I finally made it over to the new Disney Art of Animation Resort at Walt Disney World. Let me just say, if you are a lover of Disney animation, especially Pixar, you have to go. I’m pretty confident this could become my family’s favorite resort. Now we just have to stay the night!! I have…
I present to you, the Cook Family Gingerbread House! It’s an annual tradition – we buy a kit and go crazy decorating! The one thing we always do, save some Halloween candy and use the leftovers for decorating. This kit also came with an icing bag, almost a professional one. In years past, we were…
There’s nothing like Christmas at Walt Disney World. One of my favorite holiday traditions, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Back in 1998, I actually worked at the then named Disney-MGM Studios while on the college program. I worked merchandise in various stores along New York Street. I actually have…
Our elf on the shelf, Nick, has been very busy so far this year, and it’s not even December! First, we found him tied by the Thanksgiving people. Then he hid in some Christmas trees, and was hanging on the Advent calendar. Yesterday, we found him after he broke into our S’Mores kit. Today, we…

We’ve…

Oh how times have changed! There’s even a Hanukkah channel on XM radio! I had no idea there was a surge in Hanukkah-related music! And…
Our Elf on the Shelf, Nick, has returned for the holiday season! Apparently though, the Thanksgiving people aren’t too happy he’s back before their big day tomorrow. They even enlisted the help of a few Star Wars dudes to keep him secure. UPDATE: I wasn’t home when the children woke up. My husband sent me…
I just love the Disney Parks blog. And I love that to attend an event, you have to fill out a video/photo waiver. I always think, they’ll never use me…but as I’m now scrolling through the blog, there I am! Check it out! And there’s me, clutching my water and taking photos like a tool…
I love all the little details hidden in the new Magic Kingdom Fantasyland at Walt Disney World. The one detail caught my attention and I think it’s just just hysterical. You can find this gem inside the Plantes et Fleures inside Fantasyland. This is Magic Kingdom Vice President, Phil Holmes. Now, I didn’t recognize him…
