My 5 Favorite Things About Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa

2023-10-04T18:00:09-04:00December 28, 2016|Disney Travel|0 Comments

Location – This seems obvious, right? Aulani is in Hawaii, so how could it be anything less than fantastic. To me, one of the best things about Aulani, is that it is Ko’Olina. This is on the less touristy, less busy side of Oahu. You’re 27 miles away from Waikiki, 26 miles from North Shore, and 17 miles from Pearl Harbor. This means that you feel very secluded and private, but you’re not far from lot of other activities. Food – The food available at Aulani is wonderful. Ama Ama is the perfect beachfront setting for a special dinner. Try [...]

Beyond the Autograph Book

2016-12-14T06:00:10-05:00December 14, 2016|Disney Travel|0 Comments

  No matter where the destination, one essential tool for each Disney vacation is something for your favorite characters to sign. While the gift stores offer many standard autograph books, I found myself trying to think of something different so we didn’t have an entire shelf devoted to them. So like many Moms I went to my two favorite sites: Etsy and Pinterest and here are few ideas we’ve personally tried! Picture frame mat I purchased at our local Hobby Lobby.   Because it is stiff the characters had no problem holding and signing it, just make sure you get a [...]

I know, the idea of taking a newborn, a toddler, a kindergartner, a twelve year old or even a sixteen year old to Disney sounds challenging, but I’m here to tell you that no age is going to be easier than another. But the answer to this question is simple [...]

Saratoga Springs with Kids

2023-10-04T17:48:26-04:00December 9, 2016|Disney Travel|0 Comments

Saratoga Springs often gets overlooked as a great resort to stay in because it is a couple minutes farther from the parks. In my opinion, there are more pros than cons and what is five more minutes of a drive or bus ride? Here are some reasons why Saratoga Springs is a great place to stay with kids   1.) Pools: There are several pools at Saratoga Springs, but our favorite was the pool in the Paddock section. There is a zero entry pool with a great big waterslide, and our favorite, a separate toddler play area that was totally [...]
