Some people visit Animal Kingdom because they want to ride a banshee. Others want to be able to boast that they survived an encounter with a yeti. But as the name suggests, this park is really all about the animals—and there are a LOT of them to see throughout the park! If you’ve got […]
One of the most magical moments of a Disney trip is when your little ones (or you—who am I kidding?) get to meet their favorite Disney characters. I’ll never forget the look on my daughter’s face as she beamed up at Elsa for the first time. Throughout each Disney park, there are designated spots
I love documenting our Disney trips with photos, which I eventually turn into a memory book when we get home. But I also know that not everyone wants to spend their vacation worrying about getting the perfect family photo! Some families choose to purchase Memory Maker, which gives you access to the photos taken

Before Everest After Everest A lot of times I hear parents say things like, “Oh, we tried Everest — NEVER AGAIN.” Trust me – I’ve had my own parenting theme park moments. I accidentally added to the cycle of childhood trauma by taking my 5-year-old on Dinosaur, thinking it wasn’t that scary. (Oops.)
Space 220 Dining Room By now, you’ve probably figured out that I love food. Planning every meal, snack, and treat is a huge part of our Disney vacations. I get butterflies as our 60-day booking window approaches, and there’s a very real sense of accomplishment when I manage to snag all the reservations we’re hoping
Disney Springs is one of those parts of Disney that many people are less familiar with. Growing up, I knew it as Downtown Disney. I have memories of the giant LEGO dragon emerging from the water, lots of shops, and an open-air atmosphere, but that’s about it. I honestly couldn’t have told you where it
