travelmagicstg2015-02-27T06:00:00-05:00February 27, 2015|Disney Travel|0 Comments

Family comes first while on vacation, especially when vacationing with Disney. You may be on an island, far away from the Disney parks, but this still rings true at Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa Hawaii. One of the best things for children at Aulani is Aunty’s Beach House. Aunty’s is a 5,200 square foot club for kids ages 3 to 12. Parents check in their kids to the secure club area and are free to enjoy the adult pool, receive a spa treatment, or enjoy a wonderful meal at ‘Ama ‘Ama (the resort’s signature restaurant) while knowing that their [...]

Disney World is know for its amusement parks but did you know that you can find some of the best food there? Disney dining offers something for everyone, even sushi lovers. Not only can you find prepackaged sushi at many quick service locations, but some pretty impressive offerings at table service restaurants. During our last trip we were able to escape for an evening while grandma watched our toddlers. We knew we wanted sushi, but where? Listed below are the four options we considered for our Disney sushi date night. While this list is not exhaustive of all the delicious [...]

Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort

travelmagicstg2015-02-20T06:00:00-05:00February 20, 2015|Disneyland|0 Comments

What is Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort? I certainly didn’t know until I experienced it for the first time. My basic definition of Downtown Disney is this: it’s an outdoor shopping mall, Disney Style! You will find amazing shopping opportunities like World of Disney, incredible restaurants like Rainforest Café, Tortilla Joe’s and Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen, entertainment like ESPN Zone and street performers. Disney hires the street performers so they’re not just random entertainers trying to make a buck. These are officially Disney sanctioned street performers trying to make a buck, but they’re usually pretty talented, too. You’ll find [...]

Epcot’s World Showcase; Italy Pavilion

travelmagicstg2015-02-18T06:00:00-05:00February 18, 2015|Disney World, Epcot|0 Comments

Ciao! Welcome to Epcot’s World Showcase and the Italy pavilion. World Showcase is comprised of 11 country pavilions scattered along the south side of World Showcase Lagoon. The Italian pavilion is located straight across the water sandwiched between the American and German pavilions. Spend a few hours here and you will feel as though you’ve been transported to the vibrant Italian cities of Venice, Rome and Florence. If the architecture here looks familiar it’s probably because the pavilion was designed to be a melting pot of some of the most famous Italian structures such as the Sistine Chapel, Neptune Fountain, [...]

Oatman is one of the few actual “living” Ghost towns in existence still today. This Ghost town is located in Oatman Arizona and still has many of its original buildings and dwellings. Some of these historical buildings include Oatman Post office, Oatman Hotel, and the Oatman Theatre just to name a few. The Oatman Hotel is where the infamous Clark Gable and Carol Lombard stayed after their wedding in Kingman, Arizona. They loved this hotel so much it is said they returned year after year to stay.

Staying at Disney’s All Star Movies Resort without Kids

travelmagicstg2015-02-13T06:00:00-05:00February 13, 2015|Disney Travel, Disney World|0 Comments

As if choosing from Disney’s many amazing resorts wasn’t hard enough, add in the fact that I don’t have kids and it makes the decision even more difficult! You see, my husband and I don’t have any children (yet!), and while we enjoy staying at Disney’s deluxe resorts, sometimes we want the full Disney atmosphere no matter where we are, and where else can you find resorts that are totally decked out in Disney characters than the value-level resorts?! These resorts are mostly known for widely appealing to families, and since we didn’t mind that fact, we took the chance [...]
