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!!!…
I’ve talked before of my love for Splitsville, the bowling alley/swanky food place in Tampa. We have long said there should be one in Orlando – and my husband even said it should open at Downtown Disney like 10 years ago! Well – it has finally arrived in Orlando – and at Downtown Disney!! He’s…
The Lion King buildings of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort are probably the most beautiful of all the buildings. The colors and the mix of the characters with natural surroundings really make you feel like you’re in the wild somewhere. I think my only problem with this area, more so than the others, the big…
The Little Mermaid Building at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the furthest one from the main building. But it also seemed to be the quietest while I was there! It has its own pool – and it was EMPTY on a beautiful hot Sunday. I was tempted to book a room just because it…
I play favorites, and the Disney/Pixar ‘Cars’ movie is one of my all-time favorites. I have yet to make it out to Disneyland to see the new Cars Land, so this is as close as I’m going to get to Cars at the moment. If/when we stay at the Disney Art of Animation Resort, I’m…
