Our first Disney World Halloween and Food & Wine Festival trip! We stayed at Fort Wilderness in the Cabins, attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, participated in a couple Food & Wine Festival Seminars, and hung out with some awesome Disney photographers from Flickr–all within the span of a long weekend. It was a
This was another great trip to Walt Disney World for us, although on a bit of a budget since we’d be returning in October 2009. On this trip, we stayed at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort, dined at various restaurants, and had an all-around great time. We both started to learn the ropes with our
Jiko is a Signature Restaurant at Walt Disney World, located in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Jiko – The Cooking Place (its full name…I don’t know anyone who actually calls it that) participates in the Disney Dining Plan, requiring 2 credits, and also accepts the Tables in Wonderland card for a 20% discount. Because it requires
Our Christmas Walt Disney World trip report features tons of photos, including pictures of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Candlelight Processional, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade. We also cover some special events, like D23’s Magic and Merriment (which included a tour of the Cinderella Castle Suite) and WDW

The next morning was Sunday, and I was ready to rock and roll early. I knew Disneyland opened at 8 am, so I decided to get up around 6:45 so I could be to the turnstiles by 7:30. Sarah had no interest in getting up this early, so I headed out on my own. I
There was good reason why it only took us 5 minutes to get ready. Because when we arrived in our room, we only had 10 minutes until we said we’d meet the Works (and Katie, Work-to-be). We exited the room with 5 minutes to get from our hotel door to New Orleans Square. Few thought
Disneyland Resort’s World of Color (in Disney California Adventure Park) nighttime water spectacular combines water, vibrant colors, fire and light into a jaw-dropping delight for the senses. More than 1,000 jets of water form incredible shapes in time to the music as Disney characters come to life on a shimmering veil of mist. Disney California
The next morning was an 8 am park opening, and Sarah and Henry weren’t down for rope drop. I wasn’t going to miss it, though, so I got up bright and early. I was also a bit nervous about our Club 33 reservations having gotten “lost” or something, so the sooner I could verify them,
The next morning, we called Henry and told him of our intention of doing an Ultimate Touring Plan (or at least a half day of one). We really didn’t want to adhere to the breakneck pace of one of the plans the entire day, so we figured doing it until we had a late-lunch would
Disney California Adventure just sounds odd after hearing it as Disney’s California Adventure for so long, and given that it’s inconsistent with the other properties (Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, etc.) in Florida.
