If your month is anything like mine, December can be summed up in one word: CRAZY! While lots of the added activities this month are fun, all of the stress of shopping, decorating, wrapping, parties, and so on can really get to a person. So, why in the world do I think that December is…

Disney Seasonal Secrets!
Autumn—the weather is cooler, the leaves are changing, pumpkin flavored everything is in season. Even Winnie the Pooh is quoted saying “Autumn!

A Trip Without The Parks?!
By Mitzi Hendrich Our deep love for Walt Disney World began back in 2005 when we took our (then) 4-year-old triplets to celebrate their 5th birthday with Mickey Mouse. It was a fantastic vacation and the first of 10 more trips to the happiest place on earth over the next 7 years. Our first…
Disney Moms Panel – Part One
Oh how I want to be a Disney Mom. I don’t just mean a mom who enjoys Disney, or even a mom who takes her kids to Disney (although both of those are realities in my life). No, I mean a certified WDW Mom’s Panel mom! Every year since 2008, Disney has hosted a search…
The Boma Experience
On a recent trip, my family decided we wanted to have a special dinner together. We were, however, without a car and not really looking for a long walk.

Fantasia Gardens: A Magical Miniature Golf Experience
Have you ever played miniature golf at Disney World? In 2011, my parents, grandparents, brothers, and I shared this experience for the first time at the Fantasia Gardens course.
