Disney with Special Needs: Planning Your Jaunt to the Food and Wine Festival

Happy Fall, Y’all! Yes, it is July. However, it is after July 4, so therefore, it is autumn. Maybe not? Alright, so perhaps it isn’t quite fall yet, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of people whose thoughts have swung right on past the last several weeks of summer and are firmly dreaming of tumbling leaves, cuddly sweaters, and pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. I won’t lie, I kind of dream about this all the time. While last year that meant dreaming of spending my anniversary and Halloween at Disney, for many people that means one pretty fabulous event (and one that, incidentally, is going to start earlier this year than ever before), the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.

Terrific Tuesdays: Fall at Walt Disney World

We may be in the middle of summer, but believe it or not, Fall starts at Walt Disney World in just about 6 weeks! And if you have never experienced Disney during the Fall, I have just one word to tell you why you should: FUN! Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: The Seas with Nemo & Friends

The Seas with Nemo & Friends is a beautiful pavilion where you can take as much or as little time as you would like to explore.

And if you have ever stood underneath Spaceship Earth, you will get a rough idea of just how large The Seas is! Read more

Disney with Special Needs: Holidays at Disney Prep – Part Three

So when do you start packing for your Disney vacation? Not five months out? Oh. Well, that’s where we differ. I kind of don’t ever unpack from Disney. Not that I have suitcases shoved full of dirty vacation clothes that I just toss into the back of the car when we leave. We bring along laundry detergent and wash clothes before heading home and there are a few items that we don’t take out of our suitcases because they are for-Disney-only. Leaving them in the car makes me feel like I’m never too far away from another trip. Of course when it’s a special trip, like one over THE HOLIDAYS, even the real packing has to get a boost and start early. I haven’t gone full-on roll-the-underwear-and-tuck-the-socks yet, but I’ve been adding to my Disney stash and I wanted to give you a glimpse of the extra things I’m planning to bring along with me for this trip.

Wordless Wednesday: Animal Kingdom Entertainment

There is a lot to see and do in Animal Kingdom these days with the opening of Pandora – The World of Avatar, but while visiting this beautiful park, keep in an eye out for the “entertainment” too! Like all the Disney parks, some pretty amazing performers may pop up at any moment and they are super fun to watch (and maybe even participate in too!)
