Disney Vacation Tips

It’s Spring at Disney and so as happens every year, Epcot is hosting the annual Flower and Garden Festival for all of the ticket holding guests. There is no extra fee for the Flower and Garden Festival, just the cost of a regular admission park ticket. However there is more to enjoy than just the beautiful topiaries and flowers. Like the Food and Wine Festival in the fall, the Flower and Garden Festival boasts food booths around the world showcase. This could be a nightmare for someone with a food allergy – having to see the glorious mouth watering food and unable to eat it. However Disney will not let you down, you can eat at the food kiosks too! Read more

While navigating this path of planning our next family vacation at Walt Disney World, we’ve run into a bridge and I’m afraid it’s time to cross it. We’ve gone in the past with kids every age from 2 to 5 but this time around, the boys will be 6 and 7 years old. We no long own or use strollers and something inside of me is saying “don’t go back there.” How old is too old for a stroller? If we used one at this point, it would be a rental. Shouldn’t we just condition them to be able to make it through a week at the World without strollers? Read more

If there is one thing that I love even more than going to Disney World it is going to Disney World with someone new. Now that we are old pros at touring the World we definitely have a bit of that “we own the place” swagger when we stroll under the train tracks onto Main Street (even if that swagger comes with a few tears of joy).
