Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

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 [...]

I am the second stop on our Magical Blogorail.” This month, we are sharing our favorite Disney Activity outside the parks.  Mine, which will come as no shock to my regular readers, is shopping [...]

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 [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.  Life has been kicking me in the booty, BUT this time next week I’ll be in Disney World, so there.  :)  Anyway, I managed to amass a bit of overtime at work this past week, so I, of course, decided to blow it in Walt Disney World.  I [...]

And I have to admit, it looks like a surprisingly awesome place for vegetarians and vegans.  I knew Fresh a peel was going to be vegetarian-friendly, but I did not know that there was going to be a BabyCakes bakery there as well.  BabyCakes is a bakery which will feature cupcakes which are gluten, egg, [...]
