← Orlando Orlando · Walt Disney World

Disney as a couple, not a family production.

Sarah and I got annual passes for our last year with a permanent Orlando home. We recap the day, then we review each restaurant and ride we try — Knup score out of 10, optional finger selfie for the photo, and a five-star Google review when we post one. This is not an encyclopedia of the parks. It is what two adults actually did.
