A Disney Proposal – A Most Magical Christmas
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…

The WORST Disney Advice You Should NEVER Follow
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.

(Disclaimer: This post was written before the pandemic. Most of this advice still rings true! But be sure to read…

More on DVC here. You can also read about how we stayed at this resort on a budget. This resort has a lot to offer. From location to amenities it is a great choice. The grounds are beautiful. This resort is very relaxing. I find this a welcome juxtaposition to the hustle and bustle of the parks. First off the rooms are all villas. The rooms at this resort range from studio villas all…

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: A Beginners Guide
*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. I have heard about it before, but never really looked into it.
