No matter where the destination, one essential tool for each Disney vacation is something for your favorite characters to sign. While the gift stores offer many standard autograph books, I found myself trying to think of something different so we didn’t have an entire shelf devoted to them.

Have you ever wished you could dine in a castle? Cinderella’s Royal Table offers a picturesque backdrop, your favorite Disney princesses and an excellent meal all in one.

Cinderella’s Royal Table just underwent a refurbishment complete with a new menu so on my most recent trip I decided we needed to check it out. I must admit I am not a morning person at all, but there [...]
