As I am writing this post, we are within just a few days of our trip to Walt Disney World for New Years, and I honestly think that the next best thing to being at Disney is getting ready to go to Disney. Of course it’s all kind of crazy, trying to wrap up all the details that didn’t get taken care of because, well, we had this little Holiday over the past weekend…..but it’s all still good, because it’s a fun crazy!

Gnomeo and Juliet – In Theaters February 11, 2011
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Walt Disney Pictures will be releasing a new Romeo and Juliet movie. It is called Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D and I can’t wait to see it because garden gnomes just happen to hold a special place in my heart. Among my other volunteer
I Am So Psyched For Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 – On Stranger Tides
I am a HUUUUUGE fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Although some critics felt that 2 and 3 were not as good as The Curse of the Black Pearl, I loved all of them. I had them on DVD and recently bought the set on Blu Ray and
Ask a Disney Question: Getting Merchandise from the Parks.
This question comes from Linda, who asks: We just got back from a magical 9 day visit at Kadani Village. While we were there I had a glass of wine at the Sanaa Restaurant. I do have the name of the wine but can not fine it anywhere to purchase.
My Fab Five Magic Kingdom Attractions
Most of us really love the Magic Kingdom, and for many reasons. It is really the most “Walt Disney” of all the parks, it has so many attractions that Walt actually had a hand in, and it is full of fun and fantasy. I know we all have favorite attractions
Disney World has Made Me a Runner
I have never been a runner. Remember in school having to run the mile? I walked. I’d jog a few steps when the gym teacher would yell at me, but then I’d go right back to walking my 16 minute mile. Soccer? I never liked soccer: too much running. Softball
My favorite Disney World Roller Coasters
As a roller coaster fan, I’ll admit that I grew up a self-proclaimed roller coaster CHICKEN! In fact, it wasn’t until I went to a theme park in Virginia that I became a fan. But that’s another story for another time. Over the years, I have become a huge fan

Today, I am sharing another tidbit of information I discovered while on my recent Keys to the Kingdom Tour at the Magic Kingdom. After our morning stroll down Main Street, we headed over to Adventureland and Liberty Square to learn a little about a man named Marc Davis. If you
What Is ‘The Best Seat In The House’ At Walt Disney World?
When I first went to Walt Disney World, I thought I had to be at the head of the line for everything. So I arrived early for Shows. Huddled by the Entry Doors of Attractions. And ran to the Rides. Many have done this thinking that it will give them
I Had Le Cellier and Now I Don’t
I had them. The perfect ADRs for my husband and my 10th anniversary trip. And now I don’t. Life happens. Our babysitter can’t watch the kids anymore so we are no longer Florida-bound. It’s a very disappointing turn of events and I held it together when I cancelled our DVC
Review: Step Up 3 Dances to its own tune
Let me start out by saying I have not seen any of the other Step Up movies. My wife is the one who likes dancing movies like Dirty Dancing, Save the Last Dance and Bring it on. I am more of a Footloose, Saturday Night Fever, and Breakin’ 2 Electric
Disneyworld Hidden Gems – Epcot’s UK Pavilion
Tomes would be written about the attractions at Epcot oft times bypassing the minutiae of the architecture that evokes these feelings of nostalgia and giddiness for travel. My goal is to bring to light the small in order to give the traveller better vantage of the entire picture. Now we
