Terrific Tuesday: Disney’s Earl of Sandwich

DSCN0288The last time my son and I were in Walt Disney World, we stopped at Downtown Disney on the way out of town. The plan was to find something to eat, grab a few pics and then head out. Seeing Earl of Sandwich we realized they had breakfast – it had been so long since we last visited Disney that Earl of Sandwich wasn’t there the previous trip. This was a very pleasant surprise! Breakfast was great, coffee was awesome and prices were reasonable! We definitely will put this into our plans for our next trip in November. Read more

Disney with Little Ones: May is the Time to Play!

10514206_10101674731002714_6061990575877628908_oMy husband, two little boys, and I just returned from a greatly anticipated, fun-filled 9 night stay at the Walt Disney World Resort.
