U.S. Open of Waterskiing Championships at Downtown Disney

Playhouse Disney Live on Stage at Disney-MGM Studios

Mother’s Day Brunch at Epcot

Yesterday, my family went to the Mother’s Day Brunch at Epcot, which is held each year during the International Flower and Garden Festival.  This was our first time attending the Mother’s Day Brunch, so we weren’t sure what to expect.  We took our triplets and my parents, so we had a party of seven.  The triplets […]

Baby Centers at Disney Parks are Lifesavers for Parents

Each Walt Disney World theme park (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom) has a Baby Center that parents of small children should use liberally (although they are open to all guests who can benefit from them).  The Baby Centers include feeding areas for infants and toddlers with high chairs as well as kitchen […]

Pirates have Landed at Epcot

The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival began earlier this month, and the pirate theme is heavily featured.  As guests enter the park through the turnstiles, they are greeted by a huge topiary depicting a pirate ship, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Captain Hook.  As an added surprise, Stitch makes an appearance behind the pirate ship.
