Disney World – Magic Kingdom – Cinderella’s Royal Table
There are certain dining experiences that define where you vacation. You can’t go to Italy without eating some pasta. You can’t go to England without seeing Big Ben. You can’t visit Colorado without at least looking at a mountain. You get the gist. Thus, Disney brings forth the quintessential dining experience – Cinderella’s Magic Table.…

My First Time at Disney – part 2
Part 1 When I signed up for our day at Disney I expected it to be mildly busy. We went in late October on a Tuesday. Which meant, for this Halloween fanatic, a wonderfully Halloween-themed park and not that many people! NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM Meaning, all of my fast passes…

Universal Studios (the 1990 classic)
2019 has been my year of theme parks. I revisited a childhood favorite, added a new one, and revisited an adult favorite.

Disney Planning – How to Plan

Disney Planning – Getting Started
I have never been to a Disney Park. A weird admission from a travel and media geek like myself. See my parents didn’t really love theme parks. I don’t think my dad went to a single one with us as kids. And the biggest theme park I had been to before 2015 (I was 24)…

Your Local Theme Park is as Good as you Remember
Many times we are reminded that theme parks are for kids. They are money sucks of candy and cartoons and memorable characters and wild rides that make many adults queasy. We are reminded to take our kids to this and that so they have fun and memories and pictures. But I say, hold up, theme…

Which means we are going to be trying to make the most of the vacation, family time, and sightseeing in one giant Robinson Wedding Week. As you can imagine, trying to organize…
