Hot damn, you guys. Can we take a second to talk about how near impossible it’s gotten to book a room in a Walt Disney World hotel room in a reasonable time frame? I’ve talked about some of my odd room reservation experiences before, and I’ve learned a lot from them. Primarily, I’ve learned to book a room the SECOND you so much...

I’m sure I’m not the only one who keeps a small shrine to Disney parks in their cubicle. Some of the more enterprising of you may have beautifully framed photographs and artfully fanned park maps. Me, I more or less slapped some schmatta on the wall with push pins and called it done. Okay, so it’s not the most...

And now we honor Disney’s Animal Kingdom in its 20th birthday week. Dear DAK, I mean every single word of this. It can be hard for a Walt Disney World enthusiast to pin down a favorite thing. The categories are so broad that narrowing down even a top three can seem daunting. The hardest question of all may be...

In the spirit of all those buying up half-price Easter candy, let’s talk about Goofy’s Gummy Worms at his Candy Company. Last time I was at Walt Disney World, wandering around Disney Springs post-marathon killing time before my flight, Pat and I had the following text exchange: ME: Do you want me to pick up any sour gummy worms? PAT: TWO...

The reviews I’ve read have been pretty good, but the restaurant never seems to find favor with guests. Nevertheless, when I was selecting a Candlelight Processional dining package, I gravitated to it immediately. I knew it had just...

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. I have had Epcot’s Behind the Seeds tour on my to-do list for literally years.

It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. Remember when Sanaa was a hidden gem and you could waltz right in? Those were the days. Now word has gotten out about how awesome this restaurant in Kidani Village is, and an ADR is a must. Since my mom raved about our visit there in 2013,...

See, I let my Annual Pass lapse because I knew I wouldn’t be taking enough trips in the allotted time frame. No doubt I’ll get another – after all, I think we can all agree...

Mini trip report! Read all the posts in this report here. We pick this day up right after finishing the race. Having finished much faster than expected, I indulged myself in a trip to the official race merch tent. After all, I couldn’t very well not have a souvenir from my all time best marathon, could I? Indeed not. I did a...
