As the mother of two princesses with a deep love of Disney, I have dreamed about taking each one of them on a memorable trip. My daughter. Elizabeth and I had the privilege to sail together on the Disney Wish Enchanted Showcase sailing with Travel With The Magic.

Here are a few reasons we loved our relationship. 1) Tons of togetherness. We spent most of the trip together. Since this [...]

Many of you may have read my article on Planning for Your First Land and Sea Adventure in which I outlined some of the key factors in preparing for a combination Walt Disney World trip and Disney Cruise Line trip. My husband and I planned this trip to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary despite the fact that I’d always had a fear of cruising. I told myself I could conquer this fear and the vacation went beautifully! Before the trip, though, I had some questions. They are questions that you might also have so I thought I’d help by give [...]

Many people talk about cruises as being “all inclusive”, and what is included can differ from cruise line to cruise line, so I thought I would set the record straight on what is included when you set sail on one of Disney’s four cruise ships, and what is an additional fee. Here are all the things included in the price of your cruise: Entertainment: Most of your entertainment such as the amazing nightly shows, movies in the theater and at the pool, character meetings, game shows, kids clubs, deck parties, sports deck, fitness center, and fireworks, pools, night clubs are [...]

I recently went on the Disney Dream with my daughter, my two friends, and their daughters. The planning started months ago during a trip to see Frozen.

My husband and I recently ran the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. We had a really great time (except for the sore muscles!) and that made us think ... There are plenty of races and fun runs all over the United States that we could do, and bring the kids along! Plus, the whole family can "train" together to get ready, so there are even more opportunities for quality time, while helping to build some healthy habits. The Disney World Marathon Weekend is very popular, because it's a lot of fun, and it's a very well-run race series. There are [...]
