What’s in Your Disney Parks Bag?

When traveling to Disney World with small children, you need lots of stuff.  You can use a large bag, or everyone can have their own separate bag. There are pros and cons to each, but one thing to keep in mind is don’t overfill! One mistake we made was cramming too many items into the kids’ bags. Everything we needed always ended up at the bottom of the bag, so the contents would erupt like a volcano all over Main Street as we frantically searched for that squished granola bar, simultaneously picking size 2T underwear up off the ground.  Read more

Anyone planning a first trip to Walt Disney World Resort may very well become quickly overwhelmed with the entire experience. You’re in luck because so much of the confusion can be cleared up by choosing a travel agent who specializes in Disney destinations. You might be asking which resort? What kind of ticket?

Your travel agent can guide you, knowing your family’s personal preferences when it comes to tightening up those nuts and bolts. Read more

Disney Learning at Home

With everything going on in the world these days, it’s an understatement to say that we’ve all had to make some adjustments and likely experienced our fair share of disappointments. From cancelled vacations to postponed celebrations and everything in between, we’re all adapting to this pandemic in one way or another. Personally, I’ve postponed what was supposed to be my first kid-free (since having kids) trip to Walt Disney World Resort to celebrate a milestone birthday. In the meantime, I’ve also transitioned from a full-time professional who worked outside of the home to temporarily being a full-time stay-at-home mom, teacher, lunch lady, and more.

During this strange season of life, we are learning how to become remote learners and teachers. Thank goodness for the internet, which has an endless supply of ideas to entertain, engage, and educate young students. Since we can’t physically be at Walt Disney World right now, we can bring some of the magic to life here at home and I’m sharing some of our favorite finds so far. Read more

With this in mind, I am re-running an article from several years ago, with a super fun activity to do with your children that is PERFECT for some great family Disney time (and possibly some learning that you can sneak in there as well?) Enjoy and stay well!

As we all know (and regret), you cannot realistically spend every day at Walt Disney World. Whether we are enjoying time at the Walt Disney World Resort, wallowing in post-vacation blues, in the planning stages of our next trip, or just looking forward to the next Disney movie, Disney is never too far from our minds.  Read more
