I have a five-year-old son, so the first ride we run to when rope drops at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is Peter Pan’s Flight. If you’ve never been, this ride is located in Fantasyland across from It’s A Small World, and it is very different from traditional rides at Disney World. The ride track is above your head and you fly in a pirate ship looking down at all the popular scenes from the Peter Pan movie. Everyone loves this ride, especially the thousands of guests with you at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. On busy days, wait times for Peter [...]

Ciao! Welcome to Epcot’s World Showcase and the Italy pavilion. World Showcase is comprised of 11 country pavilions scattered along the south side of World Showcase Lagoon. The Italian pavilion is located straight across the water sandwiched between the American and German pavilions. Spend a few hours here and you will feel as though you’ve been transported to the vibrant Italian cities of Venice, Rome and Florence.

Walt Disney World is the perfect place to celebrate big life moments, even the one’s that you don’t see coming! I have countless memories of Disney World but one of my favorites has to be when my husband proposed to me at Cinderella Castle.
