A Weekend at Coronado Springs: What We Loved (and What We Didn’t)
On our recent weekend trip to Walt Disney World, we stayed at Coronado Springs Resort—and while it felt like a big leap away from our usual favorite, Animal Kingdom Lodge, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Timeshare Talk: The Good, The Bad, and The “Owner Update”
Let’s talk about timeshares real quick — because everyone has opinions, and there’s no shortage of research out there. Timeshare ownership is one of those travel concepts that sounds dreamy at first: a guaranteed vacation spot every year, with all the comforts of a condo instead of a cramped hotel room.

Orange Lake Resort (Kissimmee, FL – October 2025): Part 3
We kicked off our day bright and early with an 8:10 a.m. reservation at 1900 Park Fare, our very first character dining experience at this charming restaurant inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. I’ve been to the Grand Floridian before, but I’ve always entered through the second-floor monorail entrance. It’s beautiful, of course, but walking through…
