Kyle checking out food options at Victoria & Albert's

Fish King and Roy’s Fish Market are where I spent most of my extra time growing up.  Before General Motors bought all of the land for their Flint headquarters and razed the buildings, those were our family owned fresh fish markets and seafood restaurants.  Imagine my grandmother’s disgust when I introduced her to my...

Kona Cafe- My “Go To” Spot for Breakfast at WDW

OK, so I’ll admit it… I’m not much of a breakfast person.  In fact, I am normally completely satisfied with nothing more than a good Latte (3 Raw Sugars and 1/4 inch foam).  The key word here is normally… When I’m at Walt Disney World, I jump out of the box and indulge to...
