Since reopening in July, many guests have made their way back to Walt Disney World to a new kind of magic. I had a trip planned for April 2020, which was canceled due to the closure, so I was very excited to get back to the action myself!

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party – Attending When You’re a Person Who Doesn’t Love Halloween!

I’ve never really loved Halloween.  Sure, when I was a kid, I went door to door in my suburban neighborhood trick or treating for candy and loved it.  I always struggled with creating a costume because I’m just not that creative.  My mom is so she helped a lot.  Fast forward to when my own kids were in elementary school – yes, I dressed them up as well and we went on a hunt for the best candy.  But, it was in those years that I became a little wary of those handing out the candy.  Was it safe for [...]

No one wants to sit around the airport waiting for a flight.  After our most recent Disney Cruise, we arrived at the airport at 9:30 am and didn’t board our plane home until 4:40 pm!  Here are my favorite tips for a fighting chance at a smooth waiting period when everyone just wants to be home.....yesterday.  A backpack for each traveler (mom and dad shouldn’t be the only pack mules) [...]
