I think Alice from Alice In Wonderland was on point. We have all hit our boiling points; everyone just seems spent, done, kaput. Things in our worlds don’t make sense anymore. Everyone is divided, everyone is on edge, we can all agree most people are burned out and, in general, in not such nice moods. Maybe we are all just mostly trying to make sense of our changing worlds.

With the new Disney Genie+ service, you may be already thinking ahead to your next Disney vacation and wondering how you can best strategize for your family. Will your vacation planning change with the new system? Let’s consider some options.

Now more than ever, it’s a part of your world. A Walt Disney World guest needs to be technologically literate in order to have both the most efficient and hygienic Disney visit, and have the access they need to what the parks and resorts offer. You need to use your smartphone and use it often. There is a learning curve for those who are digitally challenged. My favorite tip is to become digitally savvy at home and practice using the My Disney Experience app and any other apps with which you are unfamiliar before your vacation.

The Holocaust is a difficult subject to talk about, write about, and read about. It is about evil, hate, intolerance and hopelessness. Is genocide a conversation for Disney fans, for those wanting to play and converse about fun issues like magic and fantasy and fairy tales? It actually is because The DIS is a community; it is a family that chooses to do good charity work with Give Kids the World Village. GKTW’s foundation was built upon the devastation of the Holocaust and one man’s story of survival: Mr. Henri Landwirth.

On a recent Walt Disney World vacation, my family and I revisited Tony’s Town Square Restaurant and enjoyed a table service dinner. It was a casual, fun experience and the food tasted good. Tony’s is a great choice for families, an excellent location, has friendly cast members, and we liked it. Yes, we liked Tony’s. Unfortunately Tony’s and the word “like” aren’t always used in a sentence together with Disney fans, but I am here to offer the notion that you CAN eat at Tony’s, and you CAN like it.

To continue with Bambi’s quote above, “…like the voice of a heavenly choir, love’s sweet music flows on…”. These lyrics to the opening of Bambi makes the heart and mind remember that music is love and love is music. It’s so hard to find live music experiences these days, so when you have the opportunity to watch a vocal group perform, it’s a magical time.
