Anyone who's ever met me, KNOWS that I absolutely LOVE Disney, and all things Disney.
I have visited Disney World several times. I've stayed on site at Disney Resorts, and also have stayed off site at different hotels.

I get excited helping to plan your vacation to Disney. I have many suggestions and tips that have proven useful for most people.

Please contact me to help you plan your Disney Vacation today!!!!

Here is what we did in Sept 07:
Day 1: Flight to Orlando, checked into our hotel "Disney's Pop Century". Pop Century was a great value resort, the food court was large with many selections, and a lot of places to sit. The refillable cup was a good deal. We then headed off to Downtown Disney. Visited the toy store, and ate at the counter service 'Earl of Sandwich', awesome sandwiches!!!!!!! I was quite impressed.
Day 2: Played at the 'bowling pin' pool, which was heated, so that was nice. Basically hung out at the resort most of the day. Took naps, and headed over to the Magic Kingdom for the Halloween Party. We ate dinner at the Crystal Palace with all the Pooh characters. The buffet was good, nothing extra special, pretty much exactly what we had expected. We all dressed up in costume for the Halloween party, so that was fun. The halloween party started at 7pm, and we made it until about 8:15pm before it started to rain. The first parade was rained out, but we did watch the 2nd parade, which was amazing, and nothing like any other parade Disney does. We also seen Cinderella's carriage, and the villian show before heading back to the hotel.
Day 3: Ate breakfast at Boma's at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Always our favorite. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet, with made to order omelets, fresh fruit, bread, etc. Spent the day at Animal Kingdom. Watched the Nemo show there, excellent!!! Ate dinner at Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort
Day 4: We started at Epcot to do the Nemo ride there, then headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Watched the afternoon parade, and then ate dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. Great food, served family style, and character interaction that we love! We also visited the Baby Care Center. This impressed me, it felt like home with the high chairs, changing tables, tv set up, etc. It was perfect for those few minutes to feed the baby, and wind down a little bit.
Day 5: Ate breakfast at Chef Mickey's, good food, good character interaction, very upbeat and fun. Went over to the Magic Kingdom to visit the princesses. Ate lunch at Cosmic Rays. Ate dinner at Cinderella's Gala Feast at the Grand Floridian with Cinderella, Prince Charming, the stepsisters and stepmother.

Barbados Sept 2007

I traveled to Barbados in September 2007 with a group of travel agents.
I learned a lot about the island, and wanted to share some great info!!!

The island:

- A valid U.S. Passport is required for all U.S. citizens.
- The island was erected from a coral reef, unlike most other islands in the Caribbean that were formed from volcanoes.
- Because it's on a coral reef:
---- The water is the 2nd most pure water in the world, next to the Swiss Alps, which means you can drink the water right out of the tap!!!! It's true!!
---- There are some great underground caves to visit
- Barbados is the number one destination for those living in the Caribbean, to vacation to.
- It is 19 miles from St. Lucia, and approx 45 minutes by plane to Caracas, Venezuela
- English is the native language
- No topless sun bathing allowed
- Cameflouge is illegal, and will be confiscated. It is allowed for their military only.
- Drive on the left

Here are some pictures out and about in Barbados:

This resort really impressed me. Upon arrival you are greeted with a smoothie, and are invited to check in where ever you'd like. So if you want to relax by the pool, the ambassadors will come to you where ever you prefer. 2 ambassadors are assigned to every room, so it's all about SERVICE here!!! One of the pictures in this slide show are the private plunge pools. Very unique at this property.

This all inclusive property is great for anyone! I especially liked it for families. There was a separate section with pools and slides of all shapes and sizes for all ages of children and babies.
