Crash Course on Surviving Disney World With a Toddler or Baby
Disney World with a Toddler: I’m going to be honest here… Toddlers are hard! They aren’t babies anymore, but there are not big kids yet. They are kind of in the weird in-between stage where you can’t wait for them to grow up, but, at the same time, you keep asking yourself where the time has gone. It’s an emotional rollercoaster all around! So, taking toddlers to the happiest place on earth is no small task. I am past the toddler stage (thank goodness), so I feel like someone might be able to learn from my trials and errors. In this article, I hope to show you how worth it…

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

Kim’s Skip List: It’s Tough to be a Bug
Just because I love Disney, it doesn’t mean I love every attraction, show, or treat Disney has to offer. My skip list is about those park attractions I’d pass up. It’s not all negativity here, though — I offer up an alternative I’d much rather do instead! When it comes to It’s Tough to be a Bug, I’d rather do anything else. Anything. Including sitting and counting back from 7000 by 14s.

Taking a Last-Minute Trip to WDW! (Plus Tips and Tricks)
Last Minute Trip to Disney: Let me start this article by saying, in some of my past articles I have suggested booking your trip waaayyy in advance (like a year in advance if you can), so this post might seem a little contradictory. Although I still suggest booking your Disney vacation as soon as you possibly can, booking a last minute trip is still very possible! I know, because I just did it! It all started when my husband was going away to sunny San Diego for a business trip (we live in CT by the way). Also, business trips for him are very fun. I wanted to do something…

Your Kid’s First Haircut at WDW
Their first words. Their first steps. The first time they slept through the night (my son was 13 months when he finally slept through the night…and yes, I’m just a little bitter about that…). As a parent, there are a lot of “firsts” that we remember. One of the memorable firsts is their first haircut. And what can make it more magical than having your kid’s first haircut at Disney! I find that a lot of people don’t realize this… but did you know that there is a barber shop right on Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom? It’s called the Harmony Barber Shop and it’s the cutest little place! The Harmony Barber is located near the very…

Becoming a Jedi While at Hollywood Studios in Disney World- Jedi Training Academy
Flying in the Millennium Falcon. Joining the Rebellion. Fighting Darth Vader. These are things that every Star Wars kid (or adult for that matter), dreams about doing one day! Fortunately for the kids, Disney can make their dreams come true! The Jedi Training Academy in Hollywood Studios is what dreams are literally made of! We experienced it for the first time last month, and now it is a ‘must-do’ for us every trip. 1. What is it? The Jedi Training Academy is exactly what it says in the name- its a class for kids age 4 to 12 years old who want to learn the ways of the Force. But…
