After a very long and very cold winter (for most of us) it seems that summer might finally be just around the corner and if you're traveling to Walt Disney World this summer that means it's going to be hot.

Checking In On Aloha Isle For A Dole Whip

I have, on more than one occasion, been called a Disney purist. So when Disney announced that my beloved Sunshine Tree Terrace was trading places with Aloha Isle in 2015, I was less than thrilled.

The Best Things I Ate At The 2016 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

Epcot's Annual Food & Wine Festival is a bastion of culinary delights, and I'm not alone in thinking that it's one of Disney's best events of the year.
