Quick service

Typhoon Tilly's

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.
