know that the Disney Cruise Line is ranked as the number one best cruise for families and number one best cruise line in the Caribbean for 2020? This is according to U.S. News and World Report. I understand why too. I have been on 2 Disney cruises and they were both amazing. The quality that Disney offers absolutely blows me away. While they might be a little bit more expensive than some other cruise lines, you have...

Audrey Willis 5.14.20 My family loves Star Wars! My oldest experienced Jedi Training years ago, but my 7 year old had not until our last trip, due to scheduling conflicts. He and I headed to the parks before the rest of our group, as we knew we needed to be at the park at or before opening. We went through the turnstiles right at opening and quickly walked to the sign-up area, at the time we went it was just past 50’s Prime Time restaurant,...
