I'll admit it; I'm having a rough time writing this week. The day-to-day world is not a nice place, and Orlando, Florida has had much more than its share of tragedy for the time. Yesterday, I called my boss to ask how I was supposed to write happy Walt Disney World stories amidst all the pain and horror the past week has held. In a calm and reassuring way, I was told that it was all right for me to take time to grieve, but reminded that the world still needs magic.

I have something to admit: I think I might love caramel more than I love chocolate. There's something about that ooey gooey sweet goodness that comes from a caramel treat and I just can't get enough. Of course, if that caramel treat is coated in chocolate it's even better.

It's no secret, Disney's Hollywood Studios is undergoing some major construction with many previous Guest areas closed down and blocked off to make wake for new adventures. Construction - Disney fan has a love/hate relationship with it.
