I WISH To Go To Disneyland! Our Magical Make-A-Wish Trip
By Kristi Letsinger Many months ago, when the commercials for the new Cars Land were showing, my son wished to go. This was big. This was the first time that he had ever wished to go anywhere. We began the paperwork and many months later we were on our way to Disneyland. We can’t thank…
Book Review – The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World, by: Susan Veness
I must preface this post with the following: First, I have yet to visit Walt Disney World (WDW), but I am in the early planning stages for a family trip for next year (yay!). Second, this book/guide was published in 2009, so some of the information is out of date. With that said, I really…
Walt Disney World- My most magical place and my place to learn life
Written by Contributor TreyB There is no need for me even to say it. However, I will say it anyway. We all know we hear it, which is why I will say, “Disney World again?!” How many times do we listen to it? Well, each time we make those ADR’s we know at least one…

Magic Between the Magic: Disney Fun Between Trips
I don’t know about you, but I know that I cannot get to Walt Disney World as often as I would like. Typically, it is about three years between trips. As a flat-out, self-described Disney fanatic, three years is just too long to wait to experience the magic! I soon discovered that I was not…
Free Disney Souvenirs & Extras in the Magic Kingdom
Disney World is fun, exciting, magical, and can be expensive. I have heard of people going to WDW and spending almost as much on souvenirs as they spent on their hotel and ticket package! That kind of souvenir budget will never be an option for my family. As a mother who recognizes the importance of…
Walt Disney World – A Place of Magic, Innocence, and Healing
My love of Walt Disney World began as a little girl (about age 5), when my parents brought my younger brother and I there for the first time. I remember soaring high over Fantasyland in a flying elephant and diving 20,000 leagues under the sea. I have returned to WDW several times since then, including…
Disney’s Chief Magic Official
I’m a sucker for a good Disney contest. And when the search for Disney’s first-ever Chief Magic Official was announced, I was all over it. Until I read the rules, and saw that I would have to submit video. No thanks – I prefer the click-and-enter type of competition. So I shifted gears, and waited…
