Since I spent most of this WDW trip in a conference, I won’t be doing a traditional trip report, but I definitely still have a lot of stuff to tell you about that will be loosely collected under the July 2018 trip keyword. Read on! Hello from Orlando International Airport! My flight took off three minutes ago. Haha, just kidding! It...

Since I spent most of this WDW trip in a conference in the Swolphin, I won’t be doing a traditional trip report, but I definitely still have a lot of stuff to tell you about that will be loosely collected under the July 2018 trip keyword. Read on! Hello! I am in Walt Disney World! RIGHT NOW! I’m conferencing at...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Is All About That DAK Area Background Music
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, say! Jenn hasn’t mentioned anything about what Disney background music she’s been listening to lately. It’s cool. I saw you coming. Here’s how I’ve been easing the pangs of WDW homesickness: You saw my news about staying at Kidani Village, right? When you stay at a new resort, it’s important to prepare yourself....

Not to make you jealous or anything, but I have three Walt Disney World trips on the docket within the next seven months. No, honest, I’m not trying to make you jealous! ‘Cause, listen: I don’t plan to spend much time in the parks. Which is sort of silly – isn’t this exactly the sort of thing Annual Pass dreams...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Goes DVC…ish
Like I said a couple weeks ago: it’s gotten hard to book a room at Disney, let alone find one at a discount rate. This was making me antsy for marathon weekend. Generally I would stay at Pop Century as per usual, but what would Disney charge this time around? Wine & Dine weekend room costs are definitely not...

Hot damn, you guys. Can we take a second to talk about how near impossible it’s gotten to book a room in a Walt Disney World hotel room in a reasonable time frame? I’ve talked about some of my odd room reservation experiences before, and I’ve learned a lot from them. Primarily, I’ve learned to book a room the SECOND you so much...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn Goes On All-Star Runs
It’s trip report time! You can see all the posts in this report here. In a Walt Disney World trip diaspora dominated by races, there’s not usually a ton of room for training runs. When you’re pounding out a half or even a full marathon (or both and more!) you don’t exactly want to pile it on. And so when...
Continue readingThe Fairest Week In Review: 11/21
Normally in a week in review post I do my exercise stuff first and my Disney and life stuff second, but screw the boring stuff because I HAVE DISNEY NEWS. Y’know how I’ve been kvetching basically since I made the reservation about my room in Caribbean Beach for my upcoming WDW trip? There’s the construction, of course, which means weird food options...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn & Pat Are Done With Port Orleans Riverside
The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! Pat and I have now stayed at Port Orleans Riverside twice. We are unlikely to do so again. Oh, I’m being histrionic – but the gist...
Continue readingThe Last WDW Resort Room I Ever Wanted…
And now for another story about how booking a WDW resort room can be unnecessarily confusing. But we persevere. A WDW RESORT DISCOUNT CODE (BUT NOT FOR ME) A couple weeks ago I scored the big one: an email from Disney containing a unique offer code that would net me a discount on Walt Disney World resort rooms. Sweet!...
