Walt Disney World is the top family vacation destination, but who says you can’t enjoy it without kids? Here are a few of my absolute tried and true tips for a great vacation! 1.

The Details of Disney

travelmagicstg2015-11-25T06:00:00-05:00November 25, 2015|Disneyland, Disneyland parks|0 Comments

I’m a detail-oriented person. I like to read all the instructions before beginning a task. I usually remember numbers easily and notice little things that maybe my family doesn’t pick up on. Maybe you’re that way, too. I know the Imagineers at Disney are! As I’ve walked through the parks, I’ve noticed the attention to details like no other place I’ve ever been. Maybe that’s why the Disney experience is so wonderful, because it’s so immersive. When you’re in line for a ride, you can look around and notice all the details of the décor. If you’re in the [...]

With over twenty Disney resort hotels the choice of where to stay at Walt Disney World can be overwhelming. Add to that the different view categories offered at each resort and it gets even more mind-boggling! In most cases rooms at a specific resort are exactly the same – the price difference comes with your view.
