We took our first big family Walt Disney World vacation when our kids were 2 and 3 years old. My family of 4 was joined by my sister-in-law, her husband, and their 8 year old, my mom, and my mother- and father-in-law.

There was a lot I wanted to see and do on our recent visit to Walt Disney World and much of it had to do with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Super cool rides, character interactions, amazing details (Disney Imagineers, you all are totally incredible!), fun shops, and interesting (and delicious) food and drinks – all of this can be found at the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu (which is the actual name of the Galaxy’s Edge area).

We greatly enjoyed both of them, but it is Rise of the Resistance that is the latest Disney attraction that is getting all of the buzz, and is causing the most discussion online, as this incredible ride has a unique process for riding it. And that’s what I am going to discuss today. Read more

Who says Walt Disney World is only for kids? As it turns out, plenty of adults feel this way and miss out on what could truly be the vacation of a lifetime.

There are countless opportunities for adults without children (as well as parents in need of a kid-free vacation) to enjoy while visiting. Read more
