    There is more to Florida than Orlando

    May 13, 2019 /

    There I said it. There are more places to visit in Florida than just Disney and Orlando. Florida is just like Disney in a way, there are way too many things to see and do then can be managed in one trip. So, I am going to start a series of posts about places to visit beyond the theme parks. Think about fun, quirky, well known or off the beaten path spots that you may want to put on your list. I know that people who want to visit Disney also sometimes want to visit a beach. Perhaps you are trying to convince someone to come to Disney ( gasp)…

    Rainy Day at Disney: Let’s face it, if you are going to be at Disney for more then a couple of days, chances are that you will encounter rain at some point in your trip.

    How to Keep You and Your Family Cool and Survive the Heat in Disney World

    May 3, 2019 /

    Keep Cool in Disney: I often hear people ask, “If I go to Disney World this month or that month, how will the temperature be?”  And I have the answer for you! It will be HOT. No matter what, you will experience hot portions of the day. Especially if you are from a northern state like me. Anything above 70 seems to be hot. And then there is my son. He is a sweaty mess if the temperature gets above 50. Actually, he sweats no matter what the temperature is.  So here I have compiled a list of things that will help you keep you and your children as cool…

Eat a Mickey Pretzel – We all know calories don’t count in WDW (shhhh. Let me live this lie in peace), so you know my trips are full of treats. I know it’s probably just like a ton of other soft…

    Dumbo – Live and in Color

    April 2, 2019 /

    (I know. It was in color last time, too). Ever since I first heard that Disney was working on a live action Dumbo, I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival, gobbling up every piece of concept art, every teaser trailer, and every tiny clip we were teased with before Dumbo once again graced the big screen. Finally, last Saturday, I got to see my favorite Disney character take flight again, and steal away my heart once more.
