  Another favorite of the Flower Garden Festival is the Tinkerbell butterfly garden. This area is now found on the back side of Innoventions near the Figment ride (Journey into Imagination).  We love this area, and it seems to improve every year! Not only are the flowers inside the tent beautiful, but the butterflies that have made this their residence are breathtaking.  One of the benefits of the butterfly garden is it is like a Science field trip. The kids can see each stage of the butterfly progression,  learn which plants they feed on, learn about their life cycle and more....

Star Wars Weekend 2013 is almost here!! These weekends are so fun, and also quite hilarious in the same respect. Kids are not the only ones who dress up in costume to come to Walt Disney World, and Star Wars Weekends are no exception!  Annually I work very hard to get a day for me and my dearest oldest child. We are both Star Wars fans!! Him more than I, I tend to be a Trekkie!! This is such a special time for us as Mother and Son, so I always take along a camera set. I tend to use the fixed 50mm lens  as i don't need large scenery, just good shots. (Nikon AFS 50mm f/1.4G) http://kingdomcamerarentals.com/category/19_75/Lenses/Nikon.php,...

My darling daughter had a birthday!! AHHHHhhh for growing up! WHY does this have to happen every year!? HahahahaWalt Disney World is FANTASTIC at celebrations! My daughter decided she wanted to keep to her tradition of spending the day with me, her Mema, and three of our family friends. I think she knows that we adults will make the day about her. So we, of course, took it to the next level. We decided to stay at the All Star Music resort in one of the suites. We also decided to try the Disney Dining Plan and what a good move that was! To decorate the hotel room for the birthday girl,  Mema and 2 of the gals...

Disney is bringing some new technology to the parks. They have already begun some of the phases, such as new Entry Touch Points, and hard plastic cards. All annual passholders can bring their paper passes to the Odyssey Center at Epcot near the First Aid Station, and have the pass updated to a plastic card. These cards  have the choice of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. The new cards have the technology to connect with the other phase changes that are to come.  The most changes will be for annual passholders, but there will be many changes for Vacationers as well.

 As a Florida gardener, Epcot always has much to offer.  Anytime on a hot day the "Living with The Land" ride is always a short wait, very informative and air conditioned. It is also exciting to see that Disney is using its resources to improve the quality of land use and be innovators when it comes to farming and gardening.  Since "Living with The Land" ride is right below Soarin (my favorite ride), it is also a great place to kill time while waiting for your fast pass to come available. Although not the most exciting ride for the kids, with the summer fast approaching everyone welcomes...

If you were to ask my darling children, ages 3, 8, 10, which park they would like to visit~ 9 out of 10 times they say Epcot!  To many this is CRAY CRAY!! Why not MK?  We do enjoy Magic Kingdom, but i am going to list some of the things my children noted as why Epcot is their favorite. I will start with the Boys of the Family! The Hubby ~Soarin Soarin'  is fantastic!!!  Soarin' was my husbands favorite ride until this year when he finally got our 10 year old to ride Mt. Everest, although this is still definitely his favorite ride in Epcot! When you visit Epcot this needs to be your...
