She agreed, and Death Match 2014 was born: Two ladies, seven kids, and a 15-day road trip up the California Coast. Day 9 [...]

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a great option for larger families who still want to stay together in one room. This resort is considered “value plus”, and has whimsical Disney touches and fun themes for each section. There are three sections of suites and one section of standard rooms, but today I wanted to focus on just the Cars section of the resort. When you approach the buildings, you are immediately transported into the world of Cars, and feel like you are in Radiator Springs along with your favorite characters. Just follow the “road” right up to your building [...]
