Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, family hotel, orlando, florida, walt disney world, vacation, traveling with kids
As a family who has taken annual vacations to Walt Disney World for the past decade, this weekend I actually asked myself: "Why go to Walt Disney World when I can just stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Hotel in Orlando, Florida?" The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort is the vacation. It’s worth repeating: The Hyatt Regency Grand...

When Walt Disney World opened up the new Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, complete with the Beast’s castle at the top of a hill overlooking Belle’s quaint village below, they ingeniously included Gaston’s Tavern. A manly establishment fitted with huge leather chairs, bear skins and deer heads covering the walls, and meats on the menu. It is the epitome of...

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...
Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC, Disney Springs, Orlando, Florida, Gluten Free Bakery, traveling with kids, family travel
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...
Aerophile Balloon Ride Disney Springs, Hot Air Balloon, Orlando, Florida, Groupon Aerophile, creating family memories, traveling with kids
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...

Disney's Animal Kingdom is hands down our favorite park of the entire Disney park system the world over. Animal Kingdom pays homage to the land on which it is built, reverently mimicking the landscapes of the continents which it emulates - so it makes sense that it's the best park Disney has to offer!  Best Attractions at Animal Kingdom The Kingdom...

We’ve been visiting Walt Disney World annually since 2010, and in all those years we’ve never once stayed off property. When you stay on property, the magic begins the second you step off the plane into the Orlando airport. Mickey and his Magical Express picks you up and whisks you away to your resort. You stay on a magical...

It’s amazing how traveling to new places truly broadens your horizons, and expands your knowledge. Not just of worldly events but geographical ones as well. We loved spending a month in Japan traveling from Hiroshima to Kyoto to Tokyo. While we are not suggesting, by any means, that visiting the Japan Pavilion at Walt Disney World compares to visiting...
