• Cool Disney Shopping

  I needed to check out some of the newest merchandise in the Disney shops to find some gifts for later in the year.  So today I stopped in at the Emporium on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom. I have such fond memories of that store and it's no surprise, I've been going there since 1971! While br...

• Catching Up at Rix

  Leave it to Disney to bring people together. Ok, I work there so I could be slightly biased.  I had the good fortune Saturday night to catch up with a former co-worker, actually 2 of them, from my days in the TV newsroom.  Michelle Stevens and her husband, Chris, attended a little event this week...

• A Grand Suite

  So Laura and I went to the Grand Floridian today to meet up with one of our wonderful Walt Disney World Moms Panelists - Jodi and her family. While we were there, we were lucky to run into David from the Grand Floridian who offered us a tour of the Grand Suite! The Grand Suite is the most luxuriou...

• Magical Moms at Disney

  I've spent the past 48 hours with an amazing group of mom bloggers at Walt Disney World Resort.  We started Friday evening and experienced a whirlwind tour of some of the magic Disney has to offer families.  I'm always a slightly nervous heading into these weekends. It goes back to the feelings w...

• A day at Disney World

  My long-time friend Mike was in town this week and we had the fun chance to hit the Disney parks on Saturday. We headed straight to the Magic Kingdom early in the morning then hopped over to Disney's Hollywood Studios in the afternoon. The weather was gorgeous! The crowds were manageable. And the fu...

• Tiger-errific

  Ever since I was a little girl I have adored tigers, in particular bengal tigers. I don't know how old I was, maybe 10 - 12 years old, I had a glow-in-the-dark velvet poster of a tiger hanging over my bed. Ah, those were the days. And - I ate Frosted Flakes for breakfast. (Please tell me you get the...

• Flower & Garden Festival

  The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival opened this Wednesday.  I wandered around World Showcase with my moms panel friends, Brigitta, her mom and daughter, Brooke; Laura, and my new Twitter friends Dawn and Bill.  It was my first "tweet-up".  Kinda cool!   Mickey must have pulled some strings to ...

• Free on Your Birthday at Disney Parks

  Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the first guest getting in free to a Disney Park on their birthday - part of the company's "What Will You Celebrate?" campaign for 2009. We had a wake-up call of 5:15am on New Year's Day - which meant no heavy partying on New Year's Eve, which actually wasn't...
