Are you planning to take a trip to Disney World with a baby or a toddler? Perhaps you are hesitant about going with children so young. I often hear people warn against going to the World with little ones, yet I must disagree with this advice. Our family first went to Disney when our three…

I had the most amazing time during the Disney Princess ½ Marathon weekend!  If anyone had told me a year ago that I would have that much fun running 13.1 miles, I would have laughed in their face.  I never pictured myself EVER crossing the finish line after successfully completing a race.  While I was…

In 2007, we enjoyed our family’s first visit to Epcot.  Our plans were to spend the majority of the day in Future World, have an early supper, and spend the evening in World Showcase.  We had dinner reservations at The Garden Grill for 5:00pm.  However, at about 4:15 we had enjoyed all the Future World…

I don’t know about you but the level of customer service I receive can make or break my day. It doesn’t matter if I’m at the supermarket or at a restaurant, if I do not get decent customer service it can ruin my experience. Disney has mastered the art of customer service and it is…

I am a park hopper. I love to park hop. Whenever we book our Walt Disney World vacation, we always get the park hopper passes. Do I park hop every day? No. Can I park hope every day? Absolutely? Park hopping really depends on who you are traveling with and what exactly you want from…

I take two very different trips to Walt Disney World. The first is the family trip with my husband and kids. We live in North Carolina and we drive the ten hours to Disney. The second is my girls-only trip to the World where my sister and I go together and we fly – me…

I was looking through my son’s autograph book from a few years ago with my kids the other day. This is a favorite past time for them. When we go to Disney World, one of the first things that I buy for them is the autograph books with the slots for the pictures. When we…

As the mom in the group, it is my responsibility to be the MacGyver of the group; I should have everything on hand to fix any situation while skipping happily through the theme parks.  When the kids were little, carrying a diaper bag was a necessity and could fit an endless array of products for…

I recently wrote a post revealing some of our secrets to making magical moments at Disney World.  Our biggest secret actually came about quite unintentionally.  What is that secret?  Hidden Mickey haircuts!  No, not in my hair!  Not even in my husband’s.  But our three sons now get these unique haircuts before every Disney trip. …

Do you have an upcoming Disney World trip planned?  Maybe you are wondering if there are any tips you should know before venturing out to each park.  Our family has taken six trips over the past seven years, with another one booked for later this year.  We have spent over forty days at the different…
