Thrifty Thursday: 20th Annual Epcot Food and Wine Festival

12113407_10153226739961234_3741321183463629271_oWhen choosing a favorite time of year to visit Walt Disney World, one event to consider is the Food & Wine Festival that runs from late September to mid November. This is my all-time favorite time to go for an all adult trip. Being the more adventurous eater, that I am, I find the festival great for sampling all those foods that I normally don’t get at home.

Terrific Tuesdays: Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life

1908040_10153148029111234_1220008989881715781_nI absolutely love walking around the Tree of Life, through the Discovery Trails and exploring the 300 + animals “carved” in to the trunk of this magnificent man-made tree! Not only is it a relaxing and shaded walkway, but it also gives you an up-close view of every animal and creature. Every time I have been there, I find other creatures I never saw before. It is hard to believe each leaf, twig, etc was meticulously hand crafted to become the icon of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Read more
