Of course we all love food.  So, it wasn’t a surprise to me that we had at least one restaurant on my kids’ top 10 most fun things to do at Walt Disney World.  Number 5 is dining at the Biergarten, which is located in the Germany Pavilion. 

I made our ADR several months ahead of time, and one of the main reasons I chose this restaurant was for my father.  He was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War and I have often heard him talk about schnitzel and other famous foods of Germany and how he would love to go back.  I always try to pick at least one restaurant for each member of our party (usually 7 of us).

Running With Disney: Less Than a Month to Go!

Nancy Disney Vacation Planning, What to Do at Disney World , , , 3 Comments

So my Disney trip countdown says 23 days! 🙂 It’s hard to believe that by the time we actually get to Walt Disney World for our January trip, it will have been 367 days since we left…but who’s counting….. It’s been a crazy year for us, with trips planned and cancelled multiple times, but it looks like this one is actually going to happen!

After our last trip that had so many changes, I must say that I have really learned flexibility when it comes to Disney vacation planning. Which is a good thing, because with less than a month to go….and Christmas thrown in there…..I still have quite a few things to do before we leave! Read more

Spending a birthday at Walt Disney World can be a great experience. Here are some tips for making a magical birthday affordable.

The Four Seasons Resort broke ground this week on its newest hotel at Walt Disney World. It is scheduled to open in 2014.

There was some big…and for many of us, very sad…… news this week about Walt’s name no longer appearing in Disney movies. The “Walt Disney Pictures” logo has apparently been replaced with a simple “Disney.”    Jim Hill Media had an explanation of why the change was made. Read more

What is the ONE thing that should not be missed on someone’s first trip to Walt Disney World? (And if you have not visited Disney World yet….what is the ONE thing that is most important for you to see/do?)

As you may have read in my post last week, we will be taking my son’s girlfriend to Walt Disney World with us this trip. She has never taken a Disney trip and she is very excited. This being her first time, I want to make sure she experiences all the important things at Disney, but our “land” part of the land and sea trip is limited to only 3 park days so I have been trying to narrow them down.
