How We Traveled for Free this Fall
This article is going to give you the quick and dirty of how my family of four took a five-day vacation to Mexico this fall for free.

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is one of 3 deluxe resorts (the other 2 are Yacht Club and Beach Club) nestled around Crescent Lake between Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot.

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.
