Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

As I have now welcomed our evil Apple overlords, I am planning on reviewing apps much as I did with Disney Android Apps. I am starting with an app which I find, at kindest, pointless and at most honest stupid: the WDW Acronym Decoder.  I downloaded it shortly before I got my iphone, as StitchKingdom [...]

  Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie.  I saw it when it first came out.  While I was sitting all slack-jawed and this is awesome at the movies last night, it occurred to me that it has been twenty years since I had seen it in theaters.  I still remember how excited [...]

So, I am a Muppet fan (as you know).  I am also a fan of How I Met Your Mother (follow me on Miso).  I was thrilled when I heard that Jason Siegel was going to be involved in the making of the new Muppet movie.  But, let’s face it-we are the generation of the [...]

As you know, I am a HUGE Pixar fan, and I loved the first Cars .  My blue (Versa) is named Sally, in fact*.  So, I rented (on-demanded?) Cars 2 last night.  I was a little concerned, as I’d heard many negatives about it:  that it was Pixar’s first flop**, that it had no plot, [...]

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 [...]

One thing that some people might not know is that Disney World has not one-but two mini golf courses:  Fantasia Gardens, by Epcot, and Winterland Summerland, by Blizzard Beach.  Personally, I’ve not seen the point in spending extra money on a WDW vacation on something that a) is not included in what I have already [...]

As you know, on my last trip I ate at Whispering Canyon Cafe.  As I am a vegetarian, I was unsure what options would be available.  The sauteed quinoa cakes from lunch are on the dinner menu.  I love quinoa and edamame, but I was not a fan of this dish.  My fries were good, [...]

So, this trip was my first time staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge:  Jambo House.  By far, the biggest plus of AKL is the view.  I think I was upgraded to a savanna view, but no one said anything.  As such, I was surprised to be peering out my balcony and seeing a flipping giraffe walking [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a longtime fan of the Be Our Guest Podcast.  I’ve been listening to the show since show 4.  As such, when Mike tweeted that their new app* would be available for Android devices in the Android Market, I was wicked excited.  I downloaded it today. So far, I’m pretty impressed.  [...]

I know it’s not directly Disney related, but given that Melanie Notkin and the Savvy Auntie site were huge inspirations for me starting this site, I couldn’t not mention her new book, Savvy Auntie. I recently read this book, on my Kindle (although I bought my DSIL the dead tree book version, and the cover [...]
