A couple of weeks ago, Walt Disney World opened up a brand new food truck at Disney Springs. This food truck offered up edible cookie dough and when I heard about this, I knew I had to try it. So, I made a beeline to the truck (with what seemed like every other person in…

Top 5 Quintessential Disney Treats for a First-Timer
My best friend and her 7-year-old daughter will be taking their first trip to Walt Disney World in December, so naturally I invited myself along for part of the trip! My friend, Sarah, told me that she’d really like to do some traditional Disney eating (can you see why we’re friends?), and I immediately started…
Brunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe
Brunch is my absolute favorite meal to eat at Walt Disney World. There are so many great restaurants that offer delicious breakfast and brunch options that it can be hard to choose. This time, I decided to visit the Grand Floridian to check out the Grand Floridian Café before spending the day at the Magic…
Walt Disney World Tips From Seniors For Seniors
Age doesn’t matter: Everyone is a kid at Walt Disney World! My parents are largely responsible for my love of Disney travel. They first took me and my little sister to Walt Disney World in 1976. And Disney has been our vacation of choice ever since then. It didn’t take my parents long to figure…
Underrated and Overrated at Walt Disney World (According to Kids)
We took our children to Walt Disney World for the first time in 2010. Our daughter was 6, our son was almost 3, and our youngest daughter was just a glimmer in our eye. Our oldest daughter is now 15, our son is 11, and our youngest daughter is 7. As Disney Vacation Club (DVC)…
Foodie Friday: Snack Spotlight Review of the Amuck Cupcake
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.

On my recent visit, I stopped inside the Main Street Bakery (that would be where Starbucks is, for those…

Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2019: What I’m Looking Most Forward To
My favorite season at Walt Disney World has to be fall; from the decorations to the adorable fall-themed treats, there’s just nothing better!

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…
Early Morning Magic at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney has really been ramping up the special ticketed events in recent years. In May I experienced Early Morning Magic at Toy Story Land. $79 got us in 90 minutes before park opening to ride the 3 rides, meet the characters, and enjoy a light breakfast (one hot entree and a cold buffet). This is…
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….
