My birthday falls two days before Christmas. It is on December 23, the eve of Christmas Eve. My mom left the hospital immediately after I was born to come home to take care of her five other kids and create the magical Christmas they expected to have. Growing up, Christmas was always a very enchanting time in our household....
It was only a two hour wait in the suffocating heat of the Florida sun, the humidity made much worse by recent hurricanes traveling through the gulf. The twins and Daddy waited in line while I took Eclair to play in Dinoland at the excavation site. I only had to double back on the quarter of a mile between...
Our annual vacation to Walt Disney World this year coincided with the International Food and Wine Festival in Epcot. In addition to the 11 countries represented in the World Showcase, 35 additional countries have food kiosks scattered throughout the park with sample food and wine choices to indulge. This was such a treat, literally!

One does not simply go to Atlanta and skip the Varsity. The Varsity is an icon, a celebration, a landmark and an institution. It also serves up some boiled hot dogs, chili and their trademark orange drink to boot. And while maybe that might not sound like much, the Varsity is Atlanta defined. For as long as Gabriel can...
Well, naturally after boarding the Disney Magic, and then the Disney Wonder Disney Cruise Ships, it only made sense to move on to the Disney Fantasy. Bigger, bolder, and better? We had to find out.
While we did want to cross off sailing on all four Disney Cruise Ships, we didn’t exactly intend to go on three Disney Cruise...
We did absolutely zero research before coming to live at the Incheon Global Campus, which really isn’t much different than everything we do. We used our wits and prior experience to help us plan for what we expected to happen and decided to wing the rest.
This is what we wish we'd known before coming.

Please, explain to me how Frankenstein’s Castle is voted Salem’s Best Haunted House? What exactly were the criteria for elements of judging? Are there no other Haunted Houses within driving distance to choose from? Was judging completed by kindergartners? Was the judging based solely off of Frankenstein Haunted Houses? Maybe it was up against other Haunted Houses that have...
Animator’s Palate is easily the most versatile restaurant found on Disney cruise ships, hosting characters for meet and greets, iconic character breakfasts and even Mickey Mouse himself! While every ship has a character dining experience; Rapunzel on the Magic, Tiana on the Wonder, and a breakfast/brunch restaurant located centrally on Deck 3 plus the buffet at Cabana's, Animator’s Palate...
Although the Disney Cruise Ships Magic and Wonder are sister ships and nearly identical, one of the stark differences between these ships is at the main pool. Both ships have the open top Twist and Spout signature yellow slide for guests taller than 38”, but only the Disney Magic has the AquaDunk slide. This slide is appropriately named a...
A trip to the Caribbean means water, at least for our family. We pack just one or two outfits for the trip and plan on spending the entire time in our swimsuits covered in sand. We might leave for an hour or two to get some food, but all that is second to jumping over waves, digging holes in...
