You’ve strapped yourself into your couch and watched those videos of Space Mountain and it’s a small world a few times, you’ve practiced walking through crowds, and you have done your research about the smells, sounds, lights, and effects throughout the parks so that you can feel more in control and be a bit more prepared.

Now you are well on your way to being ready for your magical vacation, but it’s time to do a few mental stretches and brace yourself, because it’s time to make a really big decision about your trip: where to stay. Read more

Planning a Disney Vacation: Dessert for Everyone!

11052028_10155720054565508_6662669420770167760_nWhen I was young, we went out to dinner often – but there were some pretty strict rules: “No appetizers. Drink water only.

Disney with Little Ones: Flower and Garden Festival

12710786_10102010119820834_8807873456292254306_oI had never been to Disney during the Springtime until last May.

We are very lucky to live in a place that is less than an hour from two of the most popular not-in-Florida theme parks on the East Coast and just a couple of hours from many others. If you checked out our collection of season passes you would find that we are card-carrying pass holders to nearly 30 individual parks. So with all of these theme parks all over the place, you might ask, why the need to prepare so much for just another theme park? Read more
