Missing Hawaii extra this morning! I can’t wait to share all about our trip on upcoming podcasts, blogs, and newsletters. Soon I’ll start sharing our favorites on here - but for now - I’ll remember my favorite part was these smiles constantly!

Still recovering from the best trip ever! I think jet lag is hitting worse on the end of the trip versus the beginning!

Safe to say we cannot wait to go back to Hawaii and Disneyland!

Travel truly changes you and I am so glad for all of the family memories made on this trip ❤️

We are HOME from our big trip to Disneyland and Hawaii!

Disneyland was such a special destination for us to experience - we're huge Disney fans and it was so memorable to be in the FIRST Disney park!

WE LOVED Toontown - it was our favorite part of the parks! Lots of play areas for the kids and a lot of nostalgia for me and Stephen.

Do you remember when Toontown was in Magic Kingdom in Orlando?

Best. Trip. Ever.

I don’t even have enough words to describe how much fun we have had! The kids wanted to stay forever and I don’t blame them!

☀️We have one day left at Aulani in Hawaii!

So far, our favorite experience has been enjoying the Menehune bridge and Keiko Cove splash pad! The kids have LOVED the water play areas here and we have been fortunate enough to have a Cabana during our resort days to reduce the stress of watching 3 little ones in a water play area!

🌴We've been in Hawaii for a couple of days and so far here are my top tips!

1. Rent a car...and prep for car seats if you need them.

2. Don't overfill your days! Leave room for downtime

3. Eat local! We have loved trying new foods and local cuisine here!

Ok - let's talk JETLAG!

This is something I was worried about when planning a 6 hour flight from BWI to LAX, then from LAX to HNL...with my 5yo, 3yo, and 1 yo.

So far, we've been SO excited it hasn't been too much of an issue! The first few days we've tried to stay up late and go to bed closer to our 'regular time' in our 'new time...'

We have definitely been getting up early in Hawaii, but I don't mind it! We can take nice walks and enjoy the quiet as we prep for the day!

WE MADE IT! Many hours of travel but we are in Disneyland 😍

The plane ride from BWI to LAX with a 5, 3, and 1 year old was not fun…and we get to do it again in a few days 🫠

It is already worth it though - we love it here! Off to the pool!

TOMORROW we head to Disneyland & Aulani! We will be gone for 10 days!

A few last minute thoughts…

- We are bringing Mia’s car seat + 2 travel car seats (this took a lot of research…)
- We are renting a car in Hawaii
- Transfers from LAX to Disneyland are not as simple as WDW (or maybe just bc we are novice!)
- WE ARE SO EXCITED!

I absolutely cannot wait to feel the magic of Disneyland - this is what I am MOST excited for!

Airplane rides with kids just does NOT sound fun…but here’s how I make it manageable:

- Reusable Sticker books
- Mess free markers and paper
- Dry erase activity books
- Snacks. So many snacks.
- Lollipops for takeoff
- Tablets and headphones with movies downloaded
- Play-doh sensory kit
- …hope they nap.

…and have the lowest of the lowest expectations :)

I like to send small activity packs to clients with kids that will be flying to their destination! As a travel advisor, I enjoy sending small gifts to clients as they prepare for their trips!
