Happy Halloween everyone! Yes, I’m well aware it’s still August, but at the Magic Kingdom, the park is in full swing Halloween mode. So much so that they are already offering special Halloween-themed sweet treats throughout the park. On my recent visit, I stopped inside the Main Street Bakery (that would be where Starbucks is, for those…

My Favorite Disney Roller Coasters
The Disney theme parks cannot really be compared to other amusement parks. While there are many amusement parks around the country that deliver big on thrills and excitement, Disney has always made sure that theming, attention to detail, and telling each guest a story is central to their theme parks. And that extends to their…
Why Amazon Prime Now is a MUST HAVE for Parents
I recently heard a parent saying that the different between a vacation and a trip is children. A proper vacation is one you take as adults only and a trip is something you do with kids. I disagree. I think that we, as parents, can absolutely luxuriate in a vacation WITH our children as long as we plan for…

The Other Nighttime Spectaculars
One of the defining moments for any day of a Walt Disney World vacation is what happens right at the end – the “nighttime spectacular.” People will line up or save a spot for hours for some of these shows, and they are truly wonderful and breathtaking. But that’s not what I’m talking about here….
Foodie Friday: Review of Docking Bay 7 in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World
This past weekend, I was able to experience the Annual Passholder preview of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Walking into the land, I was instantly mesmerized. The land is full of great detail that needs to be explored, but as a non-Star Wars fan, I didn’t feel like I was “missing” anything either. I know enough…
