Prepping for Disney World By Binging Movies

I can't believe I'm almost done with my pre-trip Walt Disney Wednesday posts, I only have two more left (I may have misspoken last week and said there two more left then, and if so, I apologize).  This week's post is one I originally planned at putting towards the beginning of my Walt Disney Wednesdays, but I thought it was better suited for the end.  Let me start...

Reflections on the Liberation of Auschwitz-75 Years Later

Let me start out by saying I meant to post this yesterday, on the actual anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, but I've been agonizing for about a week about how to write this post.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to go more the historical route, focus more on my experiences or do a combination of the two.  Even as I'm writing this, I don't really have a plan. ...

I know I watched...

A Closer Look at Animal Kingdom

It's hard to believe I'm doing my last write up on a specific Disney park.  It's also hard to believe it's only 30 days until our trip (but who's counting?).  The irony of this post is that while I'm writing about Animal Kingdom last, it's actually the first park we're going to on our trip.  A lot of that came down to where we wanted to eat our first day of...
