We’re officially spoiled for all other Disney World resorts after our week at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn.

💜 Since Epcot is a quick 5 minute walk from this resort, we could pop in to ride a favorite ride or grab a yummy snack just about any time we wanted.

💜 Kiddos were mesmerized by the nightly entertainers along the boardwalk. We watched jugglers, acrobats and magicians (sometimes from the balcony of our water view room).

💜 If you’re a fan of Club Level amenities, this is hands down the best lounge of the bunch. Breakfast with mimosas, Mickey ice cream bars stocked all day, and the most magical cast members caring for your every need.

💜 Larger families can actually fit in one room! Deluxe rooms here at Boardwalk sleep 6 comfortably, with 2 queen beds + a sleeper sofa.

💜 Is there anything better than a Skyliner ride at sunset? With the International Gateway station just steps away, it’s easy to take a joy ride any time you want.

💜 Treats galore! Grab a pizza, some ice cream, or a slice of warm banana bread at the quick service dining locations. Makes it really easy to say YES to those vacation splurges.

💜 Possibly a controversial opinion here, but I think the main pool at Boardwalk is the most family-friendly on property. It has a great slide, easy sight lines to keep track of kids, and a fantastic activities staff entertaining everyone.

Here’s my take after eating at every Disney World character meal. ⬇️

Are they worth it? Yes… and no.

If you love laid back character interactions, where you’re not rushed or forced to wait in an endless line, character meals are a great way to get those precious character photos and autographs.

If you’re visiting these restaurants hoping for a great meal, you’re probably going to leave disappointed. These buffet meals are perfectly adequate, but there are much nicer culinary experiences available for foodies.

Insider tip: if you’re trying to keep costs down, maki no a breakfast reservation will be the most economical meal. If you’re trying to make the most of your Disney Dining Plan credits, visit for dinner.

TLDR: do it for the characters, not the food.

Seasoned Disney fans: don’t agree or disagree with this take? Drop a comment and share your opinion.

It hits different when it’s their first visit. 😍

I’ve been to Universal many times, but never with my kiddos. Watching them experience the magic for themselves kicks the fun level up several notches!

First impressions of the Disney Treasure:

Well first, let me pick my jaw up off the floor.

Every detail of this ship is freaking GORGEOUS!

It’s the little details… like how the carpet in the forward part of the ship is red, and in the aft is blue to help guests navigate their way around.

It’s the ceiling of Periscope Pub that projects underwater creatures so you feel like you’re 10,000 leagues under the sea.

It’s the rich colors of the Grand Hall and mosaics on the walls around Guest Services, and the artwork in every stairwell that just take your breath away at every turn.

But the best feature of every ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is the extraordinary staff. Their warmth and commitment to excellence is what sets Disney head and shoulders above every other cruise line in the industry.

Make sure you’re following along in my stories to see all the details!

Here’s where to find it:

📍 Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

It’s a quick monorail or boat ride from Magic Kingdom, and the lobby smells alone are worth the trip!

This life size gingerbread house has been a Disney tradition for 25 years - this year there are 25 hidden Mickeys tucked into the details as a nod to that milestone. Add in a 40 foot Christmas tree decorated with the 12 days of Christmas, and this lobby display is a big WOW!

See more gingerbread displays around the Walt Disney World Resort:
• a carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort
• a mini Boardwalk Deli at Boardwalk Inn
• a castle at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• a giraffe and zebra at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Spaceship Earth at Epcot’s Communicore Hall

Mickey wears different outfits at each meet and greet location, so don’t be afraid to visit him in multiple spots for unique photos.

⬇️ Here’s a few of my favorites:

At Tusker House, you’ll see him sporting the most adorable safari outfit. 🦁

In Hollywood Studios, he’s wearing his classic Sorcerer robes. ✨

At Topolino’s Terrace, he’s dressed as a French painter. 🎨

It’s true - there are some free things at Disney, and this one adds a little magic to your special celebrations.

And to be clear, there’s ALWAYS something to celebrate at Disney!

Stop by your resort’s front desk, a gift shop register or any guest relations location to pick up a celebration button. They’ll have specific designs for birthdays, weddings/anniversaries, and 1st visits. There’s also a general “I’m celebrating” design you can customize for any occasion.

Wear your celebration button all through your vacation, and you’ll be greeted by so many cast members and guests sharing happy wishes. You also have a great souvenir to take home!

Drop a 🥳 in the comments and tell me what you’d celebrate!

I’m not quite ready for all the Christmas content I’m seeing today. Let’s hang onto Halloween for a few more days! 🎃

One thing I love about Halloween is that it’s not so packed with expectations. No family to entertain. No gifts to wrap. Just a lot of fun!

Like this post if you love Halloween, too. 👻
