We visited Walt Disney World in Orlando this week, and were blessed with small crowds, and, for the majority of the time, extremely short lines. The benefit of timing a visit when the Florida kids (and many others) are already back in school! There were two exceptions to the short queues – Soarin’ at Epcot, and Toy Story […]

During a recent visit to Walt Disney World, my family had supper at the Garden Grill in the Land, at Epcot. We had the Harvest Feast supper at Garden Grill. This was the first time we’d eaten at this restaurant, but having tried every other character meal multiple times, we had to fill in the

I love Disney. I love walking up Main Street USA, and taking in the sights and sounds. I love riding Cinderella’ s Carousel, and riding attractions like Carousel of Progress, Spaceship Earth, and Soarin’. I’m not by nature a roller coaster junkie… but my 11 year old daughter, Ciara, is one. Much to the delight

On a recent trip to Walt Disney World, Orlando, I explained to my 4-year-old how the newest “meet and greet” at Toontown works. Tinkerbell and her fairy friends were waiting for us to see them, but, since everyone knows that fairies are wee, we would have to walk through a magical forest, get sprinkled with pixie

When you visit Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, Orlando; you should do the Studio Backlot Tour. We always enjoy the 35 minute tour that is a combo of a tram ride and a walking tour. You get to walk through prop storage areas from recent Disney movies (Prince of Persia stuff was all over the place), see

Disney park tickets are a big part of the expense of going to visit Mickey. But it’s always amazing to me how some of my new clients want to scrimp on the day count on their tickets to save a little moolah. Doesn’t work! Disney charges the most for one day tickets. Then, every day you

It’s always fun to introduce something educational on a holiday. During a recent trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, I took my family to Club Cool at Epcot. This isn’t an attraction, in the normal Disney sense of the word, but it is indeed a cool spot to rest, and get out of the

We recently visited the “American Girl” store in Boston. My girls had a blast. The Natick Collection mall houses the American Girl store. Scads of high-end stores are a shopper’s delight, but none thrilled the hearts and minds of my 4 and 10 year old like the American Girl store. My girls had saved their Christmas, birthday, and

One of the questions I often get from anxious new Disney clients is “what is a fastpass?” Fret no more! The fastpass is just Disney’s way of helping you avoid queuing up for hours at popular rides. It was introduced in 1999, and it is Disney’s version of a ride reservation system. Think of it as
