We are BIG fans of character dining. I recognize that it is foolishly expensive, and a lifetime of training by my frugal father makes me slightly appalled by our arguable wastefulness in selecting so many character dining meals every trip, but we simply love it, so we rationalize it as paying for the experience as [...]
Anyone who has read my prior trip reports knows that I describe my 3 year old as pretty timid/cautious/the opposite of a little wild man, but he did a full 180 this trip and totally surprised me !! I’m so proud of my brave little boy and I can’t get over it! You’ll recall that [...]
Whew, best day ever in Hollywood Studios yesterday. I’ll try to write a whole recap later, but we rode all the Toy Story Land rides (Saucers x4, TSM x2), Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway, Lightning McQueen, Muppets, Star Tours (Not me, I pretty nearly die on that one), Smugglers Run (also not me for fear [...]
One quick interesting thing to note when making dining reservations these days.... it would appear you have some leeway to play around with your party size a little bit if it helps you grab the reservation you are looking for. I noticed yesterday when checking into our reservation at Topolinos that we had the option [...]
During our week in WDW we had quite a few Santa sightings, which I figured I’d share in case anyone is on their way and wondering about Christmas theming, or anyone is depressed at home during a pandemic and just needs to see a Disney World Santa cruising the parks in a sweet ride. They [...]
Holy moly, mind blown by the one bedroom villa we just checked out of at Bay Lake Tower. I am a Boardwalk Villas loyalist through and through, with a little wiggle room for some Beach Club love here and there, so I always go into stays at other resorts with the bar set really high [...]

As someone who previously travelled to Disney World every year without a care in the world or the slightest restriction on what rides I could ride, I now find myself with numerous restrictions to consider as mother of a toddler in Disney World who always seems to think I might need to be aware of [...]
Update 11/3: This morning I was able to easily book any remaining days I was looking for at Topolinos and Hollywood and Vine during my December stay. Any meals that were unavailable yesterday opened up today. It’s worth giving it a look today! Update 10/14: a bunch of availability has opened up at Hollywood & [...]
Ugh, it’s like a knife to the heart whenever there is a Disney announcement about additional cancellations further out in the year. The announcement of the modification to Christmas celebrations hit me hard since I keep hanging on to hope that our weeklong trip in early December will be as magical as our November trips [...]
