Winging It at Disney: Flying Fish and a Few Sweet Surprises
Some of my favorite moments at Walt Disney World are the completely unplanned ones. I get stressed out when I plan something down to the minute and then it doesn’t go according to plan. Anyone else? For our family, winging it is usually the way to go. I think flexibility is especially important when traveling…

Jiko: The Meal That Stole Our Hearts at Animal Kingdom Lodge
We usually find ourselves dining at Boma and The Mara whenever we stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I’m honestly not sure why we’ve never made it to Sanaa or Jiko: The Cooking Place before. This trip, we couldn’t quite decide what we were in the mood for, so we finally took the leap and booked…

A Little More Disney Magic at Animal Kingdom Lodge (June 2026)
I don’t even know where to begin with our most recent stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Every visit feels magical, like we’ve stepped into an entirely different world. From being greeted by name when we pull up to valet to seeing our family name displayed on the television in our room, it’s the little Disney…

From Skyliner to Spaceship Earth: Our Epcot Adventure
Since our group enjoyed the Skyliner so much, we decided to take it all the way into Epcot. We lucked out—again—when the first bus that pulled up was for Hollywood Studios (a Skyliner stop), so we were quickly on our way to start our afternoon adventure. Epcot is a family favorite. The rides are great,…

Skyliner, Easter Eggs, and Fireworks: Our Spring Disney Resort Hop
One of our favorite adventures while staying at Walt Disney World is resort hopping. There’s something so fun about hopping on a bus, the monorail, or the Skyliner and seeing where the day takes you. You can map out a detailed itinerary—or just go where the next ride leads. We’ve done both, and honestly, there’s…

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. We had been eyeing Coronado Springs for a while but always found ourselves pulled back to AKL (and…

Disney Springs – June 2024
Repost from momma mommy bwuh. During our Orange Lake vacation, we finally made it to Disney Springs—something we’ve always intended to do but never quite managed. Despite our love for the parks and the resort, we were eager to soak up some extra Disney magic at Disney Springs. Our primary goal was to visit the LEGO…

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…

Orange Lake Resort (Kissimmee, FL – October 2025): Part 2
Quiet mornings at Orange Lake are good for the soul. I love to sleep in while on vacation, but there’s something special about waking up before everyone else and soaking in the peace and stillness of the morning. Our condo porch overlooks a tranquil pond — the perfect backdrop for a slow start to the…

Part Two: Lake Lure Adventures – Food, Finds, and Farewell
Our second evening was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We ventured out to Grey Hawk Bar and Gardens, an outdoor spot strung with garden tables, cozy firepits, and lawn games. A live band was playing when we arrived, setting the perfect mood. I ordered a cocktail called Cool as a Cucumber—so refreshing,…
