I just don’t know, guys. Should I buy a WDW annual pass? The facts, as they say, are these. Yes, thank you. Disney is currently offering 13 month APs if you buy by January. I currently have three WDW trips on the docket: November for the Wine & Dine, January for the WDW Marathon, and April for the Dark...

Girls, we’ve got it rough. We know this. Our pockets are useless. Hey, baggy cargo pants can be a cute look. But it’s not how we want to live our lives, and it’s definitely not always how we want to swan around an (often sweltering) amusement park. It’s cool, though; that’s why God invented the purse, right? Unfortunately, some...

I love the Mary Blair-esque design. I don’t generally...

JENN: My goal is to have the race done in time that we can shower and change before Disneyland opens! We’re in corral B, so it could happen. BUT they’re also offering post-race massages for $1 a...

If you’re reading this… then I’m on my way! Yes, I’m hitting the “publish” button on this post, grabbing my bags, and heading for the airport. IT’S WALT DISNEY WORLD TIME. This is the fabled trip I’ve only being counting down to for like a billion years. And it really does feel like that, because my mom and I...

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...

Step 1: Pack your Ruffian. Hi there! In preparation for my December trip (21 DAYS), I recently sent my mother my go-to Disney packing list. This list was first compiled in 2008, and in the ensuing years I have tweaked, modified, and streamlined it for greater effectiveness. With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to share!...
