  • Gaylord Palms, you had me at “Hello”

    First, I don’t recommend going to Disney World right after you’ve spent 12+ hours in a car with your husband driving back home to New York from Charlotte following your son’s wedding. I was ready for some “apartness” but off we went to Orlando just two short days after we returned. First stop, one night…

  • My Ode to Earth Day

    I’m cheating this week. I’m using the one and only trip report I ever wrote as my blog. We went on the “Eco Tour” at Castaway Cay in May of 2004. To this day I remain traumatized.  Consider this my tribute to Earth Day: Disney Cruise Line described the Eco Tour excursion as follows: “Get…

  • Corey said the “B” word

    Why did Corey have to mention bathing suits? I’m on the “full-figured” side, which is a nice way of saying I need to lose 20 pounds……….per thigh. I’ve been on quite a few Disney cruises. No matter what, the routine never varies. I scope out the adult pool. YAY!! There are plenty of other plus…

  • Whoopee, the inlaws are joining us

The trips south were split between seeing Pop-Pop and seeing Mickey. Early on, the in-laws would join us for…

  • Load up the Minivan, we’re heading to Mickey World

    We started making our annual pilgrimage to Disney 20 years ago when the kids were 2, 4 and 5. Our earlier visits included the mandatory visit to Boca Raton where my father-in-law had migrated after marrying a lady he met when visiting his brother in Florida. At the time we had a minivan. They didn’t…

  • Send Regina to La Nouba? I don’t think so

    I listened to the March 26 email show. Let me make this crystal clear, Miss Regina ain’t going to Cirque. Here’s the deal. I hate clowns. I’m not sure of when this happened. It could be the time I went to the Ringling Bros. circus at Madison Square Garden. Back when I was single and…

  • Would you like some cheese with your whine?

    Aw, isn’t it sweet when you hear Kevin and John talk about their pin collecting days? Doesn’t it sound like they had ever so much fun? They’re leaving out one teeny detail; they would coerce any and every one to get pins for them. Listen closely to a podcast and imagine the two of them…
