Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort – Video & Photo Tour
After we fell in love with Gran Destino Tower after visiting last year, we made a plan to stay there soon. And we did! See our video and photos from our 2-night stay here in January 2020.

We recently got to spend 6 nights at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. Come along for a photo tour! (And a few videos as well.)
Our First Stay at a Bed & Breakfast
I have wanted to stay at a bed & breakfast for quite a few years now, but we’ve never really had a chance. (I did research practically every B & B in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area for a trip we took years ago, but we ended up staying at the Fulton Steamboat Inn instead, which luckily for us, turned out to be one of my favorite hotel stays ever.) When Gary got us tickets to a hockey game in Columbus, Ohio I found a B & B located relatively close to the arena in the trendy area called Short North. Here is a photo tour of our first ever stay at a bed & breakfast at 50 Lincoln Short North.

Our Stay at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
We recently spent three nights at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa at Walt Disney World. It was our first stay at this resort, and in a nutshell, we loved it!
Our Stay at the Walt Disney World Swan
The Walt Disney World Swan Hotel (along with its sister, the Walt Disney World Dolphin) are two resorts smack dab in the middle of Walt Disney World property, but aren’t actually owned by Disney. The resorts get many of the same benefits as on-site guests (I got to book our fast passes 60 days out like on-site guests for instance) but one disadvantage for us was having to pay for parking. (There is also a resort fee, but with a special rate I booked it was waived for us.) The location is amazing – in the Epcot resort area, but at about half the price of the neighboring Disney resorts for our dates.
Drury Plaza Hotel Pittsburgh Review
And we are back in Pittsburgh! You may remember our last trek north for a visit to Picklesburgh and the Andy Warhol Museum over the summer. This time we spent the weekend celebrating the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins! We attended the Penguins vs. Florida Panthers game on October 14th (Pens won 4-3) and the next morning the two of us participated in the fifth annual Pittsburgh Penguins 6.6K Run.
Our one day at The Flamingo Inn Daytona Beach Shores, Florida
Yep, one day. We aren’t really beach people, but we decided to kick off our trip with a quick stopover at the beach before our jam-packed Walt Disney World vacation began. We wanted somewhere that was a quick drive to get us to Disney the next day, so while scanning a map of Florida I settled on the Daytona Beach area.
The Flamingo Inn was chosen because we didn’t want an expensive place, and the reviews were decent on Trip Advisor. I believe we paid around $65-ish for our off-season midweek stay. No complaints there!
The Flamingo Inn is located about 2 miles south of the Boardwalk area, which is where we drove to that night to eat at Joe’s Crab Shack. (We actually thought we were going to Crabby Joe’s, but ended up at Joe’s Crab Shack by mistake. We stayed at Joe’s Crab Shack however, and it was a lot of fun!)
