Celebrating Love at Disneyland

travelmagicstg2014-05-12T07:00:00-04:00May 12, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

Our 23rd Anniversary was just a week away. We rarely do anything big and splashy for our anniversary, usually just a special dinner out or at the most, an overnight hotel stay downtown. And besides, this was not even a “special” year like 25th Anniversary or even better, a 50th Golden Anniversary. But who’s to say it’s not special to mark staying married for 23 consecutive years?! Anyway, I was surprised when my husband said, “Let’s go to Disneyland for our Anniversary!” He knew I’d been itching to go to Disneyland for a while. You don’t have to ask me [...]

My husband and I recently ran the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. We had a really great time (except for the sore muscles!) and that made us think ... There are plenty of races and fun runs all over the United States that we could do, and bring the kids along! Plus, the whole family can "train" together to get ready, so there are even more opportunities for quality time, while helping to build some healthy habits. The Disney World Marathon Weekend is very popular, because it's a lot of fun, and it's a very well-run race series. There are [...]

Disney’s Yacht Club resort quietly sits along the lake next to the Beach Club resort in Walt Disney World. It is a deluxe resort, and a favorite among those who are particularly fond of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, as both are walking distance from this resort. The rooms at the Yacht club are all connected in one large building, with many view categories to choose from. Most rooms come with two queen beds and a sofa sleeper, but there are other configurations as well including keep beds and handicap accessible rooms. The rooms have [...]
