There is something unfathomable about the fulfillment of a dream. I have spent so many years dreaming of wearing a real wedding gown; of standing on the beach of Disney’s Polynesian Resort sharing vows, that when the time was close at hand, I almost couldn’t comprehend it. Why do dreams seem as…
My three previous trips to Walt Disney World as an adult have been planned completely by myself with the exception of my foodie husband usually picking out the places in which we will dine. For this year’s trip, I got the added bonus of my son being old enough to have a lot to say…

Kona Café is located on the second floor of the Polynesian Resort in the Great Ceremonial House. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On our visit we experienced a delightful breakfast service. I ordered the famous Tonga Toast with bacon (10.99) which consists of sourdough bread filled with warm bananas and covered in a…
“Did you see what’s in the bag?” Traci asks me excitedly as soon as I rejoin my fellow NDMs and children in the refreshment half of the Hospitality Suite. “No,” I confess, “I just got mine.” Jackie gushes, “Oh my gosh! Just wait until you see what is inside. It is unbelievable!” Jen agrees that…
