    What would be your plan for ONE day at Disney??

    I used to do this on my days off when on the college program. I'd start off in DAK, hit up Everest and kilimanjaro safaris, somewhere in between grab some breakfast. Then make my way over to Studios for Great Movie Ride, Star Tours and Muppets, and if I could squeeze it in the Backlot Tour...

    What am I missing but not shopping in the countries at Epcot?

    The Epcot World Showcase is always high on my disney to-do list. The shopping is pretty wonderful, not to mention the food, but the cultural value behind it is immeasurable.

    Mixed baby popcorn rice - help

    If you boil popcorn, nothing really happens. It slightly softens, kinda like boiling dried beans. If you boil them in a pressure cooker, the soften more so (and faster) than in a regular pot. Tried this late last year when I was trying to recreate the popcorn soup from the DCL. The reason...

    weather advice needed

    I'll be heading up to disney around the same time, and have been doing so for as long as I remember (birthday trip!).

    Lesser Known Attractions

    This is going to sound completely random, but the last few trips, we have taken to people watching. Our last trip, we camped out in Adventureland, near the Jungle Cruise, had ourselves some ice cream and had a running commentary on fellow guests as they walked by. Mostly we were surprised at the...

    You think it's cold where you are?

    Sending warm thoughts to everyone up north. It was in the low 80s today, but still felt like it was in the 90s. Sometimes I do enjoy living in Miami :) Anyways, winter is almost done (is it? We have no seasons down here, just wet and dry), and the summer months are soon upon us (I think...) ;)

    I'm a Cellist and the only time I've ever practice my cello in a hotel room is either right before a performance or an audition. Never have I taken it on a vacation, but I have taken my music. If the violin teacher really wants your child to practice, then just take the sheet music and have...
