One of our favorite going-home rituals of Disney World is to stop at Downtown Disney and do some shopping. A little stop at World of Disney, some Christmas ornament shopping at Disney’s Days of Christmas, and yes, a stop at Goofy’s Candy Co. Display cases full of yummy goodness like caramel Mickey apples, rice crispy […]
Here is something really funny: I was testing out a new password-protected part of the site and made this post as a test. Well, let’s just say it was late at night and I forgot to remove the yada yada post. I wake up to find someone had +1’d it! How funny is that?!? Now I […]

One of the questions I always get in the travel planning process, especially for first-time-by-flight arrivals is “How does Magical Express work?” Well, it’s actually… pretty magical! At the airport: Plan A: Before you leave home, take your bright yellow luggage tags and wrap one around each checked piece. If you are only taking carry-ons, […]
I admit it; I’m a photaholic. I take HUNDREDS of pictures on our Disney trips, especially those trips we took earlier on. Now, we highlight/photograph new experiences, but I’m also taking hundreds of photos for chronicling events via blog posts, and including unique angles, as well as those new experiences. Thousands of pictures later… well… […]
It’s no secret that Florida weather is hot, day in and day out. It’s also no secret that Be Our Guest is the most popular restaurant in Magic Kingdom (and arguably, Walt Disney World). Its reservation-only dinner service combined with quick-service lunch make it appealing to everyone on the dining plan. (Not to mention the […]
One of my favorite newly constructed themed areas is the Rapunzel themed area in New Fantasyland inside the Magic Kingdom. The tower itself has been up for awhile, peeking out from atop the construction wall. When it was revealed, guests literally were immersed in the Tangled village, dancing among the lanterned village “shops”. When I […]
I love how the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride is coming right along. We’re slightly ahead of schedule, which (fingers crossed) maybe means we could open before originally projected dates? On time, yes. But early? How fun would that be? Here are the latest pictures, taken from just in front of Beast’s Castle, The peek-through […]
About the snack: One word: Yummmmm! These little bites of yummy goodness are basically a bite full of sweet creamed corn, battered and deep fried to a golden brown. They’re pulled out fresh and piping hot, then dusted with sugar. I know what you’re thinking… Ewww (because that’s what I thought too!) but they’re quite […]
My family almost always drives to and from Disney, reserving air travel for quick trips only. That said, not having to catch a flight means we have a great deal of flexibility when it comes to our departure day breakfasts and try to mix it up to keep informed for our travel clients. We love […]
During the 18th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, Sept. 27 – Nov. 11, 2013, Disney chefs will debut authentic tastes of Scotland at the 46-day festival.

On a recent trip to Disney World, we had just checked out and were on our way back home. As usual, a quick trip to Goofy’s Candy Store in Downtown Disney was in order. So how do you get to Downtown Disney while in Disney World? Evidently, Apple Maps thinks we should take the scenic […]
