Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Image
It's still hot outside and school is just getting started, but it's almost Halloween season at Walt Disney World and that means it's time for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is Disney's annual Halloween celebration that takes place at the Magic Kingdom on select nights between August 17th and October 31st. If you've never been to the Halloween Party before, here are the top 10 things you need to know : 1. It's fun for all ages.

I have never been much of a runner. My philosophy has always been "I won't run unless someone's chasing me." However, my husband started running about a year and a half ago. Knowing that he needed an external motivator in order to keep at it, he signed up for a local 5K, which he successfully completed. I think it's safe to say that he was bitten by the "race bug" after his first 5K as he regularly signs up for races now. He would love it if I would run with him, yet he knows me well enough to know that he's probably not going to get me to do it unless he dangles the word "Disney" in front of my nose! Enter: runDisney! runDisney is the official running organization affiliated with Disney that sponsors several running events throughout the year. From virtual events to events that take you right through the heart of Disney parks, there is something for everyone whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner. In this blog post, I'

Disney Resorts 101

Image
One of the most common questions I get from potential clients is whether it's better to stay off-property or at a Disney resort hotel when visiting Walt Disney World. My answer is the same every time: it depends! Every family's needs and desires are different, so it really is a matter of looking at your individual situation to find the best fit for you. But, if the "on-property or off-property" question is one that you've found yourself asking as you consider a Disney World vacation, let me give you a crash course on Disney resorts that might help you better weigh your options for accommodations. Let's dive into Disney Resorts 101! The Grand Floridian is Disney's iconic resort right on the Magic Kingdom monorail line.  The first thing you need to know about Disney resorts are the perks that come with staying at a Disney property. The first and probably biggest perk for a lot of people is the fact that, if you stay in a Disney resort hotel, you get

Things To Do On An Adults-Only Trip to Disney World!

Image
As a mom, seeing the happiness on my children's faces as they experience the magic of a Disney vacation is priceless to me! Disney will forever be associated with childhood and childlike wonder, and it is a truly magical place to travel with little ones. However, Disney World is also a wonderful place to vacation even if there are no children in your party! I experienced that firsthand recently when my husband and I went by ourselves to Orlando for a few days. We had so much fun doing Disney as adults that we've already started planning to come back again for our next big anniversary! So, here are a few ideas for fun things you can do if you're planning your own adults-only trip to Disney World! Did you know that you can rent boats at Disney? You totally can! You can rent a speed boat, book a fishing excursion, and even take a fireworks cruise! You can also go parasailing, tubing, wake boarding, and water skiing! The Contemporary Resort in particular has a great sele

Baking Blog: Princess Birthday Cake

Image
Today's blog post is a departure from what I usually write about. As much as I love Disney travel, I can't be at a Disney park every day of the year (although I would like to be). So, it's nice to be able to bring a little of that Disney magic home through craft and cooking projects. My daughter is all about Disney princesses! She's seen every movie, owns almost every Disney princess doll made, and is working on building up her Disney princess costume closet (so far we have Elsa, Snow White, and Aurora). So, when I asked her what kind of cake she wanted for her last birthday, the answer was obvious: "princess cake." I had promised her that Mommy would bake her birthday cake for her (I dabble in baking as a hobby), so I was more than a little daunted when she told me that she wanted a cake that looked like a castle covered in Disney princess figurines. Fortunately for me, I have a friend who is an ace cake maker who was willing to loan me some of her cake pans

Review: 'Ohana Best Friends Breakfast

Image
This is it: the final post in my series of reviews of the most recent character meals I've done at Disney World! If you'd like to read the other installments, you can find Part 1 here  and Part 2 here . In my opinion I saved the best for last, because the Best Friends Breakfast at 'Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort is easily my favorite character meal! However, opinions are subjective so I'm going to use the same method to review the Best Friends Breakfast at 'Ohana that I used for the other character meals. I'll be rating the atmosphere, characters, food quality, service, and overall value on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. Hopefully, by the time we're done, you'll understand why this is my favorite character meal! The Polynesian Village Resort is a beautiful deluxe resort right on the Magic Kingdom monorail line! Seriously, I want to live at this resort. Atmosphere The atmosphere of the Polynesian Village Resort is w
