Hi everybody! Excited about the upcoming Star Wars races in April, but not sure what all this stuff means? Between the Kessel Run, Rival Run, 10K, and Kids Races, what should you sign up for? There are a lot of decisions to make long before you ever lace up those...
As I laid in bed staring at the ceiling of our Disney World resort room, I remember thinking “I have not gone to sleep at 9:00 p.m. in a really long time.” As a self-proclaimed, night owl, 9:00 p.m. was about 3 hours earlier than my norm, however there I lay pondering...
Those of you who've read earlier posts have undoubtedly picked up on the fact that when it comes to bringing Disney home, food and coffee are two of my favorite things to write about (and enjoy). Joffrey's coffee recently announced a new "Mickey's 90th Anniversary...

This year over fall break we took a four-day trip to Walt Disney World and our daughter brought a friend. This was our first experience with taking a child outside our family to WDW, and we learned some things along the way that I hope will be helpful for anyone else...
“God Bless Us, Every One!” -Tiny Tim (Image from IMDB) Even though it debuted in 1983, each year I’m surprised at how many people—even Disney fans—still haven’t seen Mickey’s Christmas Carol. Watching this classic short has become an annual tradition at our house, and...
