Five New Things - An Ever Evolving Disney Bucket List

A couple of years ago I wrote a story about Creating A Personal Disney Bucket List, and most of the things on the list are still things that I want to do. However in between checking these major things off, I'm always creating mini lists on each and every vacation. These mini-lists are why I can tell people with confidence that yes - yes I am going back to Walt Disney World, and no - no I haven't seen everything there yet.

15 Disney Tips From A Cranky Cynic

My name is Geordon, and my wife is a Disney-a-holic. It's not that I didn't know this when we got married, I just wasn't quite aware of the place it would take in our lives. I was in no way, shape, or form a Disney fan. My parents had taken me once as a teenager and that was quite enough. However - over the 17 years that my wife has dragged me on her annual "pilgrimage" to Walt Disney World, I've come to respect her love for all things Disney and the work she puts into making sure everyone gets the vacation they want.

The Best Things About Epcot’s Norway Pavilion

The Norway pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase has long been one of my favorite pavilions, and not just because it used to be home to Maelstrom. I love the pavilion for several other reasons and even now that Maelstrom has been replaced by all things Frozen the pavilion still holds a special place in my Disney heart.

Ah, breakfast. They say it's the most important meal of the day and when you're at Walt Disney World fueling up for a day at the parks, you better eat your Wheaties.
