What Makes a Disney Cruise Special?

I’ve said on a number of occasions that I think a Disney cruise vacation is one of the best vacations there is. Combining the Disney service and special touches with an all inclusive vacation is pretty magical. And with cruises from 3 nights to 9 or more, and itineraries that are literally all around the world, there is truly something for everyone. Even better, by booking far in advance (a year or more) you can have the double benefit of the lowest prices and more time to pay it off! Read more

Disney with Kids: Mosaic Mural Inside Cinderella Castle

It’s almost a requirement to get your family photo in front of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom when on your vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort, but did you know there’s much more to see inside the castle? Unless you’re lucky enough to win a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite or scored reservations at Cinderella’s Royal Table, you may not even be aware that you are able to walk through the castle at all. As much as I love walking through the castle, it’s not something we’re able to manage every trip due to the timing of frequent closures that occur when shows are taking place near the castle.

Exploring Disney: Mickey’s “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade

When it comes to special events – and especially when it comes to Halloween – Disney sure knows how to throw a party. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, held on select nights through the fall at Magic Kingdom, is tons of fun overall, but the crown jewel of it is the Boo to You Parade. Considered by many to be the best parade put on by Disney, not just by me, I promise, this parade is absolutely breathtaking, and something I don’t think anyone should miss if at all possible.
