Dinner at Cape May Cafe Restaurant

2015-09-16T06:00:00-04:00September 16, 2015|Disney World, Epcot|

I grew up spending summers on the Jersey Shore. One of my favorite meals down at the shore was an old fashioned clam bake. Now that I live in Texas I don’t get to enjoy clams or clam bakes very often so when I head to Walt Disney World the clam bake dinner at Cape May Café is on my list every time! Cape May Café (named after Cape May, New Jersey) is located at the Beach Club Resort. This makes it a convenient option for a dinner when visiting Epcot or Hollywood Studios. It’s just a short walk from [...]

6 Tips for Documenting Your Disney Trip

2014-06-04T07:00:00-04:00June 4, 2014|Disney World|

Attention photography enthusiasts and family memory keepers. I have compiled my favorite tips for documenting your awesome Disney vacation! 1. Snap, snap, snap! In the age of digital cameras you can never ever take too many photographs. My photography mantra is “splurge now, purge later.” 2. Take notes. I know, I know, how is that fun? It doesn’t have to be intensive or time consuming. A few sentences about the highlights of the day or a funny or extra memorable event will do. Write things down? What? With a pen? You do NOT have to actually physically write anything down. [...]
