FastPass at Disneyland/California Adventure Will Help You Go Fast!

travelmagicstg2014-12-17T06:00:00-05:00December 17, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

Most of you know that I love Disneyland. I don’t want Walt Disney World to feel slighted by me, but I love Disneyland just a little more. One of the reasons I feel this way is because of the FastPass system at Disneyland. There are pros and cons to the FastPass systems at both parks, but the system at Walt Disney World is a bit more complicated. At Walt Disney World, you definitely need the help of a travel agent (call me, I’m glad to oblige) to navigate the system. The system at Disneyland is just a bit simpler. (By [...]

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 [...]

Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend Recap

travelmagicstg2014-12-08T06:08:00-05:00December 8, 2014|Disneyland|1 Comment

My husband and I ran the Walt Disney World Half Marathon in January, and when we finished, we swore we'd never do another half marathon. But a few weeks later, we started thinking of ways that we could have had a better run... Things we could improve... And before we knew it, we were contemplating a Half Marathon at Disneyland, so we could earn a "Coast to Coast" medal in addition to the one for our run. And then, in a stroke of great luck, runDisney announced a NEW Half Marathon: the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon! It would be [...]

Located in the heart of New Orleans Square, Cafe Orleans serves up delicious creole-cajun cuisine with a charming atmosphere.

Disney Engagement

Walt Disney World is the perfect place to celebrate big life moments, even the one’s that you don’t see coming! I have countless memories of Disney World but one of my favorites has to be when my husband proposed to me at Cinderella Castle. It was the summer of 2008 and I had been staying with family in Florida when my husband and his family decided to plan a trip to Disney to coincide with the end of my stay. I called my dad when I found out they were coming down and told him it would be great if [...]
