Planning Your Disney Itinerary: Magic Kingdom Part 1

My list of must-dos at the Magic Kingdom is incredibly long, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one. Perhaps more than any other park, the Magic Kingdom needs a solid plan, particularly if you only have one day (I would recommend more than one, if you can). Like the other parks, you have a huge advantage if you arrive by rope drop to accomplish busy rides in that first hour. Unlike the other parks, however, it’s less clear where you should head first-thing, because there are so many places you could start! Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: How a Ride Wimp Soars to Disney Thrills

I have shared in the past that I am a certifiable Ride Wimp. And apparently, as I have found out since sharing my guilty little secret, there are more than a few of us out there…..TONS as a matter of fact. 🙂  Who knew?

But it’s not like I am *no* fun at all at Disney World. I may be a Ride Wimp, but I can get some thrills at Disney World too. Because really, just because one is a Ride Wimp, doesn’t mean that we can’t have some excitement too: we’re not all slow, boring, “Wow-its-a-small-world-rocks” kind of people! Read more

What is the ONE thing that should not be missed on someone’s first trip to Walt Disney World? (And if you have not visited Disney World yet….what is the ONE thing that is most important for you to see/do?)

As you may have read in my post last week, we will be taking my son’s girlfriend to Walt Disney World with us this trip. She has never taken a Disney trip and she is very excited. This being her first time, I want to make sure she experiences all the important things at Disney, but our “land” part of the land and sea trip is limited to only 3 park days so I have been trying to narrow them down.

Disney Never-Haves and Repeats

There are reasons why seasoned Disney travelers continue to spend thousands of dollars a year at Walt Disney World. There is something about Disney that we all love so much that draws us back.  Today I want to talk about the fact that there is always something new to see or do at Walt Disney World and that even for me, having traveled to WDW 22 times, I have not done it all. The anticipation of our family trips is so very surreal that it almost takes over everything that I do…lol. Read more
