travelmagicstg2015-12-02T06:00:00-05:00December 2, 2015|Disney World|0 Comments

A month before our Disney trip, my husband and I made the most grievous mistake. We almost paid for this mistake with our sanity. What did we do? We talked about our up and coming Disney trip in front of our three year old. (Cue collective gasp…) As soon as the first, “Are we going to Disney today?” came out of his mouth I knew we were in for it. It was going to be a LONG 32 days! I racked my brain and of course Pinterest, and finally decided on a countdown chain, BUT I took the ideas [...]

6 Fun Facts about the London Bridge located in the very popular city Lake Havasu, Arizona. Did you know that the infamous London Bridge is part of the original bridge located in London, England? The London Bridge was built in 1831 over the River Thames in England, making this bridge over 182 years old.

travelmagicstg2015-08-05T06:00:00-04:00August 5, 2015|Disney Travel|0 Comments

Serenity Bay is the adult’s only beach on Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. Most cruises on the Disney Cruise Line that sail to the Bahamas and Caribbean make a stop here. You must be 18 years of age or older to even get on the tram going out to this secluded spot. The water is clear, there are gentle waves, and a lot of well…serenity! When we cruise, we like to be on the first tram out to this adults only paradise to get good photos and the best chairs and hammocks (there are very few hammocks). There is just [...]

travelmagicstg2015-07-10T06:00:00-04:00July 10, 2015|Disney World|0 Comments

Disney’s Caribbean Beach resort is a moderate resort at Walt Disney World resort in Florida. What a lot of people don’t realize because they are so busy going to the parks every day, is that the resort itself has a lot to offer! Let’s start with Centertown. This is where you will find the pool area and shops, as well as the pool bar and several shaded tables to sit under. I personally spent some time with my iPad just hanging out at a table one afternoon and it was really nice! If you prefer to relax in the air [...]

Back in February, my husband and I ate at one of Disney’s newest restaurants, Trattoria al Forno. This restaurant is located on the Boardwalk, near the Flying Fish Café. We walked into the beautifully decorated lobby and waited as our name was called. This restaurant serves Italian food, and the theming went right along with the menu. We were quickly greeted and brought our drinks and some delicious bread. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, and made some suggestions for us. She told us that the menus were temporary, and that they were supposed to be getting iPads [...]
