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 were free because they’re under three years old, which helped ease the pain of the high bill.  We prepaid for the brunch when we made our reservations a month ago.  The cost was $195 (including the tip) for our entire part, which was steep for …read more

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.

For the first time, my family and I watched the Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends show at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom this past weekend.  My triplets are nearly three years old now, and it seemed like the perfect time to take them to a show where they could see forest animals close up.  Unfortunately, we left the show with the consensus among us that it was boring.

Now Walt Disney World’s Disney-MGM Studios visitors can “Get in the Game” in a pep rally inspired by the hit Disney movie “High School Musical.”  My family and I were enjoying a late afternoon snack by the lake at Disney-MGM Studios yesterday afternoon when suddenly a huge float came out of nowhere carrying cheerleaders, basketball players and other performers dressed as high school students.  Music from the Disney made-for-TV movie, ”High School Musical,” blasted from speakers from all directions around the main focal point of Disney-MGM Studios, Mickey Mouse’s sorcerer’s hat.

In true Disney tradition, the newest attraction at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest, is not just a thrill ride but also a suspenseful story in a realistic setting.  The experience begins as you enter the Animal Kingdom and see Mt. Everest towering over the Central Florida horizon.  Next, head toward the Asia section of the Animal Kingdom park and pick up a Fast Pass if the wait is too long for you.  If you can’t wait another second to start your expedition, join the line and your adventure will begin.
