Anniversaries, Magic Candles and Bricks!

On June 17th, my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. Originally, we’d said “No Gifts” because we were trying to save for our next Disney trip. Earlier this week, I’d seen some pretty cool Disney games at Branes and Nobles, and I wanted to get her one of those but didn’t. She surprised … Read more

A Unique Situation!

We have a bit of a unique situation coming up in July. On July 7th, we will be leaving Marco Island, Fl and heading to Disney World. We’re going to stay at Pop Century and we’re going to be going to Animal Kingdom that day (July 7th). So, just to clear things up here is … Read more

Anticipation!

As mentioned, we just got back from our latest trip (arrived 2/25 with Park Days 2/26 through 3/1, Ohana on 3/2 and then home that day). We booked that trip 3/21 of 2021 and I was excited but not overly excited. I was stressing about paying for the trip and hoping that we didn’t have … Read more

I Built a Lightsaber!

We had already spent almost 2 hours in Slinky Dog’s line (Genie+ issues on our part), so we were a bit tired of standing. We sat down for about 30 minutes to rest right outside of Savi’s and … Read more

What’s in the Bag?

Do you bring a bag into the parks? I tend to people watch when I’m there and I’ve noticed the majority of people have book sacks or some sort of bag. I saw one guy with a full sized hiking pack! I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea, this is not a “You … Read more

February 2022 Trip Recap

We got back on 3/2 from our trip. We spent 4 days in the parks from 2/26 to 3/1. Saturday 2/26 was Animal Kingdom. It was packed. I specifically remember crossing the bridge into Africa and seeing nothing but a sea of people. All in all though, we were able to rope drop Flight of … Read more
