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

With the first snowfall coming down in central Indiana as I type, I have never been more ready for a trip to Walt Disney World. This time around, we added the Water Park Fun and More option to our Park Hoppers. We will be visiting in September and I know from experience it will still be blazing hot down in Lake Buena Vista that time of year. What better time to try out the 2 Disney water parks on WDW property, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach? I’ve never been and neither have my little boys, who will be 6 and 7 by then. So, what do the water parks have to offer our family? Today I’m sharing with you what I’ve learned so far about Typhoon Lagoon.

Thanks to Hurricane Matthew, our Fall break plans changed at the last minute. Instead of staying on the space coast the night before heading out of Port Canaveral on our cruise vacation, we ended up staying one night in Ocala. Our cruise ship’s Sunday afternoon departure was delayed a couple of hours to allow people a little extra travel time. Walt Disney World is about halfway between Ocala and Cape Canaveral and when we put 2 and 2 together, my husband and I realized that we were suddenly presented with the opportunity to give our little boys a special Sunday morning Disney surprise.

A trip to Disney World would not be complete for our family without visiting each of the 4 theme parks. However, time is a luxury and sometimes we may have to make a decision about which park to skip. I often hear that EPCOT is for adults, that kids are bored there, or that there’s nothing for families with young children to do. This just isn’t true – while we don’t typically spend more than one day there, we do enjoy a full day of activities and entertainment. Read more

I haven’t quite booked our next Walt Disney World vacation yet, but I’m getting close and I am deep in the process of figuring out those big details…dates, resort, and ticket type. Since we are thinking about going in September next year, I’ve been thinking about the Water Park Fun & More option. The weather will still be blazing hot and it might be nice to spend more time in the water and off of the pavement. This Water Park Fun & More option has always been a little mysterious to me. It must be that vague “& More” add-on that throws me for a loop. What all is included in “More”?
