Maybe you can tell (or maybe you can’t 😬), but I’ve been really trying to improve the quality of the blog posts around here lately. That includes boosting search optimization; I watch over Google Search Console with great interest. Sure, I think my words are worth the read (I certainly generate enough of them), yet the verdict remains with...

Hello runDisney friends! I know, I know, I famously did not run the 2024 Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Luckily, someone simultaneously much cooler AND hotter than me did. Enter my cousin-in-law (that’s a real term; I checked) Kate, the only member of my family who loves Disney parks as much as I do. She recently came over to...
Continue readingMy Thoughts While Watching: Walt Disney World’s 15th Birthday Celebration, 1986
Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts While Watching series, where we dig up very-to-kinda old Disney media and react to it in real time. Culture then, meet culture now. FIGHT! (Kidding, kidding. Mostly. 😜) This week we’re going back to what I once called the ugliest decade, and I stand by it: the ’80s! Not that nothing positive...

I’ve never been a candle girlie as such. I like a nice smell as much as the next person! Yet I don’t collect or anything. Still, candles have become a necessity since I moved to Puerto Rico. Power outages are a semi-frequent thing here, and while most aren’t too long, it’s good to keep some candles handy for your...

It’s festival time in Epcot once more! Although I won’t personally be attending this year’s Food & Wine Festival (pour one out – literally), I always enjoy reading through festival food booth reviews as they trickle in. You know, just to make sure the Greeks are still griddling cheese, Bunsen and Beaker are still slinging pickle milkshakes, and the...
Continue readingEpcot After 4: Hey, Disney, You’re Leaving Money On The Table
You have two options when deciding which Walt Disney World park ticket to buy. You can get a date-specific ticket that provides access to the parks for a specific number of days at a specific time, or you can buy an Annual Pass. I mean, yes, there are various add-ons and tiers you can play with to customize your...
Continue readingHere’s The runDisney Registration Queue Scoop From An Insider
You read that right – I spoke to someone who works for the company that programs the runDisney registration queue software! Not just runDisney, either; in this conversation, Oogie Boogie Bash tickets came up too. I’m going to keep it vague for safety. Nothing about our chat suggested that the info I received was in any way secret, but...
