This is the type of vacation that requires a lot of planning but also flexibility to change plans on a whim due to moods, weather and crowds. While enjoying our trip with Hailey (age 2.5) and Brielle (age 4.5) I made some notes that helped make our trip more fun or things I’d recommend for next time! I hope you can these tips to help make your Disney World Vacation a pleasant one! Before You Go: Discuss what happens at the airport - This was Hailey's first flight and the first Brielle remembered so I wanted to review some things with them so they were aware on what to expect. We watched this great video from TSA about the screening process a few times (by their request!) and the girls soaked in that information so much. When at the airport they kept saying "Stop, screen and go" to understand the screening process and I think, were more patience because they knew what was going on. ... Continue Reading...

If you are looking to visit Disney World with little kids in tow but aren’t sure what rides would be fun and entertaining for them, look no further than today’s post!

A few notes before you read the list of our Ride Recommendations: Get the Disney World Experience app that lists information like wait times for rides as waiting for kids can be hard! Take advantage of fast passes - Get them for at least one character meet up, but especially those where you can meet more than one character at a time! Ariel, for example, is in a Grotto all her own so you'll wait on a line to meet just her. But Tiana/Rapunzel and Cinderella/Elena is one line to meet more than one princess. I'd recommend fast passes for the latter. Brielle, my 4.5 year old DOES like roller coasters, so I have ... Continue Reading...

Our family of 4, along with some extended family members, recently enjoyed a trip in February where we stayed at a Disney resort and enjoyed a few special meals. This post includes some Disney World Vacation meals we enjoyed and where we stayed for anyone looking for a first hand recommendation. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are Disney Vacation Club members who are pros at these fun vacations! They did the hotel booking and some the character dining selections based on past experiences. Where we stayed: Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort – This beautiful resort was in walking distance to the Magic Kingdom, aka a great location to get right to the park! Other pros: VERY spacious! This was our first hotel trip with both girls and we weren’t sure how the sleeping situation was going to go since they don’t share rooms and Hailey was still in ...
