Chapter 164 Final Haunts October 29-31, 2013 Even though we’d already been to Disneyland a whole lot over the last few days, we decided to go to the parks on Tuesday because the 29th was the last evening without a Halloween Party scheduled—meaning it would be our last opportunity to see the Halloween decorations this …
Chapter 27 Totally Glacial Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents It was an odd experience how our ship suddenly turned a corner to reveal the end of the fjord and Sawyer Glacier in the distance. We still had to get around some ice before we could get any further, but at least we knew …
August 15th, 2014 Chapter 8 Adventure Time Friday arrived, and I hung back at the hotel to work again. I stayed in our room at the Fairfield for the whole morning, but then loaded up my backpack to venture out at lunchtime. It was another hot afternoon, and I didn’t really want to have to go …
Chapter 163 Deadly Dans and Death by Chocolate After leaving Big Thunder Ranch, we walked over to the Haunted Mansion. This week’s Limited Time Magic featured the Cadaver Dans performing in the light of day on the balcony of the moldering sanctum. They had already started their show by the time we got back to the …

Chapter 162 Heroes, Villains, Princesses, and Goats As we walked down Main Street and toward the Market House Starbucks, Tracy pointed out her favorite pumpkins to me—which I somehow had never noticed before. We ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte and a Pumpkin Scone (we were determined to get our fill of autumn before the winter …
Chapter 25 What Can We Af-fjord?

The subtle change that I’m not honestly sure we noticed at the …
Chapter 28 Thanks for Lunch, Stitch (Originally posted August 14, 2012) I feel almost blasphemous revealing that we had never before been on the Carousel of Progress.

Chapter 27 Our New Orange Friend (Originally posted August 12, 2012) While still celebrating our luck, we decided to hop on board the Walt Disney World Railroad. We rode around to the Frontierland station and got off without much of a plan as to where to go next. We passed by the end of Splash …
