While scouring the magical interwebs and Disney Parks … Continue reading Hocus Pocus Cuppycakes!
Palo is an adults only restaurant and can be found on all four Disney Cruise line ships.

If I had to describe Remy on the Disney Dream in one word it would be...delicieux. But not just scrumptious to the palate. Remy is a completely extraordinary experience from the moment you grace the entrance where glass Remy is poached upon the chandelier, until you waddle, duck confit like, out the doorway. While my … Continue reading Remy; a piece of France in the middle of the Atlantic

But fret not, I’ve rolled up … Continue reading The most emotion eliciting scenes in Disney film history

Although you will rarely see overzealous candy mongers dressed as these unsung heros on Halloween, I can’t help but acknowledge the impact of the wisecracking’, straight talkin’ and most influential grannies of Disney! My relationship with my own grandmother was complicated, but even so, her life lessons and no nonsense advice affects me to this … Continue reading Five of the most influential Disney Grannies
