    Five of our Favorite Spots to grab a drink

    Best Spots to Get a Drink at Disney: We love Disney and we also love the cocktails of Disney.  We really enjoy taking our children to Disney but it’s also a great place for a date night, a weekend away, or a night out.  Here are a few of our favorite spots to grab a drink and relax. 5.  Jiko There is a little bar tucked away inside Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge that requires no reservation. Here, your bartender can concoct anything your heart desires. However, I recommend having a glass of wine. The Animal Kingdom  Lodge has the largest collection of African wines in the United States.  You…

    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…
