The Disney Parks are great for guests of all ages. We took our son on his first trip to Walt Disney World at the ripe old age of 3. He had cut his theme-park teeth on the likes of Busch Gardens just down the road and put in a day at Universal so we figured [...]

Paula Child Swap
August 20th, 2012 Paula I know the title can be a little misleading but you cannot swap your screaming toddler for the nice lady’s sleeping angel while you’re tooling around the Disney parks!! Sorry!

July 28th, 2012 Paula For guests staying on Walt Disney World property, Extra Magic Hours (or EMH as they are referred to by Disney-geeks like me) are a nice little for perk for staying on property.

Habit Heroes needs a little tweaking
February 29th, 2012 Paula Epcot opened Habit Heroes last month in the Innoventions showcase.

November 20th, 2011 Paula The weather cooled off last night and it was nice and comfy to be camping. I must admit that we did turn the heat on in the camper last night. (Not roughing it by any means!! — I commend those tent campers but I don’t think I could do it!) Anyway, I got up early [...]
SpaceShip Earth
September 24th, 2011 Paula A little tip for EPCOT travelers!! I have walked in at the beginning of the park day to see the line snaking around for what amounts to a 30+ minute wait for Spaceship Earth. Granted, this is the first ride you come to upon entering, with the exception of the stroller, wheel chair and cart [...]
