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 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…
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…
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…

My six-year-old is finally tall enough to ride Space Mountain at Walt Disney World! This is a big day for the family! After minor fears were calmed, we went full force into the darkness during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The best party of these special events are the non-existent ride lines! So we strapped in,…
One of my favorite “attractions” at EPCOT is the “Candy Lady.” She’s a little hiding treasure that is a MUST STOP on your tour of the country’s. The candy lady has a real name…Miyuki Sugimori. She performs this amazing candy art that was handed down through her family and is only one of 15 people…
Florida might not ever feel like “fall.” But there a ton of great events to try to help you get into the fall spirit. For me, it’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Yes, it’s expensive. But it’s the perfect family Halloween event. The special ticket entitles you to the park after it…
