A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in Florida, you know it can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a VERY tiring vacation! A typical day in the parks probably begins with a 6:30 am wake-up call, and ends with bedtime around midnight, with about 7-10 miles of walking in between! By the third or fourth day, the whole family can start feeling a bit (understandably) crabby, but I have a solution. Add a day to your hotel stay, but don’t add a day to your park [...]

Hoop Dee Doo Revue – Frequently Asked Questions

The Hoop Dee Doo Revue is a must see Dinner Show while visiting Walt Disney World! It’s a musical, vaudeville style show featuring lovable characters: Claire de Lune, Johnny Ringo, Dolly Drew, Six Bits Slocum, Flora Long and Jim Handy! They sing, dance and joke their way right into your heart! These larger-than-life characters directly interact with the audience and even involve “volunteers” in the final performance of the night! It’s a great way to relax and leave the business of the parks behind! My family really enjoys the Hoop Dee Doo Revue, and I receive lots of questions on [...]

Christmas is my favorite time of year to visit Walt Disney World. The spirit of Christmas is spread throughout the parks and resorts. Holiday joy is everywhere you turn. All the parks are beautifully decorated, but my favorite is the Magic Kingdom. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party is my absolute favorite event to attend all year. This event is so magical and really puts my family into the Christmas spirit. As for my favorite resort during the holidays it is hard to pick one. In my opinion all the resorts are just amazing during the holidays. From the values to [...]

I hear it all the time, “I’m not going to be in my room very much, besides the money what is the difference between the resort categories?” Many people are surprised to find there are a lot of options between them and I hope I can help bring some clarity and help you decide which will best suit your family in both comfort and budget. Value Resorts These are the cheapest hotels on property and offer a basic motel room atmosphere. You have the All Star Movies, All Star Sports, All Star Music, Pop Century and Art of Animation. I [...]

Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside – A Surrey Bike Adventure

travelmagicstg2014-12-15T06:00:00-05:00December 15, 2014|Disney World|0 Comments

During our last Disney vacation I decided that I wanted to take advantage of some of the awesome activities that our resort had to offer. One of the activities that we were able to squeeze into our magical schedule was a surrey bike ride. What the heck is a surrey bike you say? Well a surrey bike or quadracycle is a four wheeled bike that can be pedaled by 2 or 4 people. They are commonly referred to as "surreys,” due to their resemblance to horse-drawn wagons of similar appearance and the same name. You can find these awesome human [...]

Extra Doses of Magic: Real Stories from Real Families

Everyone has a story. Everyone who has been on any kind of Disney vacation has a Magical story. You know what I am talking about; those extra doses of Magic (or Pixie Dust) that make any Disney trip extra special, the experiences that keep you wanting to come back and keep you telling stories again and again. Maybe it was a cast member who went above and beyond, maybe it was an extra magical encounter with your favorite character or a special phone call from Mickey. I absolutely love hearing these types of stories, so I thought I’d share some [...]
