    August 7, 2019 /

    By the time this post goes live, Ben and I will be enjoying part 2 of our honeymoon, down in Walt Disney World, so it seemed as good a time as any to share the story of our Disney proposal. On December 26, 2017, Ben kicked off our Disney vacation by proposing to me. Hopefully by now this isn’t a spoiler — I said yes! For months, and I mean months, before the trip, I knew it was coming, so here’s a little peek into the most impatient 8 months of my life. Seriously. I knew for 8 months. Before the Trip I feel like I know Ben really, really…

    August 1, 2019 /

    We have all heard our fair share of bad advice. And when it comes to a Disney Vacation, there is plenty of bad advice to go around. Now, I am not claiming that every little bit of advice I give is the law and the best advice in the world. Sometimes different things work for different people or different situations. But, I have heard some advice that just leaves me scratching my head. Below is a list of advice that I truly believe is bad advice that you should ignore. (Disclaimer: This post was written before the pandemic. Most of this advice still rings true! But be sure to read…

    Kim’s Top 5 Attractions – Animal Kingdom

    July 31, 2019 /

    The “Top 5 Attractions” series really is one of the hardest to write - partly because picking favorites is always a little painful, but also because the parks are constantly changing! With my next Disney trip right around the corner (less than a week!), I’m hopping in with both feet, though, to list off my Top 5 Attractions at Animal Kingdom.

    Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: A Beginners Guide

    July 18, 2019 /

    *Updated November 13th, 2022: Unfortunately Disney has discontinued Sorcerers. We will keep this article up in hopes that Disney will bring it back one day!* Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is something that my family has only just recently started to get into.
