I’ve never really loved Halloween.  Sure, when I was a kid, I went door to door in my suburban neighborhood trick or treating for candy and loved it.  I always struggled with creating a costume because I’m just not that creative.  My mom is so she helped a lot.  Fast forward to when my own kids were in elementary school – yes, I dressed them up as well and we went on a hunt for the best candy.  But, it was in those years that I became a little wary of those handing out the candy.  Was it safe for [...]

2019-07-14T18:41:47-04:00July 14, 2019|Disney Travel, Disney World|

Nothing is worse than the trip home after the most amazing vacation ever! Everyone is tired (ok fine...grumpy) from a week of fun and slightly sad (devastated) because it’s over. No one wants to sit around the airport waiting for a flight.  After our most recent Disney Cruise, we arrived at the airport at 9:30 am and didn’t board our plane home until 4:40 pm!  Here are my favorite tips for a fighting chance at a smooth waiting period when everyone just wants to be home.....yesterday.  A backpack for each traveler (mom and dad shouldn’t be the only pack mules) [...]

Savi’s Workshop

2023-10-06T22:33:56-04:00June 13, 2019|Hollywood Studios|

Savi’s Workshop is a little bit hard to find.  Since the Black Spire Outpost is under the protection of the First Order, the Resistance and Force sensitive beings have to remain hidden and out of sight.  The only way to find the shop is by looking for the Blue Lightsaber Banner outside the store.                                 Savi is very important to the Force, and was one of the original Gatherers.  The Gatherers are a group of people who have dedicated their lives to restoring balance in [...]

Exploring a new destination, new world or new Galaxy and immersing yourself in the culture of its citizens is an immensely rewarding experience. But it can be even more rewarding if we take care to observe the customs of the places we visit. And visiting Batuu is no different:  the locals are essentially hosting you on their home Planet! Here are 5 pointers that I picked up on my recent travels to the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu! First of all, the people of Batuu are Batuuans and they speak Batuuese.  It sounds very similar to English; [...]
