Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening

Hold on to your lightsabers we have news about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. If you’re like me for some time now you have been tormented by the super far off idea that one day Disney would actually open the much talked about and over speculated Star Wars Land. Without a hard date on the project, it always seemed like waiting for Christmas….in February. Yeah sure it’s a nice dream but it is NEVER going to get here. Well, today the fine folks at Disney did us a solid and turned “one day” into a reality.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

When it comes to holidays everyone has their favorites, and Disney does them all. In fact, the holidays are usually peak times for Disney travel and for good reason. Walt Disney World seems to grab hold of the very essence of the Holiday and completely run with it. Halloween is no different. Growing up in south Louisiana this was always one of my favorite holidays, in part because fall meant cooler weather was on the way, but the rest I have to blame on my parents. Halloween was always the one holiday that they went all out. Decorations, candy, and costumes were just the start. Halloween night at our house was theatrics at its best. This was reason enough for Halloween to become one of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite times to go to Disney, for much of the same reason.

See You at Ohana!

See You at Ohana!

To any who know me it’s fairly obvious of where I rank good food on the hierarchy of important things. For those of you who don’t know me, well it’s pretty high up there. I love food. I can plan my entire week around good food. So it should come to no surprise that I am very big on Disney dining. It is one of my favorite things about planning our Disney trips (also the same as baseball stadiums but that’s another blog in itself.). I try to mix in my favorites while always trying to catch something new.

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden right in front of your eyes may be some of Disney’s best-kept secrets. It’s one of the things I love and appreciate so much about it. It is easy to get lost in the grander that is Disney, but for me, it’s the small touches that are right there under your nose that the majority of people probably overlook. For instance, have you ever noticed the peanut shells in the concrete near Dumbo’s Circus? What about the 13 lanterns hanging in the Liberty Tree to represent the original 13 colonies. Or the approximate 320 animals that make up the tree of life. I am not even going to try to give an approximate number of hidden Mickey’s in the parks and resorts.
