When choosing a favorite time of year to visit Walt Disney World, one event to consider is the Food & Wine Festival that runs from late September to mid November. This is my all-time favorite time to go for an all adult trip. Being the more adventurous eater, that I am, I find the festival great for sampling all those foods that I normally don’t get at home. My husband being the not-so-adventurous eater that he is actually finds the Food and Wine Festival a great place to try some things that he may or may not like, but doesn’t have to dish out the expense of a full meal just to try a bite.

Cast Member’s Corner: Waiting in Those Disney Lines
If you’re headed to Disney World, you’re probably excited to go to the parks and get on all your favorite rides, but you’re not looking forward to the lines. Well the Cast Members don’t want you to wait on those lines either. They’re trying their hardest to get you on as quickly and effectively as they can. If you are stuck on a long line near a Cast Member ask them if they know any trivia. A lot of times the Cast Members have trivia about the park or their ride, thinking about the answers could make your time pass a lot faster! Also take a good look at the decorations and read carefully, everything was decorated that way for a reason! Cast Members also may be able to let you know if there are any hidden Mickey’s on their attraction and where they might be. Read more
Disney with Little Ones: Fun Outside of the Parks
As I mentioned in a recent article, it is important for my family to build in some “rest” days during our Walt Disney World vacations. I use the term rest lightly because while some people may take that as an opportunity to snooze until brunch-time, that’s just not how my family rolls. Sleeping in is sleeping until 8 so we are up and at ’em pretty early most days, whether we are on vacation or not. Since my 2 little boys are bursting with energy first thing, we try to take advantage of the time to do something active. We had 2 full days to do whatever park-free activities we chose during our most recent trip. Our first day was a pool and laundry day followed by a leisurely evening spent at Downtown Disney.
