M-iPhoneApp-C-K-E-Y: #Beers and Ears

February 6th, 2012 · No Comments

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series iPhone App

As I have now welcomed our evil Apple overlords, I am planning on reviewing apps. Recently, Beers and Ears tweeted that they just released an iPhone app: the Beers and Ears Walt Disney World Beer List App. If this is not an app designed for (21+) adult Disney Fans, it’s this one.

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Disney World Cash Hacks

February 2nd, 2012 · 1 Comment

When I saw Disney World Cash Hacks: 49 Hidden Tricks for Saving Tons of Cash at Disney World was available free for the Kindle on Couponing to Disney, I knew I needed to check it out.  To be honest, I was pretty cynical going in, as I feel like I’ve said and done most saving [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Beauty and the Beast 3-D

January 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment

  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 [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: The Muppets

November 26th, 2011 · 2 Comments

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 [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Cars 2

November 13th, 2011 · No Comments

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, [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: The Fountain

October 8th, 2011 · 2 Comments

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 [...]

Three Items I took on my recent Disney Trip…

September 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment

And what I thought of them… 1.  Supergoop Wipes:  I am a huge fan of Supergoop Sunscreen.  When I saw these in the basket at Sephora, I was really curious-after all, wipes mean not being subject to the dang 3-1-1 rule.  I loved them-I could sunscreen up while on Magical Express, and have sunscreen in [...]

WDW Not Just or Kids Review: Whispering Canyon Cafe

August 29th, 2011 · No Comments

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, [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Animal Kingdom Lodge (Jambo House)

August 23rd, 2011 · 2 Comments

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 [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Fresh-a-peel

May 16th, 2011 · 1 Comment

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 [...]
