How To Budget And Pay For Your Disney Vacation

As die-hard Disney fans, my family has been to Disney World more ways than I can count. Not times. Ways. You see, a trip to Disney World (or Disneyland) isn’t cheap.

The Best Hot Chocolate Ever (aka, How You Can Consume 27,000 Caloriesin a Weekend While Staying at a Disney Resort’s Concierge Level)

I don’t know about you, but every Disney trip I’ve been on is the best diet ever! I go, eat pretty much whatever I want, and then *poof* come back from my vacation 10 lbs lighter. It’s amazing! Well, that is, until my last visit, when I came back a pound worse. How does that […]

Service Review: Special Dietary Needs

Service Review: Special Dietary Needs

Let’s say you’re in your hometown about to go out to eat, and someone in your party has a food allergy. What do you do? Bring your own food for them? Limit them to just one or two items to choose from? Or tell them where you’re going in advance so they have plenty of […]

The First and the Last

One of my favorite things to do is people watch. There’s something settling about losing all sense of time while sitting on a park bench as people stroll by. Disney World is no different. Today I had the fortunate pleasure of being one of the first ones in the Magic Kingdom, and one of the […]

To-Do List, Mission: Mouse Style

When it comes to making lists, I’ll be the first to tell you, I’m the bomb! (I didn’t say accomplishing the things on the list, just making the list.) Normally, I don’t have a to-do list when I go to Disney World.  Our family picks one or two things we’ve never done before, and at […]

The Art of Over-Communicating

The Art of Over-Communicating

Each day, I learn something new from a client. I like to think that I am the one educating you, but more often than not, you end up educating me! This week’s lesson came from Heather, who is admittedly, a bit OCD when it comes to her travel. Thanks to her needs, I have found myself OVER-communicating to ALL of […]
