    Being a Princess for a Day at Disney World

    ByEileen Ogintz March 28, 2010June 28, 2023

    I forgot my tiara and kept misplacing my wand. After all, it’s not easy being a modern-day Disney princess. You need to keep that tiara firmly on your head; you need to be kind to everyone — even annoying younger siblings.

    Opting for luxe beyond the parks of Orlando

    ByEileen Ogintz March 18, 2010October 4, 2023

    AAH… I’m in the midst of possibly the best massage I’ve ever had at Orlando Grand Lakes Ritz Carlton Spa—thanks to the feet of the massage therapist, who happens to be a former paratrooper, he tells me!

    In and around Disney’s Grand Floridian

    ByEileen Ogintz March 17, 2010June 28, 2023

    So how would a princess ask for a piece of cake? The half dozen or so princesses in training, their tiaras on their heads are listening attentively. “Ahem, Madame Chef, May I have a piece of cake,” Rose Petal (who apparently was a rose in the palace garden and then magically became a princess so she could be Aurora’s friend) instructs them

    To a Place American Families Haven’t Yet Discovered

    ByEileen Ogintz March 14, 2010June 28, 2023

The long-haired, 29-year-old Chileano is Max Vera, our guide on a challenging uphill hike along the canyon floor. We scramble over rocks strewn along a sandy trail, large “fox tails” and cacti that are 12 feet high with needles so sharp that local Indian women use them to sew and knit.
