Who knew that Key West was a little slice of the Caribbean just 3 hours southwest of Miami? It makes sense considering it is an island in the middle of the ocean, but I never figured it was covered in pastel painted victorian era style homes, towering mahogany trees lining the sidewalks and boulevards, and friendly pedestrian and bicycle...
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...
There is certainly no shortage of sugar filled creations to eat at Walt Disney World, or any Disney Theme Park for that matter. You can take the fast and easy route by choosing Mickey Ice Cream bars, or cotton candy, or you can step into one of Mickey’s Pâtisserie’s located around the Kingdom. We have three favorites: Les Halles...
The Boulangerie Patisserie at Epcot in the World Showcase is always a must stop visit when going to Walt Disney World. It is a delightfully sweet way to break up adventures, plus give in to your sweet tooth. The Patisserie is loaded with quiche, croissants, turnovers, cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, baguettes, macarons and more, and staffed with adorable garçons...
Two years ago we celebrated our first Halloween at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in Orlando, Florida! Like every other girl in 2014 and 2015, our daughter was 4 years old, and absolutely obsessed with Elsa. She demanded that I be Anna, and we had several princess dresses we chose from for the baby. Our son was just...
Dolphins, Sharks and Manatees, oh my! We joined the Time and Tide Tours in Port Canaveral prior to our sailing on the Disney Fantasy and it was an awesome way to learn about the port and the history of the area. We got to go fishing, see and hold aquatic wildlife, and watch a pod of dolphins swim in...
It’s no secret we love Halloween. It was my Grandmother’s favorite holiday, and she passed on her love for it to me. Our family copied her idea for a black Halloween tree with eyeballs for ornaments, a papier-mâché undead bride sits on our mantle, we’ve already made festive cupcakes with blood spilling out of them, and we have spiderwebs completely...
We were so excited to find this dairy free, egg free, gluten free, soy free and certified kosher bakery at Disney Springs. Even though our family doesn't have any of these specific allergies as a life threatening condition, most of the above allergens are allergenic due to the fact that they are loaded with glyphosate residue from pesticide and...
After seven annual family trips to play at Walt Disney World, we finally made our way to the Disney Water Parks! It was something we’d always wanted to do, but couldn’t quite squeeze in amidst all the theme park fun we were having. The parks opened at 10 am and closed at 5 pm. We figured we could start...
Planning a Walt Disney World vacation doesn’t happen overnight. You’ve got ADR (Advance Dining Reservations) to thoughtfully plan out six months in advance, you’ve got fastpass+ reservations that happen two months out, and that doesn’t even include the forethought that goes into choosing accommodations. Though we are spontaneous travelers by nature, this is the one trip that we plan...
