Disney World’s Haunted Mansion
(I stumbled upon a great group of bloggers on Instagram who hatched an interesting plan. Each month, the group picks a topic and everyone writes a blog post with their own take on a Disney subject. The great part is that everyone links to the next blogger’s post at the end of theirs. It’s a great way to spread the word about Disney bloggers. If I’m not park hopping at the moment, blog hopping seems like a fine idea. Welcome to the Disney Friend’s Halloween Blog Hop: Disney World’s Haunted Mansion!) Fall season has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. Now that the weather is cooler, the air…

15 Things You Should Know about Disney Cruises
Updated 10/2/2019 Trips to Disney World can involve a lot of planning. Well, at least some planning unless you are a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person. While planning is part of the experience for me, I found that letting go of the reins a little and leaning into a Disney Cruise was a nice change of pace. Disney Cruises are just…simpler. The only thing you NEED to do is decide the stateroom type and location you want and whether you want the early or late dining time. There is only ONE bleary-eyed at the computer moment needed to secure a boarding time, make reservations at the fancier adult only restaurants and…

7 Ways to Resort Hop at Disney World
The resorts at Walt Disney World are worth visiting. Anyone can visit ALL of the resorts at Disney World. No reservation or park ticket required. We try to visit a few resorts every trip. I prefer to call it resort snooping, because that is REALLY what we’re doing most of the time. If you haven’t done it yet, what are you waiting for? I understand wanting to maximize your time in the parks. We all want to get the most bang for our buck! However, taking some time out during the heat of the afternoon is often just the ticket to helping everyone make the most of their park days.…

Is Disney World’s Pop Century Resort Worth It?
The “Magical or Tragical” series offers up my group’s opinion on some of the offerings at Disney World. Pros and Cons, Dustless Pixie-style. In the past, my group has always stayed at Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts. We particularly like the “Epcot” or “boardwalk” resorts: Boardwalk Inn, Beach Club and Yacht Club. The price point, for us, was worth the convenience of being able to walk or boat to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Strolling in and out of the much less crowded International Gateway entrance at Epcot made it easier to take full advantage of our Park Hopper tickets. On our last trip to the parks, we decided to test…

Is Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Worth It?
The “Magical or Tragical” series offers up my group’s opinion on some of the offerings at Disney World. Pros and Cons, Dustless Pixie-style. 9/6/2022 Update: Since this review was posted, Sebastian’s has switched to a family-style prix fixe menu with some a la carte additions. While it is still one of the best dining values on property, we preferred the original menu and the choices it offered. Most of the food is from that menu but not all of the entrees or desserts. That being said, it is ALL delicious and at a great price point. We’re not discouraging anyone from going there by any means. It’s easy to get…

Is Garden Grill’s Character Breakfast Worth It?
The “Magical or Tragical” series offers up my group’s opinion on some of the offerings at Disney World. Pros and Cons, Dustless Pixie-style. Unlike Epcot’s World Showcase area, Future World doesn’t have as many tasty places to have a sit down meal. There are only two Table Service restaurants in Epcot‘s Future World. (A new space themed restaurant is slated to open next to “Mission Space” which will bring the total to three). With the “Electric Umbrella” closing soon, Quick Service dining, with ample seating, is dwindling down to just “Sunshine Seasons”. The remainder of dining locations are just a handful of snack carts. Recently, we found ourselves planning an…
