Wednesday with Walt: Poor Henpecked Father
I love reading old articles and transcripts from interviews with Walt or Lillian Disney about their family life. They had a love for each other that is refreshing to read about. In one of my favorite articles, which was printed in McCall’s magazine in February, 1953, Mrs. Disney talked openly, honestly

Disney World Planning 101 – Renting a Locker

Walt Disney World Dining: Breakfast at the Parks, or at the Resorts?
It’s one of the age-old questions asked about a Disney vacation: Which is better, to eat breakfast at one of the resorts, or to eat breakfast at one of the parks? As is so often the case when you are talking about this or that with regard to Disney,

Before boarding the Disney Dream, my son and I had just (finally) gotten over having the flu. I was a bit apprehensive about sending him (age 5) to the Oceaneer’s Club in fear that he may come down with some other child’s illness while we were on vacation. This is
My Suite Dream
I have been blessed during much of my adult life to be able to visit Walt Disney World pretty often. I have ridden every ride, seen every show, enjoyed lots of great food, shopped at nearly every store, and have been lucky enough to have met wonderful people from all

Disney Digital Book – Tron iPad App Review
It seems like every time I turn around, my i-pad is missing, a pair of 9 year old male hands are very interested in my technology. I wish those same hands, and the eyes and the brain that go with it, were as interested in homework! The third grade “required
Disney World Quick Tips – Make Sure To Plan Some Down Time
