Having a couple of  boys, I get a little anxious if travel plans don’t go as smoothly as anticipated. Patience at these ages (okay, mine too) only lasts so long and car rides become really miserable for everyone when young children are unhappy or bored. 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

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way. I can’t just wake up and decide that today would be a good day to visit the Mouse, and that means that there are stretches of time when I have to just settle for keeping the spirit alive in my heart.

So if you’ve been with me you know that my family had been planning a trip to Disney World for Thanksgiving week, and last week you learned the devastating news that the trip had to be postponed until spring. I’ve been doing my best to process it and not be absolutely crushed, and one way that I’ve done that is to think about our past trips and how they have all be different, but fabulous. One that keeps coming to mind is the year that I surprised the little one with a trip a couple weeks before Christmas. It was truly wonderful and I love the memories that we made not just once we got there, but during the ride as the surprise started to unfold. Read more

The air is getting (kind of) cool. The evenings are getting crisp. Leaves are starting to get that orange, red, and gold fabulousness that happens at this time of year. And pumpkin spice everything is filling the shelves of every store, market, gas station. It’s finally fall!

And we know what that means! I’ll be heading to Disney World in two months!

Wrong.

Yep. You read that right. Wrong. Read more
