    ByEileen Ogintz April 8, 2012July 5, 2021

    ByEileen Ogintz April 5, 2012July 7, 2021

    Wow! Even the jaded 17 year olds I’m with are impressed. At the end of the show, each of our names — as we signed them on our placemat — is listed on the credits as “guest animator.”

    Just a couple of teens on a Disney Cruise

    ByEileen Ogintz April 3, 2012July 7, 2021

    Jack Sparrow greeted us, along with crystal clear, bright blue waters and white sandy beaches. We walked past the first beach because it was a little crowded, but found chairs AND, much to our content, a water slide at the second beach

    Learning local history adds to vacation memories

    ByEileen Ogintz March 30, 2012July 16, 2021

    Since we’re here on a girl’s getaway, we find it amusing that at the height of the mining boom in the 1900 census, there were 22 seamstresses in Park City but only two sewing machines.

    ByEileen Ogintz March 29, 2012June 28, 2023
