Disney with Little Ones: How Old is Too Old For a Stroller?

1097189_10101937237682224_7397468992761235270_oMy children have been to Walt Disney World two times so far: at ages 2 and 3 and again at 4 and 5. When we go back, they’ll be…you guessed it… ages 6 and 7. In planning our previous trips, the strollers were a no brainer but 6 and 7 year olds might look a little ridiculous in strollers that were intended for toddlers. My kids no longer use a stroller any other time – we don’t use it because they are lazy. Long days in the parks can be taxing on short little legs.

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. Because of my widely know love for all things Disney, I get asked a certain question quite often. 

“Hey – we’re thinking about going to Disney. Where do we start?”  Read more

12304291_10207825371619604_8810944546275094841_oWhen celebrating a special occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary, just married, what better place to celebrate than at Disney? As I’m sure you’ve heard many times over, if you are celebrating while visiting the Happiest Place On Earth, be sure to grab a pin that tells everyone what it is you’re celebrating.

Especially when it means you can eat even more allergy free deliciousness. Read more
