When planning a vacation to Walt Disney World, one of the things that is most discussed is where to stay. And it’s certainly easy to understand why, as this is a central piece to any vacation, partly because it is often the most expensive part. So this is a conversation I have with my travel clients often, as folks are always looking for the best ways to save money. 🙂

And I’m happy to help because I’m all about saving money. But I am also about getting the most value on your vacation too….and sometimes that means that you pay a little more to get a LOT more as a result.

So, while there are times when it may be in your best interest, financially, to stay off property, there are other times when you really, really, really, really need to stay with Disney. Really. 🙂 Read more

We have all asked ourselves these questions every time we visit the most Magical Place on Earth! So let’s start at the beginning……… Read more

One of the best places to find a great variety of options for quick service meals is Sunshine Seasons in Epcot. Located in Future World on the lower level of “The Land”, here you will find a number of places to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

Each section has their own cuisine, so you can find Asian, gourmet, soups & sandwiches and wood-fired meals in addition to a garb-n-go section for even quicker meals. Special diet options are available such as gluten free, Kosher and vegetarian. And of course, it wouldn’t be Disney without desserts. The produce served and used throughout all the stations is from The Land’s very own greenhouse, which makes it even better. Read more
