Having a Ball At Epcot: Family 2018 Disney World Vacation (Part 6)
I have to tell you–I love Epcot! I know some of the rides are a little older, but I prefer to think of them as “classic.” I really mean that! Because we stayed at the Beach Club, we could literally walk into the back of Epcot in about five minutes. Because of this, we spent…

My wife recently celebrated a milestone birthday, and so I thought it would be nice to mark the occasion with a special event. Because she’s been dying to see Hamilton for years, I figured that would be something special for us to do. However, tickets for Hamilton are always in demand, so I had to…
