Disney with Little Ones: Where to Begin?

12068682_10101924749139364_5277941644728971496_oPeople don’t have to know me for very long before they discover that I am a huge Disney enthusiast. From my pin boards on Pinterest, desktop backgrounds on my monitor at work, pictures of my kids in front of Cinderella Castle on my desk, to hearing me talk about our last (or next trip to WDW) and everything in between, it’s pretty obvious.

Special Dining Needs At Disney: A Wonderful World Of Celebrations

12304291_10207825371619604_8810944546275094841_oWhen celebrating a special occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary, just married, what better place to celebrate than at Disney?

BUT in reality, she really didn’t know the magnitude of being in Walt Disney World. Read more

I’m just a few days from my next visit to Walt Disney World and of the MANY things I am looking forward to, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights are at the top of my list. Partly because this is the last year for them at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and partly because they are honestly, truly amazing in every way possible. Pictures do not do this *spectacle* justice: I honestly have never seen as many lights in one place EVER.  Read more
