It was October, and my pictures from my just-ended trip to Walt Disney World were still transferring into Aperture when I got an itch. So I went into my backpack and found my Mickey Mouse head puffed-rice treat on a stick. And I ate it. But my itch was still there. The Mickey head didn't...

Well before I had even entered the contest that made possible my trip this October, I had been having conversations with some of my coworkers about going to Disney in 2012 for Star Wars Weekends. Original plan was a medium-sized group, and I would room with my then-girlfriend. However, as you...

Earlier this year, I entered a contest online, for the general "heck of it." Grand prize was 3 night's stay in an Orlando-area hotel. I was thinking maybe I'd win one of the other prizes, like a cool bag or a Disney gift card to spend on more classic EPCOT Center merch. A few months later, I...

So, here it is. The stuff that Disney fans enjoy reading about and living vicariously through when they themselves cannot make it down to Disney. I'll be staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. And of course, as anybody would want to do at the AKL, I have reserved a Savannah View room. I am very...

Well, I just passed the six-month mark and so my ADRs are in and locked :) I'm sure I'll get my share of flaming because I know how people view the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan, but I'm quite happy with prepaying and eating a lot of sit-down meals. I don't need to eat standing up or rush around...

Well, today I came up with this list, as I figured it was a nice list to have around. It's a Google Doc, and it's taken from the 2010 DDP PDF. To make it sortable, just go to View --> List View and you can sort and trim down the list as you wish. I made it for myself, but I decided to share...

I'm going to Disney in December, and I'm looking at maybe renting a lens to add to my collection of two lenses, just so I have something new to play around with. I was hoping to get opinions from other photographers on what they find to be "fun" lenses to shoot. I have a Nikon D60, and my two...

I'm hoping this is in the right forum, but if it isn't, please move it. As we all know, Disney has acquired Marvel. Now this created a huge anti-trust issue because Disney now can look into Universal's books through its dealings with Marvel. This is now avoided now because of something...

What are people's opinions on getting reservations for lunch? In December, my party and I will all be on the DDDP, so we want to do sit down lunches as a way to relax a little. I know I can't actually make the reservations for a few months now (June, actually), but I want to be able to hash...

I was going through my room at my parents' house yesterday, and I found some things I wanted to bring back to my apartment with me to spruce it up. This is what I found :) I'm a bit of a packrat, if you couldn't tell. I like holding onto hotel keys and stuff. The first two Keys, you can...

When I decided to go to Disney, I made a decision to save my change. Doing so involves rounding each cash purchase up to the next dollar (always rounding up) and never using change, if you can help it. I started this about eight or nine months ago. I got around to rolling it today. Keep in...

Hey, my name is Ben and I actually found this site when I was digging around a bit for info on the Muppets Whatnot Workshop. I'm a big Disney fan (which surprises all my friends especially regarding my age) who also enjoys autocrossing. I'm a corporate tax accountant in Connecticut. My next...
