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!).

It was originally opened in August 1997, boasting a blend of Spanish, Mexican, [...]

There are three great things about eating the breakfast buffet at Disneyland Park’s Plaza Inn. There is great history in the restaurant, delicious food, and delightful characters for you to meet.

Five fabulous things about New York City

admin2014-10-30T10:11:39-05:00

There are so many beautiful places to travel in the US. There are beautiful sunsets and mountains. There are great hiking trails and oceans in which to swim.

Covering more than 500 acres with 250 different species and 1,700 animals, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is by size the largest park of the four that make up Disney World. Although it doesn’t have as many attractions as the other parks it more than makes up it for with animals. While it does have a few rides with height restrictions, many of the attractions here have none making it the perfect park for toddlers and it’s a bonus to me that [...]
