Taking the Whole Family to Walt Disney World

You’ve just spent an entire day with your family celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, now do you think you could do it for a week-long Disney vacation?  As someone who has taken not just one side of my family, but BOTH sides of my family to Walt Disney World, it can be done!  It does take some planning and compromise, and it doesn’t matter if it’s with an adult only trip or includes kids, because the memories are priceless.  Now we’ve not yet taken any trips with kids, but are expecting to take my brother’s wife and kids in the upcoming year, so I have more time to plan this one.

It is WAY more than free cookies and hot cocoa! Read more

In honor of Thanksgiving next week, I thought I would chat about one of my favorite treats while at Walt Disney World…..the absolutely incredible turkey legs. These delectable smoked legs can be a great snack for several people, but could also be a meal on the run. Since they are not fried, they are a little healthier than some fast food …..that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Read more
