I recently wrote about my knee and back troubles with arthritis and going to Physical Therapy so I can walk a normal distance again without collapsing in pain. I realized today that I need to think of this as I am in training for Disney World. On the days I am not wanting to go…

Planning a Trip to Disney World Without Children!
Trying to get back to my Saturday Disney blogging. I miss it so much and after talking about Disney last night with someone planning a trip over Spring Break I decided I needed to revive my Disney Saturdays! It has been slightly more than 16 years that I have planned an adults only trip to…
Hollywood & Vine Character Breakfast
First of all let me set the record straight. Yes, we are Disney fans but we are not a breakfast family. Brunch sure, love it. But, breakfast means we have to get up and actually leave the hotel room early (or as in before 9 am). But, we have learned on the day we leave…
Finding Nemo – The Musical
In Animal Kingdom you can cross into Dinoland USA and find The Theater in the Wild. This theater currently houses “Finding Nemo – The Musical.” When we were there the show was playing five times during the day. Hours of showing and number of shows vary by crowd levels and seasons. Check the Time Guides…
My Favorite Snack Place in All of Walt Disney World
Every trip we have to make a plan to stop in Epcot at the German Pavillion, at least once but usually twice, to use some of our snack credits (and some cash) to get treats at Karamell-Kuche. If you have never stopped here, as you walked through Germany you could probably smell it. Just as…
Three Generations at Walt Disney World
The first picture is 2007 and the second is 2015. This is my father, my brother and my son who all share the same name. I have lots of reasons to love Walt Disney World. But one of the main reasons is all the memories we have tied to it. We have traveled with grandparents,…
1900 Park Fare – Breakfast Buffet
This is a picture of three generations – my father, my brother and my son. All have the same name. So this was a really special picture for us. We love Walt Disney World dining because we can always find someplace where we are all happy to eat. All three families were traveling together and…
Cosmic Ray’s – A Cool Place to Stop for a Bite to Eat
We love Cosmic Ray’s for a bit of respite be it from the heat or rain. Situated on the edge of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World it always seems we are right in that area when hunger starts to gnaw at us. With 3 “Bays” for ordering lines are usually not too long,…
Beach Club at Walt Disney World
Lobby of the Beach Club. To be honest we are a die-hard Value Resort family. In our past 20 trips we have stayed at Moderate Resorts twice. We did not care for the Caribbean Beach Resort. Some people love this resort. For us, it did not work. We like being close to the big pool…
Epcot Flower and Garden Festival
When someone asks what my favorite time to go to Disney World is I always hesitate. I love the Food and Wine Festival or the Magic Kingdom at Christmas. I love the quite times in January/February with low crowds. But, my favorite time is when the entire park is in bloom. This year I was…
Liberty Tree Tavern
Liberty Tree Tavern is closed right now for some much-needed renovations. On our last trip my daughter and I went there for dinner. It had been at least 6-7 years since we were last at this restaurant. It is amazing how a few years and a much different perspective can make you see something in…
Teppan Edo – Japanese Habachi Grill
We have never eaten in Japan other than at the counter service restaurant, Katsura Grill, which we try to stop during every trip for a combination platter. We have made reservations in the past at Teppan Edo and ended up canceling because they never fit into our plans. I thought my children would love it…
