Rediscover Your Inner Child in Fantasyland

2023-10-04T18:11:36-04:00March 23, 2017|Disney World|

There are many reasons I love Walt Disney World. Probably one of the biggest reasons is it gives our family an opportunity to escape from the troubles of the real world even if just for a few days. The “Disney Bubble” as we call it refreshes and renews us and gives us much needed down time from reality. As a travel planner I’m often asked if families with older children should allow time to visit Fantasyland. My answer every single time is – YES! Tucked away in back of Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom this particular land embodies the [...]

L’Artisan des Glaces at Epcot

2023-10-04T18:07:03-04:00February 2, 2017|Epcot|

L'Artisan des Glaces is a French ice cream shop found at the France pavilion in EPCOT at Walt Disney World. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the world showcase, but is not to be missed! Choose from 16 flavors, single or double scoop, in a cone or cup for a cool treat on a hot day. This shop didn’t open until noon the day I visited, but it was well worth the wait. Not only can you get ice cream here, but there is sorbet, macaroon ice cream sandwiches, and the very popular ice cream martini. [...]
