Recently, Disney announced that with the reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort comes changes like temporarily suspending character experiences and fireworks, as well as shortened park hours. Does this mean the magic is gone? We don’t think so, and here’s why…    It’s hard for us adults to wrap our minds around (and sometimes justify) taking our kiddos to Disney for the first time anytime soon due to all of these changes.

Bringing Back the Magic

2020-06-02T08:55:47-04:00June 2, 2020|Uncategorized|0 Comments

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Villains After Hours event at Magic Kingdom (so much fun!).

It was originally opened in August 1997, boasting a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and American Southwest cultures. After living in New Mexico for six years, I can say the theming of the main [...]
