I love the Kilimanjaro Safari. I know it is one of those attractions you either really love or really don’t care for. I admit there have been times we have been to Animal Kingdom that I have chosen not to ride on the Safari because it is later in the day and the animals always…

You are Going to Disney World Again? My Response
As I am getting ready to book our next trip to Disney World in February already I can hear in my head all the people who ask where we are going on vacation this year say, “Didn’t you just go there?” or my favorite, “You know there are other places to visit other than Disney…
What Is There do do for the Youngest Visitors at Walt Disney World?
This past weekend I was talking to someone about Walt Disney World and what is the “right” age to take children. My kids both started going to Disney World when they were 18 months. Do they remember those trips? No. But, we sure do. They developed great memories for their aunts, uncles and grandparents who…
Cape May Cafe – Seafood Buffet – Dinner Day 2
Plate from lower left (clockwise): red potatoes, peel-and-eat shrimp, paella, roasted root vegetables, and clams. We arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early at the Beach Club. We sat in the lobby for only about 5 minutes before our buzzer went off and we were seated for dinner. We had a later reservation of 8:00…
The Road Back to My Life
These are my thoughts on life, kids and Walt Disney World. I realized I had lost me somewhere along the way the past several years. I have been the perfect Mommy, wife and volunteer anyone could ask for. What I was missing was being there for me. I am going to take this year to…
Our Family: My Crafty Daughter
When we lived in New York my daughter was homeschooled. After the first day of 6th grade she looked at me and said, “These kids are annoying and they are wasting my time. Can I please be homeschooled?” She knew herself well enough to know it wasn’t going to work out for her in a…
Finding Dory – “Just Keep Swimming”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k69UcUB68Q Yesterday was Mama’s Day in our house. The Mama wanted to see Finding Dory so we all headed to the movies last night. I have to tell you I love the theater we go to. The tickets are $5.50 (opening weekend and it was after noon. Tickets before that are $2.75!) For us to get…
Disney Advanced Dining Reservations and Fastpasses
We love Disney! It is a passion of ours for the past 20 years. This is our first trip in 16 years without children or anyone else accompanying us. We love going to Disney with other family and our children as we can show them all the things we love about Disney. My favorite compliment…
It’s All About Disney World For Me
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…
One Week Later….
It has been crazy, hectic and fun. My little family loves traveling together. We drive everywhere and this trip was no different. In the past two days we have driven 1,245 miles. The very last 3 hours put us all to the test. We had been up since 6 am with nothing to eat all…
