The Dreaded Vacation Task… PACKING!

travelmagicstg2023-10-04T16:19:41-04:00November 27, 2013|Disney Travel, Disney World, tips|0 Comments

The Dreaded Vacation Task... PACKING! I love going on vacation, I really do. But I loathe one specific thing; packing. It’s just the worst. Here are a few packing problems and some solutions that I have learned in my travels. Problem: The Over Packer: A weekend getaway, a week in the tropics, or an overnight stay. No matter what the length of the trip is, I always seem to over pack. I do not end up wearing half of what I had packed and then there is no room to take anything home with me. Solution: When packing, think of [...]

Magical Memories – Dinoland USA

travelmagicstg2023-10-23T16:30:43-04:00November 25, 2013|Animal Kingdom, Disney World|0 Comments

Magical Memories - Dinoland USA One of our favorite areas of Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World is Dinoland USA. There is so much to do there! Our 1st stop is always the Boneyard. Robert has so much fun digging for bones in the giant dig site. Then he spends so much time running off his extra energy through the catwalks and tunnels. After spending some time in the Boneyard, we make our way into Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama. Here the fun continues with rides, characters, snack shops, and carnival games. We have taken many spins on Tricera Top Spin [...]

Fun in the Swiss Countryside

travelmagicstg2013-11-22T07:00:00-05:00November 22, 2013|Travel Destinations|1 Comment

Fun in the Swiss Countryside A lot of times, when we travel, we go to visit cities. We enjoy nice restaurants, museums, theme parks, tours, and hotels. And we have a great time! But it can also be great fun to try something totally different for a vacation. We went to Switzerland in the summertime, and instead of using a large city like Geneva or Zurich as our “home base”, we stayed in Murren, a tiny car-free town halfway up a mountain. It took four trains and a cable car to reach this destination, but the experience was fantastic! Just [...]

If I could come back in another life as Cinderella, Ariel or Belle, I would. My husband will back me up on this. When visiting Walt Disney World, I am the first to “ooh” and “aah” over the adorable mini Princesses that can be seen all over the parks. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique does an amazing job of transforming these little girls into true Princesses. The comments and compliments from the cast members as well as other guests truly give them a sense of pride. It melts my heart. I am always looking for ways to replicate this feeling for [...]
