can someone go to disneyworld and not eat at a restaurant?

people are funny. and awesome.  folks have been asking if the king kept the streak alive at disney.  usually it's kinda clandestine: asked in a, it's cool either way - i ain't gonna tell nobody, low tone whisper while looking both ways to ensure the coast is clear.  that's appreciated.  but, the cloak and dagger isn't necessary.  a few of the regulars assumed i just went on hiatus - took a little breaky break. no break. the impossible is possible. had i blogged earlier, several explanations … [Read more...]
