We recently returned from another fantastic family vacation at Walt Disney World Resort. My husband and I were even able to squeeze in a date night! Thanks to the Children’s Activity Centers at located across the resort, we were able to enjoy some adult time while the kids were having a ton of fun! The…
Feb 28 (29), 2012 Couple of things – happy birthday to me and happy one more Disney day to you! I can’t believe I am writing this from 35k feet and didn’t extend my trip one day so I could be part of the “magic” … but I trust there will be plenty of pictures…
If you enjoy hang gliders, oranges, and pine trees, then this is the perfect attraction for you! I am speaking of none other than Soarin’ which has become quite popular among the Disney community and our everyday vocabulary.
