Dining Review: Citricos
Citricos at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa: On our last visit down to Disney, Ben and I enjoyed our first dinner at Citricos at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and it was magnificent! Since we visited the last week of November, everything was decked out for the holidays, so a trip these days would be a bit different, but I’ve got a feeling the quality would be just as exemplary…

Disney Vacation Club – The Basics Part 3
Part 3 of my DVC breakdown covers the odds and ends that I think are important to know about DVC. I cover some DVC facts beyond “use DVC for Disney vacations” (non-Disney park vacation uses for DVC points, the resale market, and renting DVC points) and list some points to think about when deciding if DVC is right for you. There’s a lot to cover (this is the longest part), so let’s dive in! I know I said this in both Parts 1 and 2, but it’s worth repeating: I do not work for Disney or DVC and that I am not at all being paid for or given perks…

Disney Vacation Club – The Basics Part 2
In Part 2 of my DVC informational series, I attempt to shed some light on some of the bonuses that come with DVC membership and share some basic information on the financing options that were available when I became a member in 2017. Let me reiterate that I do not work for Disney or DVC and that I am not at all being paid for or given perks for writing this post. This is a safe space where you’ll get only my personal opinion and experiences. Questions are welcomed and encouraged, but if you’re looking to actually buy into DVC, you should speak with somebody who is qualified (licensed?) to…

Disney Vacation Club – The Basics Part 1
Disney Vacation Club, or “DVC,” is a Disney-specific timeshare program that is often seen as an enigma. The points system, financing options, and the contract can all be very overwhelming and seem daunting in their own right, let alone combined. I hope, through this article, to be able to shed some light on something that I think can be a great investment — something I’ve invested in personally. Let me start by saying that I do not work for Disney or DVC and that I am not at all being paid for or given perks for writing this post. This is a safe space where you’ll get only my personal…

Kim’s Top 5 – Magic Kingdom Edition
You’re not supposed to pick a favorite child, and it feels equally wrong to pick a favorite attraction, but this is a place where tough choices are made. Previously, I’ve ranked my top five attractions across ALL parks (which was torture), but I want to spend some time in each park, because there’s no reason to rush. Also, I’m not emotionally ready to re-evaluate my top five attractions across all four parks. It hurt….it really hurt. First stop on this journey — Magic Kingdom!

Disneybounding for Beginners
Before the summer of 2016, “Disneybound” meant “going to Disney!” – wonderful in its own right, don’t get me wrong, but now, “Disneybound” means so. much. more. My adventure into Disney bounding all started with an innocent-enough venture into the Disney realms of Pinterest. (Ever want to lose a few hours in what feels like 5 minutes? Jump down that rabbit hole.) For a quicker introduction to Disneybounding, just keep reading. I’ll tell you everything you need to know to get started!
