The Epcot Flower & Garden Festival food booth menus have been released AND – for the first time – I will be there to sample them. Oh, yes. Yes I will. You see, Epcot has Evening Extra Magic Hours the night after the Dark Side Half. I have PLANS. Do they involve taking a nap? Probably not. Do they...

I know what you’re thinking: Jenn, since when are you a Democratic Republican?* Generally never. Well, I always consult with my traveling companions before I make WDW-related travel plans, but I certainly have the final word when the only traveler is me. WHICH WDW RESORT? Nonetheless I found myself somewhat perplexed when attempting to select a resort for the...

TOMORROW. Tomorrow morning I land in Orlando and my long weekend in Walt Disney World begins! I’m not sure how well the Wine & Dine Half Marathon can be expected to go, but I haven’t run at ALL this week so hopefully my muscles have bounced back? A bit? Maybe?

Girls, we’ve got it rough. We know this. Our pockets are useless. Hey, baggy cargo pants can be a cute look.

It’s cool, though; that’s why God invented the purse, right? Unfortunately, some...

I’ve been pretty homesick for Walt Disney World lately – you know, the sort of homesick where you look through photo albums and listen to park background music (Innoventions FTW!) and weep silently to yourself because you’re not in WDW right now and won’t be again for months. There is but one cure for this affliction: standing in the...

I’m afraid I’m going to have to once again ask you to forget everything I said previously. So you know how when I signed up for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon I said that either my mom or my boyfriend would go with me? Well, it was leaning toward Pat going, but he’s not sure he’s going to...

Hey, remember that time I helped my boss plan her Walt Disney World vacation? And she invented WWJGD? Well, she’s tragically not my boss anymore, but I did have breakfast with her last week and she brought me back a present from the trip! How awesome is this travel mug? I love the Mary Blair-esque design. I don’t generally...
