Our last full day of vacation was supposed to start out with some racecar action at the WDW Speedway, courtesy of the Richard Petty Driving Experience. But thanks to some sort of bad bug, either in the air or in something he consumed, Mr. M was definitely not up for riding 160 mph in [...]
Remember how I really wanted these crazy saffron pants?? Well… I got them, only after they were marked down 40% off of their FINAL SALE price ($89 to $12) and I love love love them. And yes, it’s a lot of yellow… but man it’s a whole lot of fun [...]
I fell in love with 3191 almost 2 years ago, and followed the blog religiously every single day. They shared photos of their daily lives every day… sharing mornings and evenings and making the normal seem poetic and extraordinary. Now that the “year of mornings” and “year of evenings” has passed on… I’m looking forward [...]
After our first two days of park hopping with ease, we realized that our 7-day vacation might leave us with a bit of “extra” time. The thought was that we could find some time to enjoy DisneyQuest or a water park, or simply hit the rides and attractions we missed. But due to that intense [...]
So… with our trip almost wrapping up… we headed back to the park where we started it all: Hollywood Studios! I do have to admit it was a bit nostalgic to tromp through an imaginary Los Angeles… made infinitely better by the lack of cars.
Our first ride of the day: Toy Story [...]

Here was her beautiful idea for a light poem:
“Quiero hacer contigo lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos.”
Translation: “I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees.” Pablo Neruda
Thanks to everyone who entered! I loved reading the words from [...]
On Day #4, the weather started to get cold. Sure, it wasn’t rainy, but the sun wasn’t masking the fact that this wasn’t any sort of “normal” Florida weather. With the excitement still bubbling from the previous night’s animal encounters, we hopped over to the Animal Kingdom for a safari-filled day. Our first stop [...]

As you can see above… coast to coast jet lag always seems to creep up on you two days after you arrive at your destination. Our “late” start at 10am was still way too early for me… but what can you do? Mr. M had been up extra early (7am) to finish up some [...]
Since we had conquered most of Future World… we set our sights on conquering the second part of EPCOT — the World Showcase! I’d only made it to the UK in my previous trip… and my culinary tastes weren’t quite as diverse back then… so I was actually excited to go around and see/taste the [...]
We’ll call this day our “good weather day.” We woke up with a little bit of jet lag on Sunday morning (SuperBowl day!) and decided that since the rain was coming on Monday, that we’d set out for gigantic EPCOT on our first day. So we hopped on our bus… and off we went!
First [...]
So how did we start off our grand trip to the mecca of Disney? Well, we left California at 8:30am, had a quick stop in Denver, and then continued on the same plane all the way to Orlando. The Mr. and I are both quite good at sleeping on planes, so we [...]
