We pick up this installment of our Impressions de Bricker France Report after Part 4, our long day in Paris. We had called a last-minute audible and decided to do the Loire Valley rather than another day in Paris, a decision that was motivated 100% by Impressions de France. Does that seem crazy? (Note: for
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa are among the most sought-after Disney Vacation Club rooms, in part because it’s the only DVC resort at Disneyland and in part because it’s one of the nicest resorts in the U.S. This makes the 3-Bedroom Grand Villa among the hardest of the hardest DVC rooms
In our Ultimate Guide to Christmas 2016 at Walt Disney World, we’ve bee questioning what Disney’s Hollywood Studios would do for Christmas as an Osborne Lights replacement for several months. Lately, the rumblings had been nothing, and that instead the park would focus on enhanced Star Wars offerings to coincide with Rogue One: A Star
We had lingered too long at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial mentioned at the end of Part 3 of our Impressions de Bricker Trip Report, and that coupled with delays in traffic led to us arriving late into Paris. Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue, but we were staying at an Airbnb, and were
Étretat is the next stop on our Impressions de France-inspired tour and I promise this will be much more exciting marginally less likely to put you to sleep than the EPCOT Centrist geekery of Part 2 of the Trip Report, where we nerded out over a random sign, and creeped out the locals. Anyway…Étretat. With
The day after Part 1 of our Impressions de Bricker France Report, we left Mont Saint Michel for other parts of Normandy. The first stop of the day was Beuvron-en-Auge. If you haven’t heard of Beuvron-en-Auge, you’re probably not alone. Even though Impressions de France is the Epcot attraction we experience most (no joke), I
In this trip report, we’ll cover our Epcot-inspired stops throughout Europe, plus the inaugural Disneyland Paris Half Marathon. Our trip to France for the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon actually started several weeks before the race. In fact, the story of our incredible adventure starts about 20 minutes after California’s Disneyland Half Marathon, when Sarah picked
Hurricane Matthew has caused a number of closures and cancellations around Walt Disney World. While we have been keeping track of Hurricane Matthew with updates in our Tips for Storm Season at Walt Disney World post (which is otherwise more aimed at making the most of your vacation time on rainy days during storm season).
Happy Anniversary, Walt Disney World! On October 1, 1971, Magic Kingdom opened its gates to guests as the Vacation Kingdom of the World. I thought it’d be fun to reflect on some weirder moments from Magic Kingdom’s history, especially after the popularity of our Weird Disneyland: 60 Years of Zaniness post. Much like Disneyland, there
Spread across the Global Marketplace booths around Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival are some 70+ different snack-sized food options of varying quality: some good, some bad, and some ugly (I’m looking at you, Vegan Korean BBQ). This post shares our picks for the best food at the event. If you are so inclined, you can
Liberty Tree Tavern is a Thanksgiving-style and table service restaurant in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, with a colonial American theme. By Thanksgiving-style, I mean that dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern is served family style, and the foods served in the “Patriot’s Platter” are what was consumed for the first Thanksgiving. Liberty Tree Tavern is
