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...
Our visit to Walt Disney World in 2017 fell in between Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. Orlando broke several heat and humidity records during our visit, and we undeniably felt the heat. The humidity levels were at or above 75% a good portion of every day. We were begging for water at every turn and guzzling ice cream that...
Animal Kingdom is one of Disney’s deluxe hotel resorts and truly no expense is spared. From a grand entrance lobby with ornate architecture and art, to incredible Animal Kingdom Lodge Restaurants serving authentic African food, to an actual safari on hotel grounds with views of animals outside guest rooms.
We had an incredible experience staying at the Jambo House in...
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.

You’re immediately whisked into the Royal Throne room where you are presented before Cinderella. Of course you get to meet and talk with...

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...
We were fortunate enough to snag a FastPass+ for one of the two new rides in Pandora - Land of Avatar at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. Nav'i River Journey is a family boat ride that goes through the underground Na’vi passages and highlights a world rarely seen by outsiders. It’s a great ride for the whole family and an...
I did not grow up on Disney. In fact, I’d never even been to a single Disneyland until I was 26 years old! In the past few years all that has changed. We’ve visited every single Disney Park across the globe! We’ve also visited Aulani, traveled through the Mediterranean on the Disney Magic Cruiseliner, stayed at 14 different Disney...
Our favorite buffet at Walt Disney World continues to reign supreme at Boma - Flavors of Africa located in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo House. This is not an ordinary buffet. It is authentic and exciting with foods from all over the continent of Africa. This buffet offers a wide selection of delicious vegetarian, fish and meat dishes served...
