Remember how last year I was so distraught about missing the Epcot Food & Wine Festival I made a to-eat list even though I wouldn’t be there? Some of my saner work, I must say. Well, this year no one needs to worry about my mental state: I am, as is right and proper, going to be at the...

Since I spent most of this WDW trip in a conference, I won’t be doing a traditional trip report, but I definitely still have a lot of stuff to tell you about that will be loosely collected under the July 2018 trip keyword. Read on! I don’t usually put post-WDW trip haul posts – not because I don’t think...

HELLO! I have been hella busy at this magnificent conference IN THE FRIGGIN’ SWOLPHIN all week, and I scarcely even have time to write this post – hence the weird time and what, as you will see, will be a very truncated version. Rest assured I am doing it all in the name of amazing WDW exploration and will...

Hey hey hey! Here’s a fun fact: as of yesterday, this blog is 5 years old! FIVE! And to celebrate, I’m off to the beach with Pat’s family. PEACE. Oh, but – as soon as I get back from the beach, I’m immediately heading to the airport for that convention in Orlando. That’s right; I’ll be coming at...

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, say! Jenn hasn’t mentioned anything about what Disney background music she’s been listening to lately. It’s cool. I saw you coming.

Or I’ll ruin your whole vacation. Either/or. So on my last trip to WDW with my mom, I left plans for the final day completely blank, the idea...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Is Venturing Beyond The Parks
Not to make you jealous or anything, but I have three Walt Disney World trips on the docket within the next seven months. No, honest, I’m not trying to make you jealous! ‘Cause, listen: I don’t plan to spend much time in the parks. Which is sort of silly – isn’t this exactly the sort of thing Annual Pass dreams...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Goes DVC…ish
Like I said a couple weeks ago: it’s gotten hard to book a room at Disney, let alone find one at a discount rate. This was making me antsy for marathon weekend.
