I often will recommend to my clients that they stay at a Disney monorail hotel. The benefits of the location, and the convenience of access to Magic Kingdom, just can’t be beat. Last month, we visited WDW for the 19th time, and we again stayed at a WDW monorail hotel. We stayed at the Grand […]

I just returned from my family’s 19th trip to Disney, and as I’m writing several blog posts about the experience, I’m receiving queries from new clients who want to visit Mickey. First timers usually have no idea of the costs involved. They just figure it’ll be a lot. It doesn’t have to cost the moon, of course. A

For visit #19 to WDW last week, my family spent 3 nights at the Caribbean Beach moderate resort, and 3 nights at the Grand Floridian deluxe resort. I’d stayed at the Grand Floridian 4 times previously, so I knew I loved it, and knew what to expect. However, this was my first time staying at the Caribbean Beach

We spent some time chillaxin’ at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort during our visit last week. We swam in the big pool, with the waterslide. And hung out with some family. And chowed down on some good eats. (Caribbean burger with plantains, carmelized onions, and hot peppers. Yum! While kids had burgers and fries served in

No visit to Magic Kingdom is complete without watching the Wishes fireworks. It’ll make the most hardened person cry. Jiminy Cricket’s words, Tinkerbell shooting across the night sky, and then the little kids angelic choir voices gets me every time. I’m not a good enough photographer to capture the magic, although I always try. Fortunately, there
