travelmagicstg2014-07-25T07:00:00-04:00July 25, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

You know, any trip to Disneyland is a good trip! You just can’t go wrong at Walt Disney’s original theme park! My very first trip to Disneyland was when I was 40 years old. My husband finally got up the nerve to take the whole family and we planned the trip to fit our minimal budget. Since I’d never been to either Disneyland or Walt Disney World, I had no idea what I was in for. We stayed at a modest Good Neighbor hotel. We waited for a shuttle every early morning for what felt like hours. We waited again [...]

Staying Charged at Walt Disney World

travelmagicstg2014-07-23T07:00:00-04:00July 23, 2014|Disney World|0 Comments

We all have gadgets that we take to Walt Disney World like our smartphones, tablets, video cameras, game stations, and fitness trackers! Our smartphones alone consume a lot of juice during the day with location services, My Disney Experience, pictures and videos. It is easy to find that half way through the day you are on red. With a family full of electronic consumers, I have a plan for staying charged while at Walt Disney World: 1. Bring a surge protector Have you noticed that the wall outlets are all over your resort room? And there never seems to be [...]

A Disney Version of the 1950’s: 50’s Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios

travelmagicstg2014-07-16T07:00:00-04:00July 16, 2014|Hollywood Studios|0 Comments

Many consider the 1950’s to be the good old days. Dinner featured home cooking served on Formica table tops in kitchens with black and white checkerboard floors and some very interesting wallpaper. Disney brings meal time during the 1950’s back to life at 50’s Prime Time Café located at Hollywood Studios. The lobby area screams 1950’s decor – from dark wood paneling to vinyl chairs to kitschy knick knacks and figurines. Like most of Hollywood Studios this is an idealistic representation of a bygone era. Once seated you will find the décor spills over into the table areas. Seating is [...]

Top Rides for Teens

travelmagicstg2014-07-14T07:00:00-04:00July 14, 2014|Disney World|0 Comments

Considering a trip to Disney World, but think your kids are too old? Well think again, Disney offers a lot more than princesses and parades that will make those hard to please teens actually smile. Not all of the rides on my list are “thrill rides” in fact a couple of them don’t have a height requirement at all, however having traveled with both tweens and teens these rides are always on their “must-do” list each time we visit. So without further ado and in no particular order I hope you enjoy my “Top Rides for Teens.” Big Thunder Mountain-Magic [...]
