Delicious Quick-Service Find at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

I’m not knocking the hot dog fans out there (I’m one myself actually), but Walt Disney World definitely has stepped up their game when it comes to speedy service and good quality choices. Quick-service defines their version of ‘fast food’ in which you order your menu items, receive your tray with your meal, pay the […]

While on my Danube River Cruise I was fortunate to visit two Christmas Markets with the first being in Vienna, Austria.
