A talk with the owner of Splitsville – coming soon to DTD

I had a chance to talk with Splitsville co-owner Mark Revelle this morning to get some info about the new, upcoming Downtown Disney bowling venue. It looks like it’s going to be great fun, but I had two burning questions I had to get off my chest. Watch until the end to see if Splitsville [...]

“Trip to Humid World” by Katie, age 8

Katie and I just got back from another Daddy/Daughter trip to Walt Disney World. Before we left, she found one of my old journals where I chronicled some of our vacations. She told me she wanted to do the same thing on this trip, so she packed a journal and spent every night writing. When [...]

So it is completely without my journalist’s jaundiced eye I that I read over the planned changes to Pleasure Island/Downtown Disney today. My initial reaction – I love it, and I can’t wait. I can’t say I was giddy over Pollo [...]

On Grafton Street, in November…

Anyone who read the first “Mousejunkies” book knows it’s no secret that I love Raglan Road – the poem, the song and the restaurant at Downtown Disney. And I’m afraid I’ll be gushing over it a bit more in the next book, coming out in the spring. Until then though, I thought I’d check my [...]

The dumbest question ever (and I mean that with love)
