I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical about getting my money’s worth out of Memory Maker, and consequently very hesitant to pay the $169 purchase price. During past trips, I’d been more than content to bring a nice DSLR and take my own pictures or ask the PhotoPass photogs to snap one of all of us with my camera. The big difference this time was that we decided to ditch the strollers now that our kids are 6 and 7 years old. Skipping strollers was great and very freeing in many ways – but it also meant losing out on a lot of storage space for things that we now needed to carry in our backpack.

Not so long ago we hesitantly made the decision to drive from Indiana to the Florida panhandle – a total of 11 hours drive time in normal traffic. Although this is still several hours from Disney World, I discovered that with some preparation, a lengthy drive is completely manageable. The experience gave me enough confidence to know that if we drive to Disney World for our next magical vacation, we will survive. Read more

We just returned home from 8 wonderful nights at Walt Disney World. One of the surprise highlights of our trip that I wanted to share with you today was Minnie’s Halloween Dine. We postponed our trip by one week due to Hurricane Irma landing in Orlando the same day we were scheduled to arrive, and while we were happy to wait for the storm to pass without us there, it meant losing the dining reservations we’d made 6 months earlier.
