2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 4

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
RADP – Day 2 – Epcot! Actually we didn’t make the early meets at all today – we *really* needed to get out and run this morning (since we have this pesky marathon/half marathon coming up in four weeks!), so we went out and ran for 45 minutes or so this morning. If the weather … Continue reading "2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 4"

2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 3

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Friday – the first day of the official RADP meets. Today was Animal Kingdom Day. The RADP Meet is really not about riding rides and doing things – it’s about spending time with friends that we might not see more than once every year or two. We have a good time being silly. The cast … Continue reading "2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 3"

2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Big day today – instead of getting up and going to a Disney park, we actually left Disney property (gasp!) and went to Universal’s Islands of Adventure Park. Different experience in many ways. Our main objective was to visit the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter. For those of you who don’t want to read … Continue reading "2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 2"

2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It’s late, and we have to get up fairly early (especially by west coast standards) to go to Universal tomorrow, so this is going to be a bit short… Had a very easy travel day today – smooth flights and minimal waits for our bags and rental car. We were at Disney’s Boardwalk Villas just … Continue reading "2010 Holidays at WDW – Part 1"

2010 Holidays at WDW – Are We There Yet?

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
December – must be time for our annual trip to Walt Disney World! I think this might be my very favorite time of year to visit – the weather isn’t hot, the crowds are relatively light, and all of the holiday events are in full swing. This year it looks like we’re going to have … Continue reading "2010 Holidays at WDW – Are We There Yet?"

Santa’s Reindeer Roundup

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
During the holiday season, Santa’s Reindeer Roundup comes to Big Thunder Ranch at Disneyland. Santa and Mrs. Claus greet guests in the nearby cabin, while Santa’s reindeer, all eight of them, live in the corral area. I recently had the opportunity to speak to Maggie Gitchen, Guest Service Manager at the Circle D, who oversees … Continue reading "Santa’s Reindeer Roundup"

Little Bit of Disney in Your Decorating

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It’s that time of year…the days are shorter, the nights are colder, and mailboxes are filled with catalogs and sale ads. When the President starts pardoning turkeys we know it’s time to start rooting around in our closets, attics, and storage units and pulling out the holiday decorations. I have a lot of Disney-themed decorations…my … Continue reading "Little Bit of Disney in Your Decorating"

The Holidays at Disneyland – 2010

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” Or so the song goes – and I have to say that it really is a wonderful time of the year at Disneyland! The 2010 holiday season started at Disneyland on Friday, November 12 and runs through January 2, 2011. The weather wasn’t very “holiday” like, being … Continue reading "The Holidays at Disneyland – 2010"

Disneyland New and Upcoming Events

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
First the bad news…as announced November 3 on the Disney Parks Blog, there will be no Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival in 2011 or 2012. The wording was such that some speculated that it just wouldn’t be at DCA, but AllEars has verified with a Disney representative that there will be NO Festival. I’m … Continue reading "Disneyland New and Upcoming Events"
