“Hi, my name is Sheila, and I’m a Disney-holic.” Ok, it’s true. But I’m not really interested in stopping, so forget the 12-step program! We’ve been to Disney (WDW) 18 times now. We love it. It’s a great way to spend time as a family, get lots of exercise walking, and be applauded for generally […]

I was recently reminded by a colleague that not everyone is aware of Disney’s “Guest Assistance Card” or GAC. So, I thought if other travel professionals don’t know about the GAC, then surely there are clients out there in the same boat – and worse still, clients who may not be visiting Disney because of their family’s special requirements, and

The Grand Floridian is by far my favorite hotel at Walt Disney World (WDW). If you’re looking for Victorian-style elegance, white and pastel shades, carefully manicured lawns, and wonderful restaurants, then the Grand Floridian (GF) is for you. My family has stayed there 4 times, the last visit being October 2009. We headed down to WDW for what was

Staying at the Polynesian resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando this past trip, we had to have the character meal at the resort (well, we also tried to get supper at O’hanas… but it was booked solid for our entire stay). O’hana is Hawaiian for “family,” as anyone who has seen the movie “Lilo

During our visit to Walt Disney World (WDW) in Orlando last week, we had to visit the gang at the 100 Acre Wood. Christopher Robin and Rabbit are nowhere to be found, but the rest of the Pooh gang hang out at Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom (MK). Crystal Palace is just off Main Street USA

There’s no greater excitement than hopping on a plane to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando. And Disney’s Magical Express motor coach shuttle just makes the experience that much more pleasant. Once you land in the Orlando International airport, it’s always so much fun to catch the shuttle/ tram, and be whisked away to the luggage area.

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
