For our final meal at Walt Disney World, we had early morning reservations at Topolino's Terrace, which was our only character meal on this trip and we were excited to try a restaurant we had only heard rave reviews about. Reservations weren't too difficult to snag here, but we did book 180+ days out. I'm … Continue reading Buongiorno: Breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace (REVIEW)
Disney's Riviera Resort BLEW us away in how beautiful the new property is. The featured image above was taken during our breakfast at Topolino's Terrace, but I don't think it adequately captures our jaw-dropping reaction to the hotel. As Disney Vacation Club members, we were lucky enough to snag a reservation at Riviera from December … Continue reading Our Stay at Disney’s Riviera

We (finally) planned ahead and decided to book our Christmas break vacation in June, so we had plenty of time to book dining and FastPass+ reservations...however, we waited … Continue reading DVC: Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village
Did 'Ohana live up to the hype?? Here's our MickeyShus Restaurant Review! Surprisingly, 'Ohana was never on our radar prior to our last trip to Disney - despite following multiple blogs and talking to other Disney families - no one had ever mentioned it (probably didn't want us competing for a reservation!). After our last … Continue reading MickeyShus Review: ‘Ohana
As a young child, Epcot was my was least favorite Disney park. Walking from one showcase to another was boring and my feet felt as if I'd literally walked the length of the world. While I must say Epcot isn't my favorite park by any means, I have a greater appreciation for what it brings to the … Continue reading Game Plan: Epcot
With how much planning and thought that goes into a Disney vacation, I can't believe how quickly it actually flies.
