Ogas Cantina Review
I have dreamed of visiting one of the Galaxy’s famed cantinas, and Oga definitely brings this one to life for me! The cantina was a welcome rest stop from my weary travels on the outer rim! And I have lots of information to pass on! Oga’s Cantina is a bar, and of course a bar at the edge of the galaxy would have some bold musical entertainment! R-3X, a former Starspeeder 3000 pilot, is your DJ here at Oga’s Cantina, and he is constantly mixing up some great beats! It is good to note that the music is loud and [...]

Shadow Silhouettes
When someone mentions “Disneyland” or “Walt Disney World,” what’s the first thing that pops into your head? The price? Mickey Mouse? The castle? For me, it’s 2 things... churros and Mickey Mouse ears. Random, I know, but is there anything cuter than a little kid eating a churro while wearing their Mickey Mouse ears? The first time I went to Disney was as an adult, and let me tell you, my head is too big for their cute ear headbands and Mickey ears. This was devastating as I had always wanted them. Seeing that I was Queen of Hearts head [...]

A Review of the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Villains After Hours event at Magic Kingdom (so much fun!). While planning for the last minute trip, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to stay at the newly opened Gran Destino Tower located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. For those not familiar, Coronado Springs falls into the moderate resort category and is located in the Animal Kingdom resort area. It was originally opened in August 1997, boasting a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and American Southwest cultures. After living in New Mexico for six years, I can say the theming of the main [...]
