We have already established that my family is a little out of the realm of average for a variety of reasons. One that I haven’t talked about is the fact that the little one is homeschooled. While I wouldn’t necessarily say that this is another of our special needs, it does make for some special circumstances, and that includes when we travel to Disney. Read more
Even though quick-service meals can afford to be more spontaneous than table-service meals at Walt Disney World, I am all about planning strategy – even for this.
