Category: Walt Disney World

Our entire family was blessed with holiday birthdays.  My 11 year old son has a New Year’s Eve birthday.  My 10 year old daughter was born July 3.  My seven year old son was born about a week later and my four year old daughter has a President’s Day birthday.  Even my husband and I…

My love of Walt Disney World began as a little girl (about age 5), when my parents brought my younger brother and I there for the first time.  I remember soaring high over Fantasyland in a flying elephant and diving 20,000 leagues under the sea.  I have returned to WDW several times since then, including…

I have hit a roadblock already and surprisingly is has nothing to do with the running part.  I haven’t even managed to register for the Disney Princess Half marathon and right away I have learned that when trying to organize a group of people who have vastly different schedules, income levels, and abilities to leave their…

It is seen as the top of the line resort hotel on all of the Walt Disney World property in Orlando, Florida.  From its prime location right next to the Magic Kingdom which puts it onthe monorail loop, to its turn-of-the-century Victorian theme, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is the one resort that simply has…

As the mother of two young boys, I am always on the lookout for Walt Disney World experiences that do not involve princesses, fairies, or tea parties.  Although T-Rex Café, located in the Marketplace of Downtown Disney, is not actually Disney owned and operated, it does fit the rough-and-tumble nature of my little Disney Devils….

Going to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is a wonderful place to hold a family reunion type of vacation.  It is someplace that really has something for everyone.  Whether you are travelling with babies, toddlers, teens, adults or seniors, you can rest assure that no one will be bored. The first thing that you need…

I have never been a runner nor much of an athlete, but when I read about the Disney Princess Half Marathon a few months ago, something deep inside of me perked up.  All of a sudden I had full color visions of myself sprinting though Cinderella’s castle, jogging past the TTC, and pushing my tired…

There is so much homeschooling that can be done when preparing for a trip to Walt Disney World. My children are starting 1st grade and 5th grade this fall, so most of the things that I mention here will be aimed for those levels. One of the first things that I had them do together…

The Swan and Dolphin Urban Legend They may not be very Disney looking in outward appearance, but the Swan and Dolphin hotels are actually good choices for a resort. The rooms are extremely comfortable with Heavenly beds and many rooms overlook the water and the Boardwalk Resort, with Epcot’s World Showcase a little further away….

One of the best ‘magical’ moments at Magic Kingdom is at Harmony Barber Shop.  Most guests probably aren’t aware of the real working barber shop in the park but it’s a treasure! While they specialize in first haircuts, they also will give girls and boys…and any kid at heart…a style with pixie dust.  My 9…
