Staying on property at Disney World adds a whole other level to your trip. There is a Disney hotel for every budget and taste. One of the more popular resorts is Pop Century Resort. It is a value resort, so it is relatively easy on the wallet. We stayed at Pop Century a few years ago on Boston's first trip. This is my review of Pop Century Resort. Location Pop Century Resort is located fairly close to Hollywood Studios and the Wide World of Sports Complex. This means that it is a ... VIEW POST

Review of Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory
Port Orleans French Quarter Resort is one of our favorite places to stay at Disney World. We have stayed here a couple times. We just love it! The food court at French Quarter is called the Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory. This is my review of the very unique Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory. Theme/Decor You may be able to tell by the name that the Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory is themed after a New Orleans float company. The entire place looks like you ... VIEW POST
A Review of La Cantina de San Angel
Unlike the other parks, Epcot has a lot of places to eat. All of the World Showcase countries have at least one food service location. These vary greatly in setup, quality of food, and price. In Mexico, you will find La Cantina de San Angel, which is a quick-service restaurant. This is my review of La Cantina de San Angel. Theme/Decor La Cantina de San Angel is an open-air restaurant located at the edge of World Showcase Lagoon. All seating in the restaurant is located outdoors under a ... VIEW POST
A Review of ESPN Club’s VIP Experience
When my wife planned our Disney trip last year for Thanksgiving, my immediate concern was how I was going to view my beloved TCU Horned Frogs in their rivalry game against Baylor. We've rarely missed a TCU game over the past decade due to living in Ft. Worth and having season tickets. We have skipped births, family events, and even a couple of weddings that conflicted with Saturdays in Amon Carter Stadium. The TCU vs. Baylor rivalry has become heated over the past few seasons ...

Review of Earl of Sandwich
Many times, when something receives a lot of hype, it turns out to not be as good as advertised. For years, I heard other Disney fans rave about Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs. After I finally tried it, I realized that this is one time when it really does live up to the hype. Earl of Sandwich may be the best sandwich place I've ever eaten at in my life! This is my review of Earl of Sandwich. Theme/Decor Earl of Sandwich isn't much in the way of theme. It is a simple sandwich shop. ... VIEW POST

My Review of Hollywood & Vine
Hollywood & Vine is a table service restaurant in Hollywood Studios. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the past, Hollywood & Vine featured characters from Disney Jr. during breakfast and lunch with no characters at dinner. But, within the last year, this has changed. You will still find the Disney Jr. characters at breakfast and lunch, but dinner now features Minnie and friends. We have eaten here 3 different times over the years. This is my review of Hollywood & ... VIEW POST
My Review of Coral Reef
My husband's favorite part of being at Disney World is the table service restaurants. So, I always try to please him with our dining reservations. He loves seafood and eats it every chance he gets. I, on the other hand, hate seafood. Several years ago, while planning a trip for just the two of us, I considered booking Coral Reef for Chris. Once I realized they have a steak on the menu, I knew it was a good option for us, so I went with it. We enjoyed it so much that we have since been back ... VIEW POST

These lessons are as important as the academic ones because they are the ones that will help your kids survive into ... VIEW POST
