The cronut craze has taken over New York and much of the world. And now the doughnut-croissant hybrid has moved into Walt Disney World! I was lucky enough to randomly find it at Epcot. It’s technically not called a cronut, since that is now a trademarked name. The “Croissant Doughnut” is a delicious doughnut that…
Mickey Mouse is my first love. As a baby, my Aunt Laura’s mother (not my real aunt) sewed me a Mickey Mouse doll. It went with me everywhere. When I was about five I had my tonsils out and had to stay at the hospital. Mickey got his own hospital bracelet and stayed with me…
Parents are busy. It’s a constant game of Frogger. You have to keep moving or you’ll get run over by a car, a bus or giant log. You learn early on as a parent that you have to pace yourself. Parenting after all is a marathon. This past weekend, however, was a sprint and we…
The MyMagic+ experience is alive and testing at Walt Disney World…and I had the chance to take them for a test run this week! Disney does a great job of testing stuff with cast members before really rolling them out to the public. I was able to be a part of the test due to…
We had a great fourth of July!! We didn’t even really celebrate on the 4th – we decided to hit Disney’s Polynesian Resort on the 3rd for the fireworks. If you didn’t know, that’s the best place to watch the fireworks! First, the Polynesian has food and alcohol! The view from the beach is amazing. …
One week from today I’ll be at the Amway Center in Orlando with a bunch of 30/40 something’s pretending I’m a teen again with New Kids on the Block, Boys to Men and 98 Degrees. Honestly, I could care less about the first two. For me, it’s all about the Lachey boys. When I tell…
There are few things I enjoy more than a morning bike ride where I can explore. I get bored with the same old, but love to ride and find new places, trails and adventures. We recently went camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. We’ve gone before, but this is the first time I’ve brought my…
I don’t think I was put on this earth to camp. I mean, I can do it and actually don’t mind it. And by camping I mean I sleep in a tent, use a real bathroom and have access to food cooked for me. We camped for one night with the Cub Scouts- and that…
We are big fans of the Disney Vero Beach Resort. Vero is about two hours away from Orlando. Disney also has resorts in Hilton Head (which is awesome!) and one in Hawaii (which we have not been to…YET!) Vero is great because you don’t even need to leave the resort for anything. (Other than the…
The following is a blog/movie review written by my 9-year-old son. He was lucky enough to go to the Disney Parks Blog Oz meetup this weekend. Participants got to see the new movie, “Oz the Great and Powerful” before it opens to the public on March 8. There are spoilers – so you’ve been warned!!!…
