Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

A couple weeks ago, someone on Twitter asked what pavilion at Epcot was your favorite.  I paused for a moment:  which one is my favorite?  Do I go with the quaint charm of the UK?  The scenery of Canada?  Then it hit me-Norway.  Norway is not only my favorite pavilion, but (IMO) the perfect Epcot [...]

Or more specifically, your Disney World bucket list.  Admit it, you have one-even if it’s just a couple of items, it’s something that you like.  Why is it a favorite?  Because my bucket list gives me the warm fuzzies when I think about them.  So, without further adieu, here are the top three items on [...]

Much like my love of Disney World, my love of character autographs has been going on since before I ever set foot on WDW property.  Before my first trip in 1993, I had the Easter Bunny deliver me an autograph book.  I got a bunch of autograph on that trip.  I used it again on [...]

I don’t care how many times I’ve seen it, I never fail to laugh at “what do they know, they’re tourists?” and “what sort of foolishness do you want to see?”  Muppet Vision 3-D is an attraction that is always high on my must-do list, but I also love the Muppets in general.  I am [...]

Ear plugs at Walt Disney World:  Not Just for Kids.  I’m not a fan of loud things-never have been.  As such, I spent much of my early trips with my fingers plugged in my ears-effective, but uncomfortable.  Before my Disneyland trip in 2005, I was reviewing AllEars’ packing list, and saw someone who had recommended [...]

I’ve been a fan of Downtown Disney (DTD) since it was Disney Village Marketplace.  Being that our customary hotel was Dixie Landings, a boat ride down the Sassagoula to eat and shop was always a part of my Disney vacations. I love the food opportunities at Downtown Disney.  Not only do they feature an immense [...]

Ok, I’m going to pop in for a quick public service announcement-Goofy’s Candy Company calls these cookies “dipped fudge cookies”,  however, they are two chocolate cookies sandwiched between a cream filling.  Therefore, let’s refer to it as a huge oreo*.  Goofy’s candy company is located in Downtown Disney Marketplace, near where the old pet store [...]

This week’s Friday Favorites is a little odd.  :)  It’s Cokewithnoiceplease.  That would be my standard non-alcoholic drink order at any restaurant.  It is one of my main ways to study a waitperson-what to endear yourself to me?  Keep the Cokes ice-free and coming. This is a quirk I’ve had for a while.  My father [...]

I first discovered the wonder of moisture-wicking clothing on my trip to the World in 2007.  I got on Splash Mountain with a moisture-wicking shirt and shorts on, and I was dry by Liberty Square.  I only bought a couple of these shirts (a few from LL Bean also had UPF to protect from the [...]

“If you are asked about major rivers in America, and you name the Sassagoula, you’re in the right place!”  So says Mike on Magical Mouse Radio.  And while I may not go that far, I do love the Sassagoula River.  If you’ve never stayed at Port Orleans (either French Quarter or Riverside), Old Key West [...]
