Imagine getting dropped off in San Francisco and told to go about your life. You want to do things in all corners of the city and are staying in the middle. But you don’t have your car with you.

Great.

The thing is — that’s essentially what you’re facing when you go to Disney World. The area encompassed by the resort is the size of San Francisco and many people don’t have their cars with them when they visit. My family always drives, so we are ready to drive wherever we need to go, but we rarely do.

One thing that you might have learned about my family thus far is that we are a bunch of theme park people. We just are. We love a day of wandering through looking at themeing, riding rides, eating all kinds of food that is probably terrible for us, and taking pictures.

The Transportation and Ticket Center is the hub of Disney World.

You could grab the monorail and feel futuristic, or you could go for something a touch more quaint and old-fashioned – the ferry. Read more

What could be more magical than being at Disney World? Celebrating something special at Disney World, of course. December 29 is Tutu’s birthday, so in honor of her, I thought we’d talk about getting celebratory at Disney when you also have to manage your special needs. This isn’t just about birthdays. Anything is worth celebrating when you’re at Disney and we’ve done birthday, anniversary, and milestone trips. We’ve seen people celebrating everything from finishing school to getting a new job to finalizing a divorce. That last one might be the most depressing celebration, but if you’re going to celebrate, go for it at Disney!

Let’s blow out some candles and get to partying… Read more
