Rolling out of bed to answer the phone—“Good morning, NO SLEEPING!”—I got up and started getting ready. This time for breakfast, we …

Chapter 16 Epcot After Dark (Originally posted July 31, 2012) Mexico is probably the coolest of the pavilions.

DLR Life Report Update (4/4/13) | We Moved to Disneyland!! Now What…?
Chapter 20 A Taste of Disney (Originally posted April 4, 2013) There are several different topics to cover about the rest of our experiences in November—it was certainly a busy month.

Chapter 19 Going Home? (Originally posted April 2, 2013) We started the drive away from Vegas around lunch time, and we knew that one of our first goals needed to be finding somewhere to eat. As we pulled out, I tweeted: We lost a grand total of $8 in Vegas but at least we got …

Chapter 18 Vegas, Baby! (Originally posted March 29, 2013) Walking into The Venetian, we saw a representative of another of our old favorite guilty-pleasure TV shows. As I explained in my Disney World trip report, we were big fans of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, mostly because it was hilarious. Well, The Venetian had a candy …

Chapter 12 Hiya Fabian Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents While we’d been so loathe to pose for pictures taken by the ship’s official photographers up until this point, something about formal night brought out a desire to commemorate the occasion—even if we had no plans to actually buy any of these photos. …
DLR Life Report Update (3/18/13) | We Moved to Disneyland!! Now What…?
Chapter 16 Time Change Blues (Originally posted March 18, 2013) The snow in Utah was more scenic than it was threatening. Before too long, we were headed on another descent out of these mountains. Duffy, like us, was just ready to arrive already. Our first big landmark in Utah came when we reached the end …
