With cooler weather setting in, I was more than happy to head down to warm, tropical Riviera Maya, Mexico earlier this month! I was definitely “Magically Distracted” by the beauty of the Iberostar Paraiso Beach Resort! This was my first trip to Mexico, and it did not disappoint! Arrival We spent 5 days and 4 […]

Pick the Practically Perfect Shoe for Your Disney Parks Vacation

Budget Friendly Activities for a Walt Disney World Holiday Vacation
No one does the holidays like Walt Disney World, but lots of the special holiday activities can come with a pretty hefty price tag. Usually, our Christmas includes the renewal of Annual Passes and one on-site stay, which is already a large price tag for a one income family, so we don’t participate in any […]
Pirates and Ghosts Come to Life in St. Augustine
St. Augustine, Florida is about a 2 and a half hour drive from Walt Disney World, but here you can find real-life haunted mansions, pirate ships, and much old world charm. I am lucky enough to only live a half an hour away, but yet, I feel transported to a time filled with treasure maps […]
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Draws Up Fun!
An item on my bucket list is to stay at every resort at Walt Disney World, and I checked another off the list during our most recent stay.

The sisters relocated to their brand new Royal Sommerhus in the beautiful, reimagined Norway Pavilion at Epcot. My girls delighted in meeting the Queen and Princess on our visit in August.

No Fastpass+? No Problem.
Last weekend I did the unthinkable……I spent three days at Walt Disney World Theme Parks without a single Fastpass+ reservation! (Insert gasp of horror!) Our trip wasn’t last minute, either, but by the time I logged on to make them, there weren’t any! And guess what, you guys? We had a FANTASTIC time! Disney […]
Real-life Fairytales, Haunted Mansions, and Adventures in Savannah, Georgia
As much as I love to vacation at Walt Disney World, sometimes it is nice to change things up a bit, and take in what other vacation spots have to offer. Savannah, Georgia is another place that I LOVE to visit, and I thought I would share some of what this beautiful city of real […]
Fan Favorites Return to the 2016 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
The wildly popular Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will be returning in 2016 for its 21st year, and I am hungry now just thinking about it! The festival begins September 14 and will run through November 14. Every year I see more and more faces in the crowd during the festival, and Walt Disney World Resort is […]

Do you find yourself longing for the delicious food offerings at Walt Disney World Resort, but want to stick to a tighter budget? Maybe you have some picky eaters who prefer to stick to their own comforts from home? Then there are the times that if you see another french fry you’re just going to lose […]
