The Grand Canyon makes an appearance on many people’s bucket lists, and areas in the Great American Southwest can be wonderful destinations for groups of any ages! These are locations that can be as relaxing or adventurous as you’d like, so there’s really something for everyone. Sedona is an easy drive from Flagstaff or Phoenix airports, and there are many great places to stay in this town. Cool architecture, great spas, yummy food, and such a laid-back attitude. You can’t help but take a long deep breath and relax with scenery like this. You can drive around and wonder at [...]

Which Universal Orlando Resort is right for you?

travelmagicstg2014-01-10T07:00:00-05:00January 10, 2014|Hotels, Universal Studios Orlando|0 Comments

One of the best things about visiting Universal Orlando and staying on property is the location. Universal has 3 deluxe hotels located walking distance from City Walk and both theme parks. All three hotels are 4-Diamond properties and offer many perks for resort guests. These perks include priority restaurant and show seating, early park admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, resort wide charging, merchandise delivery to your room, resort shuttle and water taxi transportation to the parks and probably the most popular benefit – FREE Universal Express Unlimited. Universal Express Unlimited is a way for you to skip [...]

Memory Maker includes unlimited digital downloads of all pictures taken by Disney’s PhotoPass photographers during you trip. It also includes unlimited downloads of attraction photos (attraction photos are offered on select attractions at all four theme parks) and photo packages offered at select character meals.

travelmagicstg2023-10-23T16:30:46-04:00January 3, 2014|characters, Disney Travel, Disney World|0 Comments

Whether it’s your first trip Disney or your tenth you know your kids need something for the characters to autograph. While Disney has a wide variety of autograph books ranging from the Fab Five to Princesses, I found myself trying to think of something different so we didn’t have a shelf devoted to them. So like most Moms I went to my two favorite sites: Etsy and Pinterest and here are few ideas we’ve personally tried! First, is a picture frame mat I purchased at our local Hobby Lobby. Because it is stiff the characters had no problem holding and [...]
