Dealing with Disney

The Ponies & Horses of Walt Disney World! I SO love animals and I love the fact I can actually visit them while on vacation is even better! They are located at Fort Wilderness at Tri-Circle D Ranch. There are two locations which is important to know. Ponies & working horses are over at The Settlement and The horses for trail rides are by the main entrance.  Such a hidden gem for the horse lover! It's totally FREE! (Parts of it anyway) Every time I have visited I have also learned something new from the amazing care takers! Once ( I so wish I had her name) went into great detail with my son over the care of the ponies as well as interesting facts & tips in their care. Ex: what to do if one steps on your foot. (OUCH!) Watch a pony ride  quick peek at what to expect Giddy up for a Pony ride!  Quick Link For your little ones, you can take them by lead around the walking path. $8.00 per walk or Buy 1 get 1 half off! We did two laps for $12.00. ...

Beaches & Cream Restaurant   Nestled on the walk way of Disney's Beach Club Resort resides this little gem! Little as in it really is a small dining location! This also is the reason reservations can sometimes be a little tricky in obtaining. There is very limited seating!  If you still have a craving for a delicious shake, no worries, They also have a to-go ordering section. The to-go orders are more limited but you can still get that craving fulfilled The size adds to the quaintness of this old fashioned soda shop with a grill!  I love the decor/theming and their offerings! This is not the best restaurant to utilize your dining plan on! Entrees top out at $16.00, best to pay out of pocket or great for a trip without a dining plan but still wanting a neat dining experience! They only serve lunch or dinner!  I enjoyed a grilled cheese here previously with the tomato bisque and a chili dog on last trip!  Notice the chili dog is not o...

All Star Movies resort is one of the 3 Disney All Star resorts. They sit side by side and all share the Same bus transportation line. This means the bus will stop at each resort on the way to each designated park the bus is assigned to. This can make for some overcrowding. However, They do utilize the extended busses to help carry the guests to/from parks.  The rooms offered are either 2 full size beds or 1 king. You can request a king depending on party size, but not guaranteed. Each has a mini fridge but is not very great. They are about as equivalent as a cooler. It keeps it somewhat cool but not cold. The All Star resorts belong to the value resorts offered at Disney World. They are currently all going through a massive & over due refurbishment. POP Century resort is one of the Value resorts that is now almost complete with it's makeover. What is interesting for POP is they changed the bed options. 1 queen & a full size sleeper sofa are now what it offered. They als...

Located in Fantasy Land behind 7 Dwarfs Mine Train you can find The Little Mermaid ride & Ariel's grotto for M&G! Travel along through the story of The Little Mermaid as you watch her dream of being part of our world, Visiting Ursula, Turning Human, meeting Prince Eric, defeating the Sea Witch and Living Happily Ever after! This is a nice calm ride, continuous moving indoor ride but also one that tends to break down. It can generate long queues and can be slow moving. While going through the queue, you can follow the little blue crabs as they scurry with trinkets & treasures, meet Scuttle and see the amazing detail of work placed in setting this attraction up. No height requirement for this attraction. The clam mobile can hold 3-4 people easily(always depends on size of people) 3 is comfy for us. As you board your clam mobile, you meet scuttle and then descend backwards underwater so you can see her world. As you watch Ariel become 'human' you move back ...

This is one of those nostalgic treasures of a ride located inside the Mexican Pavilion of EPCOT's World Showcase. It is very cute, simple, relaxing & easy to enjoy ride. The queue never gets too long & moves fairly quickly. It is a great place to also get out of the sun & cool off a bit for those not thrilled with the slower rides. Slow boat ride similar to It's a Small World with no hills, no pop outs but it is a little dark for those of you with timid children. Mine is scared of everything and loves this ride. This ride is expected to go through a refurbishment with a Coco overlay. Inside the Mexican Pavilion, you can already see many window creations from the movie. I will be sad with the changes but I know I will greatly enjoy them as well. Coco is an outstanding movie based on family which has always been very important to me.  Come for a  Ride Through Inside of the Mexican Pavilion, beautiful My favorite part!
