    Christmas Dooney and Bourke

    I was walking around DS this AM and saw a long line outside of the Co-op building. Sure enough, when I went in later on there were people inside all lined up for these bags all of the way out the door. They are cute!

    H1B visa program & Disney..- eye opening article affecting many companies.

    My husband is IT in Orlando. He works in the Disney corporate office in Celebration. Your response sounds very flippant and insulting to anyone just trying to make a living. As far as I ( A human living in the Orlando community) know.

    Give me your best date night ideas!

    He eats no meat at all, so he is used to going for the potatoes and cheese options. I am a total food junkie and love everything from funnel cakes to escargot. Small plates are great because you get to sample everything, it tends to take way less time, and there is a lot less pomp involved in...

    Give me your best date night ideas!

    My husband and I are Disneyphiles living in Orlando, so our best times are always in the World. We are planning a night out at the Polynesian to visit Trader Sams and watch the fire works, but we need to eat first! We love appetizers as a meal but he doesn't eat meat, and everything on the...

    Adventures with Drunk Uncle...or, Just Another Day in the World.

    Hi everyone! Now that my family is residing in the beautiful city of Orlando, Fl-we can go to Disney all of the time! So my trip reports will be more of observations made on our (honestly more often than any sane person should go) visits. Today was my day off, so the DH and I took one of the...

    Haha, I never knew the difference between the types of Spanish before moving here! I am now becoming quite in love with Cuban and Puerto Rican food! SO good! There is a great Asian strip on rt 17/92 but there is a lot of Fusion cuisine. Takocheena is a place that has awesome Mexican Chinese fusion!

    It is funny, I left work yesterday and thought it felt so perfect and cool outside. When I got into the car, my thermometer told me that it was 80 degrees! I think my inner temp meter has already been changed! 80 degrees used to feel like swimming weather to me!

    I love your user name! We pulled into a SuperTarget upon arriving to our new neighborhood and my three year old started yelling in the parking lot; "MOM!!! There are palm trees here! LOOK! Palm Trees!!" Three months later,he still says it sometimes when we go outside.. :rotfl:

    We moved to Orlando! Three months in.

    It is funny- I know that I say don't move for Disney- but what makes Orlando special is the "Disney affect" that made us want to live here! So many factors in Orlando are influenced by tourism and the people who want to exude the "Walt Life", so to speak. We still haven't set foot on park...

    If Hollywood Studios went back to its roots..

    Oh, im talking a Pixar studios in Orlando! Traditional Disney is probably 30 percent of the company now. Between Starwars Land and Pixar Studios expansion, HWS could really be a force. No pun intended, lol.

    If Hollywood Studios went back to its roots..

    Wouldn't it be great if animation was actually brought back to HWS? Everyone talks about the potential HWS has as far as rides, but it is quickly losing what makes it stand out as a park. Sure, HWS really needs some new stuff, but bring it back to what it was built for. Im sure there are good...

    We moved to Orlando! Three months in.

    Your list sounds a lot like ours did! We looked at the entire U.S. and crossed off states based on proximity to the Ocean, home affordability, recreation, how likely family was to visit us... My husband is a country mouse and I am a city mouse. I don't think you could find a better place for my...

    We moved to Orlando! Three months in.

    We came from the east coast of MD. Unless we were headed to the beach- I stay inside all summer! We have been surprised that we have been outside more this summer (in Florida) than we were in MD. After we discovered the natural springs, we were hooked. The springs stay cold year round (72...

    We moved to Orlando! Three months in.

    We moved to an area called Waterford Lakes. It is a collection of neighborhoods in the northeast side of Orlando. We originally looked at a place called Avalon Park, but Waterford Lakes is much more wooded and has more of an established feel. Both neighborhoods are connected and we would...
