It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of planning your Disney World vacation. With all of Disney’s new reservation requirements, price hikes, and Genie+ extras, many visitors end up spending all of their energy just getting to the parks and setting up their game plan to avoid long lines. That’s why taking a day in the middle of your vacation to relax, spend some time outside the crowds of the park, and enjoy the beauty of the Walt ...

Even though Disney World is by far the best family-friendly theme park in Florida, it also contains some top-tier roller coasters. It does have a couple of sheer thrill rides, but where Disney really sets itself apart (as usual!) is its superior theming. If you’re looking for sheer adrenaline, I’d recommend checking out other amusement parks like Six Flags or Universal Studios (its new Velocicoaster is quite unique). If you’re a thrill-seeker looking for a great balance between excitement and ...

Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park is the least visited of the four Walt Disney World Resort parks in Orlando but has some of the best attractions and experiences! It’s personally my favorite park to visit because the entire atmosphere of the park is beautiful, relaxing, and not jam-packed full of crowds like the other parks. However, there are a lot of guests who don’t quite know how to get the most out of their visit to the park. A ...

What makes lounging around Disney World special? The theming of course! After all no one does theming better than Disney. Each lounge used to have a specialty drink on its menu something that was consistent with the resort theme. In the recent homogenization of the menus, the specialty drinks seemed to go away, too. However, we have noticed a recent reinstatement of some of the resort-inspired specialty drinks. That makes us very happy indeed. So let’s revisit some ...

We all know that it’s nice to dream at times like this when coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the economy. Let’s imagine that money isn’t an issue in order to enact your dreams. That alone would be a nice enough Disney dream but imagine what you could do on a limitless budget?

Everyone has their own ideas of their favorite Disney resort but if money was no object it would be exquisite. You’d probably want to go to concierge and  the ...

Is relaxing in Walt Disney World possible or is there such a thing? If you’re visiting from the beginning of the year until mid-February also from mid July until the end of September. From after Thanksgiving until mid December is when when the theme parks will be the lease occupied. Other relaxing times to visit Disney World includes right after Easter through the first of June. We’ve been a number of times during these periods and have never had a ...

There can’t be many places in the world where you can step back 2,000 years in time and see Roman remains in every direction you look.

Perhaps that’s why, out of all the wonderful places that we would visit around the Mediterranean on the Disney’s Magic Cruise Line, Pompeii was among those I was most looking forward to. It didn’t disappoint, but the weather certainly did. The rain must have seen us coming, as the clouds looked threatening ...

A recent discussion with a close friend led me to start thinking about the role of vacation responsibilities and expectations in trip planning. After this friend booked her Disney trip, she immersed herself in planning. Dining reservations? Check. Park plans? Check. She had a great time creating little surprises for her daughters, reading tips and tricks online, getting outfits and swimsuits ready, making sure everything was as perfect as she could make it before they left. I was excited right ...
