Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

At home, I’m a huge fan of getting discounted restaurant gift certificates at Restaurant.com. However, I always thought that there was no point in looking at them for Orlando, as I stay on-site at both Universal and Disney World. This led me to do my own poking around on there, and I found that Bice [...]

The Fountain is a, well, soda fountain at the Dolphin Hotel.  After going to Fantasia Gardens, we needed to grab a cab back to AKL.  However, owing to our last-minute change of plans, we had not gone to Goofy’s Candy Co as planned.  We had skipped dessert at Whispering Canyon because of this plan, so [...]

Free stuff and Coke?  Two of my favorite things.  As such, when I heard about Club Station Cool, I know I had to check it out.  Club station cool may be the best product placement in WDW-free drinks and air conditioning?  Love!

As you know, I am going to WDW with a good portion of my family (two brothers, two sister-in-laws, and two nephews.) I’ll give you formal introductions later, but one night I an taking my nephews, who are 15 and 12, to Whispering Canyon Cafe.  I chose Whispering Canyon Cafe because I fell in love [...]

In December (man, I might want to actually re-start my trip report, huh), I had planned on checking out Fresh-a-Peel, the “healthy option” section of Pollo Campero in Downtown Disney.  These restaurants are located in the old McDonald’s area, and I was impressed by how un-McDonaldsy the place looked.  I was very excited to see [...]
