Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’d like to review a few of the safety guidelines before you enter the park. There will be no character greets of any kind. We’ve covered this, but it’s even worse here because the characters are dressed differently, and there’s...

It's all about getting the cake broken into really fine crumbs after it's baked. Once it is completely cooled you cut it into 4 even sections. Take 2 sections and rub them together over the bowl. That breaks it down into really fine pieces. Then do the next 2 sections. Then add the frosting...

You make a cake like normal and let it cool completely. Then you crumble it up into fine pieces in a big bowl. Add 1/2 to 3/4 of the can of frosting and mix well. http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-recipes/recipe-bakerella-866615-disney-bakerella-mickey-mouse-cake-pops-t/ That is the...

So, little sister and I went to the Magic Kingdom for a few hours. The Magic Kingdom late at night is my favorite spot of any of the parks. If I could transport myself to one-at the time and place of my choosing-that would always be it. Everything becomes softer at night. On Main Street...

I made my sister a cake pop bouquet for her birthday. Cake pops are cake and frosting mixed together, rolled into balls, and dipped in chocoate. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is her favorite cake--so I made a butter recipe yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting, then dipped in dark...

So, Day 1 in Walt Disney World, and at the Hollywood Studios, could have gone better. It also could have gone worse. No one was injured, maimed, forced to purchase a Sorcerer’s Hat, or otherwise harmed in the making of this day. We left the park after dinner. Everyone was tired, and the...

thanks for the reasurrance! :) I always wonder if parents secretly bribe their kids to eat green vegetables in public and then they have ice cream for dinner when they get home.

(Sound of gavel rapping) This hearing is now in session. Please note that all parties are present. The defendant, amypoppins, her lead counsel-the Cheshire Cat, the court stenographer-Uncle Donald-the presiding judges-Huey, Dewey, & Louie, and some suspicious characters in the gallery. I...

Little sister and her husband came to visit over Labor Day and I made her some special treats to celebrate her birthday. I got the ideas and directions from Bakerella and Disneyfamily.com. They were easier to make than walking up Main Street toward Fantasy Land--after Wishes has ended.

allright...let's try the photo thing again.

A word about lunch at Pizza Planet—despite the lack of Hidden Valley Ranch, they still had packets of salad dressing out and available to the general public, the non-HVR included. My sister wisely swiped a few extra, and in a moment of desperation the next day they came in handy. So, it’s...

Here we are...Dad "I'm-going-to-need-a-nap-soon", Mom "Easy-Spirit and can-I-get-a-picture-for-Facebook?", Chip and Dale, and little sister-"All you do is show up"

Hey, traditional-schmaditional I say. Every family is just doing what they do. A big hats off to you and yours for making the magic for your family. It's one thing to think that going on a big family trip might be hard--but it's another to jump in KNOWING it could be really hard. Thanks for...

I wasn't planning to write about the wedding since it DIDN"T get to happen at WDW!:sad2: Maybe I'll write up a short version (there was the incident with one of the groomsman's girlfriends starting a family feud between the aunts on both sides) and I can send it to you! It was very sweet of...

Thank you so much! Pizza Planet was pretty good. It's not a big menu--a few different pizzas--individual ones, like Pizza Hut's personal pan pizzas-salads, and breasticks. But it's a nice alternative to the burger/fry route, and apparently there are children in the world that will eat salad...

thank you! I really appreciate the compliment!

thank you so much! I would never want to write one of THOSE Christmas letters!;)

The Studios So, armed with our park maps and buttons we marched down Hollywood Boulevard and made a right, heading directly for Tower of Terror. On the way my sister let out a yell and said “Sunscreen!” to which we all stopped and looked at her. You see, my sister’s wedding dress was...

thank you! and no, you are definitely not the only family with parking lot fights. We had a really good one at a Holiday Inn Sunspree in Fort Lauderdale I could write a whole trip report on. thanks again for coming along!

thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you like it!
