I need to make a confession that might get my Disney fan card revoked: Space Mountain, once my absolute favorite attraction in Disney World, now leaves me feeling like I’ve been tossed in a washing machine with a bunch of bricks.
Space Mountain
There’s something uniquely disorienting about holding onto childhood nostalgia while your adult body screams in protest. I still remember my first ride on Space Mountain — the anticipation building as I finally reached the height requirement, the wonder of blasting through simulated space, and the pride of conquering a “big kid” coaster.
Remember when Disney Springs was just a casual shopping area where we could wander aimlessly, maybe grab some food at Earl of Sandwich, and call it a day? Those simpler times are long gone. Today’s Disney Springs has evolved into a destination that might require almost as much strategic planning as a park day — and many people don’t realize this until they’re already caught in the chaos.
Disney Springs
I’ve watched countless families waste precious vacation hours because they didn’t understand how dramatically Disney Springs has changed. Heck, I’ve been insanely late for a dining reservation myself because I didn’t realize the sheer madness of the Disney Springs parking garages on the weekends!
All flights into Orlando International Airport, along with other Florida airports, are on hold at this time.

Living just 15 minutes away from Disney World might sound like a dream come true. And, in some ways, it absolutely is.
Yes, I live just a few minutes from this!
But as with most things, the reality can sometimes be a hassle! Here are some things that might surprise you about living next door to Cinderella Castle.
I need to talk about something I just learned that has totally rocked my world — Rogue waves. Yup, you heard that right.

I go on a lot of cruises — some for work (like a recent trip on the brand new Disney Treasure cruise ship), and some for pleasure. But now, I discovered that these enormous, freak waves can occur out of nowhere, and I’m wondering if I should second-guess my entire vacation.
I’ve been flying to Disney World for…longer than I care to admit.
Flying to Disney World
Let’s just say that while I wasn’t around on opening day in 1971, my first trip to Disney World was not long after that. And my first flight to Disney World? Well, it was on TWA — an airline that hasn’t been around for about 25 years.
