We had a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World last week, enjoying “old” favorites and discovering new ones. As we are less than a week until Christmas, I thought I’d share today a few of the fun and festive Holiday moments that we especially enjoyed! Read more
Exploring Disney: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe

One of our favorite places to go for a Quick Service Meal is Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. As the largest counter service restaurant in MK, you will find plenty of seating, with some areas having a beautiful view of Cinderella’s Castle!
Exploring Disney: Once Upon a Christmas Parade
Other than Halloween at Disney World, very few things in life are as wonderful as Christmas in Disney World. I will even relent and say for many families, the holiday season in the World is probably the absolute most magical experience. In a place where the air is already filled with magic and happiness, and wonderful things happen all the time, adding Christmas to it just puts it over the top. There are countless fabulous things to do during the holidays in the World to give you the warmth in your heart, but the centerpiece for many joyful celebrations is the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and within that, is the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. The parades of Disney World are fairly legendary as it is, and there is something truly spectacular about the special holiday parade. Full of sparkles, scents, and snow, you can’t help but get a little jolly watching this parade. Read more
Disney with Kids: Why Breakfast is Best
My family and I always make a point to be sure and try new experiences every time we go to Disney World. Since we only get to go every other year, we try to pack a lot of fun into our 8 or 9 magical days each time. And since we’re always on a budget, we only get to check out 2 or 3 table service meals each trip. It’s going to take us a long time to eat around the World at this rate, but we’re committed to the challenge! Read more
Exploring Disney: Columbia Harbour House

If you’re looking for a great out of the way place to eat in Magic Kingdom, look no further than Columbia Harbour House. Located on the outer edge of Liberty Square, this early American themed counter service restaurant has chicken and seafood selections. In addition, they also have salads, soups and a Lighthouse Sandwich which is humus with tomato & broccoli slaw on multigrain bread. Read more
