We're now one month closer to the official 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. So, that means it's time for another in our continuing series looking back at the history of this amazing company that we love so much. This week, we're exploring a very recent but exciting decade with our Disney At 100 - Disney In The 2010s episode. A ton of stuff happened that shapes how we think of Disney right now during this time. Michelle shares lots of fascinating details to remind us why this period could be considered the company's second renaissance.

Once we complete our Disney At 100 - Disney In The 2010s segment, we tell you a little bit about the food and fun we experienced during our recent quick visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. We discuss our stay at Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Find out what we think of this interesting DVC location. We, also, share our thoughts on some of the tasty treats we sampled at this year's Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.

Next, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week, including something that might be of interest to you if you're a college hoops fan and have plans to be in the Walt Disney World area this November.

As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next vacation.
