We’ve planned a pretty busy schedule for this year’s Epcot Food & Wine Festival (for more details check allearsnet here, disney food blog here, and disney world’s website here). And this doesn’t include all of the Eat to the Beat concerts we want to attend!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios The first thing we noticed as we drove backstage on the big cruise bus – backstage is “finished” – it looks like a hollywood studio – with good reason, it used to be a working studio. Our first stop continue reading Our Backstage Magic Tour – Part 2 … (originally posted on FrugalDinks May.12.2010) Yesterday, we took the Backstage Magic Tour; this tour was focused on the four WDW theme parks and provided a glimpse of what goes on backstage to create the magic we all enjoy.

Thankfully, they were closely matched to our skill level (little or none) and we all agreed to have fun and NOT keep score. The weather was lovely, our companions quite nice, continue reading Golf & Lunch … We had a rather nice Sunday a couple of weeks ago – it wasn’t March-in-Orlando-nice, but it was better than it has been this winter – Nick told me to pick what we were going to do outside, because there was no way we were going to waste the day by sitting inside <grin>. continue reading Miniature Golf – Sand Course @ Winter Summerland … The day after we played at the Sand Course @ Winter Summerland, we went and played the Gardens Course at Fantasia Gardens. Another course we’d never played, another goofy golf course, and not as much fun or as interesting as the Sand Course. We did not get low scores on this course, however, we continue reading Miniature Golf – Gardens Course @ Fantasia Gardens, Dolphin & Swan Hotels … |
