What are the best shoes for Disney? Believe it or not, this is a pretty controversial topic! Some people are die hard sandal wearers, and others insist you HAVE to wear sneakers. Personally, I believe you should wear whatever is comfortable for YOU. For me, I am extremely flat footed, so I am fine wearing flip flops all day. I know that sometimes that isn't the case, though. Wearing the right shoes is extremely important to prevent you from getting burnout as ...

Dining Review – Carnation Cafe Breakfast
I don't know if you know this about me yet - but I love breakfast. Which is weird, because I distinctly remember HATING breakfast food growing up. Regardless of my random change of heart in college regarding breakfast food, going out for breakfast is one of my favorite things.

I'm a veterinary technician, and while I love my job and wouldn't do anything else, it doesn't exactly leave a ton of extra cash to constantly go to Disney. Still, I'm a believer in making things work with your limited finances, and I've found many tips and tricks over the ...
A Trip Down Memory Lane – the Disney Electrical Parades
Disney parades are some of my favorite attractions at the park. I love taking pictures of them, the soundtracks, and the excitement when you hear the opening announcement come on over the speakers. The nighttime electrical parades are some of the most magical of all. The entire concept - parade floats made out of lights - is uniquely Disney. On many nights, you can find the streets around the parade route filling up with people HOURS in advance to get a good ...

Anyone who has been to any sort of theme park knows that a rude guest can sour the experience for EVERYONE in the vicinity. Not to mention, cast members have enough to deal with it as it is. Here are just a few tips on how to be a courteous guest and help the Disney ...
