Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and the fact that My Disney Experience is a glitchy, glitchy, GLITCHY app. I recently shared a dining reservation hack for when eligible dining reservation dates aren’t showing up properly, and today I’ve got another one for you! Are you planning a Walt Disney World vacation with a group that spans multiple parties?...

A stress dream about runDisney? Sure, done it a bunch. A stress dream about Disney dining reservations? Now we’re building on the medium! Let’s back up a moment. I am currently helping Pat’s family plan a WDW trip, and as the acknowledged Disney oracle of the group, I am more or less running the show. This is great, because...

I’ve been pondering this for some time now, but I think it may have finally happened: has a Walt Disney World vacation become too complicated for the average vacationer? Before you answer, consider: you’re reading a largely Disney parks-focused blog right now, and a pretty niche one at that. I suppose you could be here exclusively for my sparkling...

Okay, let’s pretend for a moment you’re me. (I’m sorry.) You are going to Walt Disney World, theoretically and vaccines willing, in April. Your travel buddy is on top of the vast majority of dining reservations, but just to be safe you have been given one, and only one job: secure the ADR for Oga’s Cantina. Mission date: February...

I’ve got a theory. Wrong! Wrong again! It’s about FastPass+. It may make you uncomfortable. But if you hear me out, you may have an effective new strategy on your hands.

Me, I more or less slapped some schmatta on the wall with push pins and called it done. Okay, so it’s not the most...

You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, did you? If you haven’t been following my Magic Band drama, let me sum up, Inigo Montoya-style: I tried to put “Pork Butt” on my Magic Band and Disney wasn’t having it. (Read the full story here to get the scoop on how I found out, who I talked to, and why “butt”...

OH MY GOD, GUYS. I simply must tell you about what happened to me a couple days ago. It is Walt Disney World roller coaster ride… OF THE MIND. THE SETUP On Wednesday afternoon I get a voicemail from an unknown Greensboro, NC number from someone purporting to be calling on behalf of Walt Disney World. They claim they...

Yes, I’m back from Walt Disney World. 🙁 Trip/race reports forthcoming, of course, but first I’m knocking out this month’s Kill/Refurb/Marry – for the last time. :/ The infrastructure on the blog hop has changed so much that I can completely understand why it’s ending, but I’m bummed; it was nice to have it in the monthly post rotation. Ah well....

My now sadly former boss is planning a Walt Disney World vacation for her extended family, and I have, as is my wont, been offering advice every step of the way. I assisted in her resort selection, her dining reservations, and lately she’s been sending me emails asking about My Disney Experience. I have now gone through two rounds...
