Let's go back in time and take a look at Walt Disney World in 2002.

Find out about what rides were still around, where you could get McDonalds Fries, and the TERRIFYING ride that used to be in Tomorrowland.

Come along as I recap my trip to Las Vegas and Zion National Park in Utah a few weeks ago. My husband and I did a walking food tour of Old Vegas and Freemont street, and had dinner at Chin Chin and the Citizen. Then we headed to Zion National park and stayed at the one rental property in the park, True North, and enjoyed the neighboring town of Springdale. If you are headed out west and looking for a rural and city mix, don't miss this episode.

Let me help you book a tour in your city.
Check out Viator.

If you are planning a Walt Disney World trip in 2025, don't miss this episode. I'm sharing my strategy for "rope dropping" Magic Kingdom, or what to ride as soon as the park opens. I have 2 completely different strategies for this based on your travel party. Today I'll share my suggestions if you are traveling with little kids or want to focus on characters and family friendly rides, but check out my previous episode where I share a Magic Kingdom strategy if you are looking for thrill rides.  I also share my top 3 picks for Lightning Lane Multi Pass at this park.

If you are planning a Walt Disney World trip in 2025, don't miss this episode. I'm sharing my strategy for "rope dropping" EPCOT, or what to ride as soon as the park opens. I'm suggesting you head to one of the 4 corners of EPCOT - Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Soarin or Test Track (when it reopens). But a lot of this will depend on where you get to enter the park! I also share my top 3 picks for Lightning Lane Multi Pass at this park. Come back for the rest of the series to hear my strategy for Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.
