A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in Florida, you know it can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a VERY tiring vacation! A typical day probably begins with a 6:30 am wake-up call, and ends with bedtime around midnight, with about 7-10 miles of walking in between! By the third or fourth day, the whole family can start feeling a bit (understandably) crabby, but I have a solution! Add a day to your hotel stay, but don’t add a day to your park tickets, [...]

Sharing the Magic of Walt Disney World

Kelly Russo2021-10-15T10:03:51-04:00September 26, 2021|50th Anniversary, Disney World|1 Comment

Some of my earliest memories are from Walt Disney World (although not all of them are super magical, like when I got my head stuck in the balcony railing at the Polynesian Village Resort). My family visited for the first time in the mid-80s (there’s an ongoing debate between 1986 and 1987). I loved staying at the Poly with my grandparents, ordering room service, and dining with the characters. Even as a little kid, I knew there was magic just in helping others to believe in the wonders of the parks. [...]

A trip to Batuu and the Black Spire Outpost would not be complete without trying the local food! And since I love to eat snacks, I tried them all! Here are my top 4 snack stops at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge! Docking Bay 7 I love chocolate desserts, and I love raspberry desserts; and lucky for me, Docking Bay 7 has both!
