A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in Florida, you know it can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a VERY tiring vacation! A typical day in the parks probably begins with a 6:30 am wake-up call and ends with bedtime around midnight, with about 7-10 miles of walking in between! By the third or fourth day, the whole family can start feeling a bit (understandably) crabby, but I have a solution. Add a day to your hotel stay, but don’t add a day to your park [...]

Missing School for Vacation: Yay or Nay?

There is always a lot of excitement about having kids start another school year: new lunchboxes and meet the teacher, full days where kids are busy and engaged and soaking up knowledge. It’s exciting for me as a parent; until I start to look at the school calendar and realize that suddenly we are limited on when we can vacation and millions of other families are too. So do you pull your children out of school to travel or stick to the school holidays? Here are a few things to consider: School Attendance Policies First and foremost, check into your [...]

10 Tips for Traveling with Babies and Toddlers

Some of my most cherished childhood memories are from traveling to Florida to visit my grandparents and spending a few days at Walt Disney World. Now that I am a mom, I am super thankful that my parents were able to give my sisters and me those priceless memories! I also appreciate their willingness to do so year after year! Taking toddlers on a Disney vacation is fun, but it can be highly stressful and exhausting! Nevertheless, I have done it a couple of times and learned a few valuable lessons through trial and error. Here are my tried and [...]

Now that travel has picked up, and life at Walt Disney World seems to echo that of pre-pandemic days, it is time to provide some updates to my “Practically Perfect Tips When Things Don’t Go as Planned” blog. A lot has changed, but the magic remains the same. If the last two years have taught us anything, it is to be flexible but, most of all, remain calm and collected. I don’t think we could have ever been prepared to make the adjustments necessary that March 2020 brought, yet here we are. Travel With The Magic agents are still meticulously planning vacations, and [...]

And just like that, another year of helping clients travel to Walt Disney World and beyond is over. I am so incredibly thankful for the more than 70 families that allowed me to become a vital part of the magic of their vacations in 2021. More resorts, restaurants, and experiences returned to Walt Disney World. We saw the reopening of Disneyland and the return of Disney Cruise Line sailings. While protocols shape the magic to keep everyone as safe as possible, it is still there. I was fortunate to travel to Walt Disney World twice in 2021, especially for [...]

10 Things You Will Love About Disney’s Riviera Resort Gondola access to BOTH Hollywood Studios AND Epcot. This resort would be perfect for those specifically traveling to enjoy one of Epcot’s many festivals OR even a trip with an emphasis on Star Wars Land. One of Disney’s most popular character meals, Toppolinos, is located on the 10th floor. Mickey and friends in artsy attire? I’m in! Beautiful grounds with many outdoor activities to enjoy. You will find corn hole, bocce ball, a HUGE chess set, AND plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery. We loved watching the gondolas trek along [...]

While I love Walt Disney World, there is something special about Disneyland. Being able to walk the same pathways as Walt himself is a remarkable feeling. I visited Disneyland for the first time in 2015 for the 60th anniversary and immediately fell in love. Last December, my family moved to Monterey, California. We frequently move for my husband’s job and have had the opportunity to live in some beautiful places over the years. In July 2020, we found out California would be our next destination, and to say I was ecstatic is an understatement. We had been in Florida for [...]

You have officially booked your Walt Disney World vacation; you may be wondering, “what’s next?” With the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, the planning timeline looks completely different from previous years. While the timeline looks different, all of the planning pieces are still there. Early booking is still best: Better resort and room availability Park reservations are required through 2023 I am monitoring for discounts to get you the best price possible. Planning a WDW vacation is exciting, but you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs, waiting for the next planning puzzle piece to reveal itself. One way you [...]
