A huge bucket list item for the Diapers on a Plane Family is taking a hot air balloon ride. We love watching the balloons get filled with helium in the early brisk mornings during the Freedom Days festival in our local town, and then look on in awe as hundreds of balloons take to the skies in succession. Someday...
There are three main restaurants on a Disney Cruise ship. One of these restaurants is Lumiere’s on the Disney Magic, Triton’s on the Disney Wonder, and Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy. They both serve brunch throughout the morning with American fare options, with items like eggs benedict and a waffle sandwich served with dulce de leche and rolled...
Gabriel has been promising to eat the Korean delicacy silk pupae snack, also known as beondegi, since we first arrived in South Korea. Today, was that day!
In fact, not only did Gabriel eat bugs in South Korea, but each one of our kids were up for the challenge as well.
We are going to share with you why you would...
We've been looking forward to today for two weeks. Today is the day of the LDS primary activity in Korea where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints rented an above ground Dough Boy swimming pool! This is one of the best primary activities I've ever been to! It was so well thought out and planned, and...
From the royal welcome when you step foot onboard the ship, to the non stop action filling every moment of every day from before sunrise to long past sunset, debarking on a Disney Cruise ship is akin to having a personal host planning your schedule by your side minute by minute. It can be totally overwhelming at first to...

It...
This was our first Disney cruise and one night in particular, I really was hoping Disney Cruise Room Service could deliver a magical experience for me. Magic and Disney go hand in hand, right? As it so happens, we were even aboard the Disney Magic ship, so this should have been easy.
We ate the most delicious banana creme...
A Cat Cafe in Tokyo is such a purr-fect idea! It's simply a business that takes care of cats, and allows people to come pay to play with them. It's a concentrated niche that caters to one specific demographic of people and, as it turns out, quite a few of them at that!
At first it seemed so foreign to...
Our journey to discover the best Disneyland in the world has been a magical one. A journey that has taken us from the snow capped mountains of the Matterhorn to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. We've traveled over 23,000 miles, over a span of five years, to be able to pronounce: Mickey Accomplished!
Our family has celebrated, rejoiced and played...
Hiroshima is a sobering city that amplifies the devastating effects of what it means to live in a war zone, and how that affects the human condition.
It is also a city that has risen from the ashes, not to forget its past, but to dedicate every day towards the promise of the future.
The city of Hiroshima is also...
