This trip was the first trip where my family took the very first flight out of Orlando to our home airport, and we will NEVER do that again. We were trying to save some money (later flights were $30-80 more expensive per person, which really adds up when you’re a family of five) and wantedContinue reading “Why I’ll Never Fly Out of MCO on the First Flight Again”

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility Information
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was my first “new” ride this trip, and after Flight of Passage opening week, I had concerns to say the least. We arrived at EPCOT shortly after 1:30 pm, and the first thing I did once we scanned into the park was sign up for the Cosmic Rewind virtualContinue reading “Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility Information”
‘Ohana Breakfast: Allergies and Accessibility
We started off our second Disney day with an early breakfast reservation at ‘Ohana – one of our family’s favorite meals on property and a long-standing tradition for us.

Home Blog: Episode 3
We arrived home Monday morning. I am not particularly thrilled with this news. The household is slowly shifting back to the real world, everyday, boring stuff… but we’re hitting every roadblock on the way down. We’re not fully unpacked yet, and everyone here has some sort of “sick” going on since about 24 hours afterContinue reading “Home Blog: Episode 3”
TRON: Lightcycle/Run – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility
I’ll be the first to admit that when TRON: Lightcycle/Run was announced for Walt Disney World, I had some major concerns about how accessible this ride would be for plus-size guests. The new coaster was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo, just a few short months after Pandora: The World of Avatar opened at Disney’sContinue reading “TRON: Lightcycle/Run – Tips for Plus-Size Riders and Accessibility”
Liberty Tree Tavern: Allergies and Accessibility
Our first meal this trip was an early dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern (in Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom).
