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…

A Bad Day Found Us at Disney World

A bad day found my little family at Disney World. I was having a day… a week… I was in a rut. Honestly, I was feeling pretty burnt out, and I needed a break. Any Disney adult knows that one of the best ways to brighten your spirits is to have a Disney trip on…

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.

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…

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…
