Happy Start to the Holiday Season, Disney Fans!!!      As you've probably heard, holiday events have already begun at both Disney's Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. (Parade filming has been taking place this week and The Studios kicked off their new event, Flurry of Fun.)

My spouse/partner/boyfriend or girlfriend is as obsessed with Disney as I am... otherwise they wouldn't have been "the one". I have a drawer in my bathroom filled to the brim with Disney toiletries , which I have managed to collect from Mousekeeping, on every single trip.

Hey there, Disney Fans!!!     I hope everyone is having an awesome Fall and is enjoying the heck out of a pumpkin spice something right about now! Now that we are in the "off-season" here in theme park world, (HALLELUJAH!), one of the very few negatives is that parks generally start closing earlier. So if you are visiting in off-season, what should you plan on doing to occupy your evenings? Here are five of my favorite ways to spend an evening, outside of the parks! 1. Make Dining An Event      With so many awesome restaurants on Disney property, you could easily make an evening out of enjoying your dinner reservations. In fact, there are already some meals that include entertainment, like Disney's three dinner shows,  The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue  and  Mickey's Backyard Barbecue  at Fort Wilderness, and  The Spirit of Aloha,  (known to most Guests as "The Luau"), at the Polynesian Village Resort.
