Last year some friends were planning their first trip to WDW. As I was talking to them about their upcoming trip, I mentioned a couple of great photo areas. The mother responded that they were not big photograph people and didn’t think they were going to bother taking a camera. While I found this information…

The Bay Lake Tower experience in pictures
Our family of 6 stayed in a two bedroom villa in Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. It was February 2011 and we stay for 10 whole days. Having stayed personally on Disney grounds 25+ times over the past 20 years, I have to admit this was one of the MOST ‘Disney-fied’ resort experiences…
How WDW Made Me Think About Heaven
On my family’s second trip to WDW, our boys were six and four-years-old. Our first visit had been two years before, and everything had been truly magical. The children were in awe of all the sights and activities. There were no disappointments and no complaints. Naively, I expected the same attitudes, reactions, and dispositions in my…
DREAM-ing of the Spa – Part Deux
As written by my husband, Chris. There was a time in my life when I would have laughed at you if you told me that I’d be a fan of spas. When Jess talked me into trying a spa near where we live six or seven years ago I was hesitant to say the least….
The Princess Crossed the Finish Line
I had the most amazing time during the Disney Princess ½ Marathon weekend! If anyone had told me a year ago that I would have that much fun running 13.1 miles, I would have laughed in their face. I never pictured myself EVER crossing the finish line after successfully completing a race. While I was…
The Family of the Day at The Garden Grill
In 2007, we enjoyed our family’s first visit to Epcot. Our plans were to spend the majority of the day in Future World, have an early supper, and spend the evening in World Showcase. We had dinner reservations at The Garden Grill for 5:00pm. However, at about 4:15 we had enjoyed all the Future World…
Have You Hugged a CM Today?
I don’t know about you but the level of customer service I receive can make or break my day. It doesn’t matter if I’m at the supermarket or at a restaurant, if I do not get decent customer service it can ruin my experience. Disney has mastered the art of customer service and it is…
The Great Park Hopper Debate
I am a park hopper. I love to park hop. Whenever we book our Walt Disney World vacation, we always get the park hopper passes. Do I park hop every day? No. Can I park hope every day? Absolutely? Park hopping really depends on who you are traveling with and what exactly you want from…
Driving vs. Flying
I take two very different trips to Walt Disney World. The first is the family trip with my husband and kids. We live in North Carolina and we drive the ten hours to Disney. The second is my girls-only trip to the World where my sister and I go together and we fly – me…
A Princess in Preparation- The Princess is Ready!
As I write this race day is only a few days away. Earlier this week I had my last official long training run until race day, 12 miles thank you very much! I NEVER in a hundred million years thought that I would be doing this. I have a few more “short” runs, 6 or…
Waiting for Infinity and Beyond
I was looking through my son’s autograph book from a few years ago with my kids the other day. This is a favorite past time for them. When we go to Disney World, one of the first things that I buy for them is the autograph books with the slots for the pictures. When we…
Fanny Pack Packing 101
As the mom in the group, it is my responsibility to be the MacGyver of the group; I should have everything on hand to fix any situation while skipping happily through the theme parks. When the kids were little, carrying a diaper bag was a necessity and could fit an endless array of products for…
