Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

Shortly before I left for Orlando, I was excited to find that the copy of Passporter’s Disney Cruise Line 2010 which I ordered months ago had finally arrived.  On the whole, I was really impressed with the book-it blew the Birnbaum’s guide out of the water.  I have to admit I’m a touch confused-I’ve read [...]

I am now thisclose to being one month out from my Universal Orlando trip.  As such, I’m going to chat a bit about planning and share my to-do lists. // As the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWoHP)is now open, I have begun a more fleshed out touring plan.  I had been pretty settled on [...]

I just used the new beta online Advance Dining Reservation (ADR) system at Disneyworld.com.  I was pretty happy with my experience, but I really didn’t use the old online system.  On my 2009 trip, I had my travel agent make my ADRs, so the only time I used the old system was for my reservation [...]

Not something you’d expect to hear from a vegetarian, normally.  When I heard that McDonalds at Downtown Disney was closing, and being replaced by Pollo Campero, I figured it was an even exchange (McDonalds is wicked vegetarian unfriendly, so a chicken restaurant seemed not much of a difference).  However, I noticed today on Mouse Unlimited’s [...]

Warning-if you’re reading this post because you are checking your RSS reader before lunch, you might want to come back later.  Anyway, I firmly blame Katie for this week’s Friday Favorite-her discussion of Jiko earlier this week got me all hungry.  Boma is also at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (AKL), Jambo House. It is a [...]

Is the Disney Dining Plan worth it?  What if you’re a vegetarian?  I started my lifestyle of adult trips in 2005, and was intrigued by the Disney Dining Plan (DDP).  I really liked the concept of already paying for my meals ahead of time.  However, I ended up using an AAA room discount, and as [...]
