Did you know that Walt Disney was a bit of a foodie? He must have been for his favorite chili and chicken dishes to have stood the test of time. Even now, you can order both entrees at Disneyland, a lasting tribute to the man’s love of food. Walt’s passion for comfort food unintentionally led […]
Among the four Walt Disney World theme parks, EPCOT proves the most difficult to gauge. It has nothing to do with the park, though. Instead, the randomness happens due to the guests.

You may be surprised to learn that one of the most divisive Disney vacation topics is tipping. Seriously, David has really stepped in it a few times with his writing on this subject.

You will inevitably overdo it at Walt Disney World, taxing your body to its logical limits. If you’re anything like David, you won’t even know you’ve done it until you notice the rashes and blisters on your feet. Yeah, he gets gross. Don’t be like David. Take your time at the parks and plan a […]
