While I was always curious and knew I wanted to go eventually, I didn't think it would ever be 'up there' on my list of favourite places in this world. Then, I experienced Disney as an adult with my ... read more

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Cabins
During our recent stay at Walt Disney World we had the chance to stay in a new-to-us Disney resort. I knew about Disney's Fort Wilderness Cabins before our stay, since they can sleep up to 6 people and any hotel or accommodation that caters to families of 5 or more are always on my radar. Disney Parks made the Fort Wilderness Cabins in a typical forest setting. Drive into the area and it's just ... read more

Dining on the Disney Wonder
I hadn't cruised before sailing on the Disney Wonder, yet remarks from others centered hugely around 'the food'.

Like I said in my previously in my Disney Wonder review, there is a unique rotational dining schedule. This way, all guests ... read more
