Let me start this post by saying that I get why the Disney Dining Plan is so appealing, I really do. You’ve pre-paid for your meals ahead of time (no un-magically big credit card bill to come home to), you don’t have to worry about how much anything costs (it’s “included”), and you can really […]
Walt Disney World Reviews Part 2: THE FOOD!
Let me start by saying, I am NOT a food blogger. I don’t even take pictures of what I eat. So this will not be on caliber with real food bloggers, many of whom I love and admire! But, as most humans do, I enjoy a good meal, especially at Disney! And we had a […]
Disney World Trip Report and Reviews! Part One: Contemporary Resort
I wasn’t going to do an actual trip report, and this really won’t be in the traditional sense. Honestly, the trip happened so last minute and I didn’t take many pictures because I was too busy having fun! But I would like to review a few of the things we did, a few of them […]

Owning Disney Vacation Club The Good and The Not As Good
We have owned points in Disney Vacation Club for several years now. I get asked about it A LOT so I thought I’d do a quick post reviewing our experience, sharing a couple things we’ve learned, and what we would do differently if we had it to do over! We purchased our contract from a […]
Universal Orlando When You’re a Disney Family
For years, friends have been telling us that we just HAD to go to Universal Resort in Orlando. We are Disney people through and through, and something about cheating on the mouse just felt wrong.
