I’m not gonna lie, I have a major sweet tooth. And no where is that sweet tooth happier than at Walt Disney World. Treats abound at the Disney parks, Disney Springs, the resorts and dining locations and there is pretty much something for everyone.

Of course, if it’s the Holidays, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that there will be treats….and even more guaranteed that Disney will be in overdrive when it comes to those treats.

With that in mind, I present: Holiday desserts at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: Read more

Disney with Special Needs: That’s a Lot of Dessert

If you take even a brief tour of the Disney website you’ll find that there is something special that pops up fairly frequently — dessert parties. When I was first planning an adventure to Disney I only noticed two — what was then the Tomorrowland Terrace Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party and an Illuminations party. Since then, the number of parties available has exploded and virtually anywhere you are in the evening, there is a party getting ready to go.

So what are these parties and do they work for a family with special needs? Would a vegan, two super small eaters, two super big eaters, crowd-haters, and even a service dog find enough reasons to shell out the extra cash for these added experiences? Read more

Our family visited the Walt Disney World Resort this fall and I think we were all most excited and anxious to visit Animal Kingdom. I was personally really excited for the extended hours  – Animal Kingdom used to close in the late afternoon/early evening but in September the park was open until 9pm. We had heard great things about the new evening show, Rivers of Light. It did not disappoint, it was absolutely breath-taking. The only gripe was that we had to get our seats over an hour before the show and it was pretty hot, crowded, and a little stinky if I’m being honest. It was worth it though! Read more
