A great place to relax on those hot afternoons or when you want to just chill awhile is The Seas with Nemo & Friends in Epcot. I dare you to watch the fish, sharks and sea-life and not get mesmerized by the calming affect. Who knows – you may even see a diver! Read more
Howdy, Folks! Greetings from closer to Disney than we have ever lived. Yes, I’m still excited about our move to our little mini-farm… not so much about unpacking an infinite number of boxes… Do two people really need this much stuff? ‘Nuff about my personal news… Let’s see what’s hopping through March 2015 at Walt Disney World!

I’ve heard many people ask, “Is there anything at Epcot for my kids to do?” I personally think there is something for everyone at every park. For the child who is interested in history, Spaceship Earth at Epcot should not disappoint. This attraction is the iconic symbol for Epcot. This 15 minutes dark ride goes through the advancement in communication over time. Read more
We have done it ~ Steve and I have bought the farm (literally) and moved to central west Georgia from North Alabama to save gas when we go to Disney. Really. Our old address in New Hope, AL (just south of Huntsville, AL), was 617 miles (9 ½ hours without traffic) from our favorite resort, Disney’s Boardwalk Villas. By buying our little mini-farm in Butler, GA, we have reduced the trip to 372 miles (5 ½ hours without traffic). That’s 245 miles closer to Disney! Now if you consider that gas currently is about $2.19/gallon and my Tahoe gets approximately 18 miles to the gallon, it will take about 40 gallons round trip as opposed to the former 68 gallons. Why that’s a savings of 28 gallons per trip = $61.32 savings! When Steve got this offer to come back to Georgia, we did consider that it would put us closer to family; we also have been blessed to find our dream home that fits us better than we could have hoped, but the deciding factor was we are now 245 miles closer to Mickey! So last week, we packed up two 26’ moving trucks, my Tahoe loaded with our pets (5 dogs, 3 cats, and 20 exotic birds) with a 16’ trailer loaded with bird cages, and my Mom’s Lincoln to caravan from North Alabama to our new home and life in central west Georgia.
