This is my “why”! Sometimes I have to work through dinner and can’t take them to the park. I hope they grow up to realize the small weekly sacrifices lead to our lifetime of family memories. Thanks for supporting my small business and trusting me with your families’ memories.

Check out my favorite mode of Transportation at Walt Disney World! It fits up to 10 people and a great way to start and end your day. Would you like to stay on the Disney Skyliner for your next trip?

Cruising is my favorite multigenerational vacation! Differentiating port excursions allows people to customize their vacation based on their interests and physical ability. There are so many delicious dining choices to suit everyone’s palate. Different budgets? No problem, book different stateroom categories on the same voyage. Days at sea are amazing because you can use a few chairs as “home base” as family members come and go to the plethora of activities throughout the ship.

Let me know if your family is considering a cruise vacation! My services are always 100% free.

It’s true, it rains almost daily in central Florida June-November. Most attractions at Walt Disney World remain open during the thunderstorms. It will mostlikely only rain for an hour or so. Grab your ponchos, rubber shoes and enjoy some low crowds and cooler weather!

02/26/2024

It’s undeniable, Walt Disney World is extremely hot and humid in the summer. The scorching sun doesn’t stop guests from the experiencing the magic, so are a few tips to help make the most out of your upcoming summer trip.

☀️Rope drop and get out of the parks in the heat of the day. Return rejuvenated when the sun is going down.
💦Take time to enjoy the resort pools.
🎬Enjoy the indoor shows and attractions when your family gets too warm.
💧Hydrate! Every quick service restaurant that sells fountain drinks provides free ice water.
🕶️Pack cooling towels, fans, hats and sunglasses to help protect your family from the sun.

Runners and walkers are headed to Walt Disney World for the 2024 Princess Race Weekend. RunDisney events are fun for all abilities and I would love to chat with anyone who might be interested in this unique way to see the parks.

Wine and Dine half marathon will be my next race because I love Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival so much, it’s worth months of training!

02/13/2024

I am still thinking about these Waffles! The Fresh Fruit Waffle with chocolate gets all the rave, but the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle is just as dreamy! Both of these can be mobile ordered from Sleepy Hallow in Magic Kingdom.

One of my favorite things about this job is being able to travel with our amazing team. Not everyone travels like the Bayles Family, and that’s okay! They constantly show me new resorts, experiences, hidden gems, drinks and snacks that I can pass along to other families. Stay tuned as I will be posting some of my new recommendations thanks to my JKT FAMILY!

Disney Cruise Line sailings are currently open through May 2025. Cruising is a great way to experience Disney characters, dining, and service without the hustle and bustle of the parks.

Book a Disney cruise by February 16, 2024 and pay only half of your required deposit on the day you make your reservation.

Don’t forget to allow time to explore all of the entertainment outside of the parks! Our girls begged to spend another night on Disney’s Boardwalk. Addie and I both got to help the performers and made core memories for our family!

Street Performers are at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort from 6:30-10 pm every Thursday- Saturday!

My new favorite PhotoPass location for Cinderella Castle is to the right of hub. Both of these were taken while Main Street, USA was PACKED.

Reason #2 why Walt Disney World is perfect over the holidays (in no particular order): Characters in their festive outfits are so cute and help make a holiday trip extra special!

11/30/2023

Reason #1 why Walt Disney World is perfect over the holidays (in no particular order): The weather in Orlando is GORGEOUS! Weather is never a guarantee, but 60-80 degrees is good for the soul during a Midwest winter!

Kids won’t miss toys on Christmas morning when they have memories that will last a lifetime. I will be posting my top 5 reasons why Walt Disney World is even more magical over the holidays.

Happy 95th Birthday, Mickey! Thanks for letting us share it with you!

Park hopping is about to become much easier! Starting January 9th, there will be no time restrictions to park hopping! This flexibility is a game changer. For example, you can rope drop Rise of the Resistance and scream on Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios before you hop to EPCOT in time to score a 1:00 virtual queue for Gardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

(I don’t recommend 4 parks in one day for most famililes, but it is fun for experienced Disney goers!)

“Do you remember the 21st night of September?”

After getting a Virtual Queue for Gardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, it is so fun to predict which of the 6 possible songs you will rock out to on this coaster:

September.
Disco Inferno.
Conga.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
I Ran.
One Way or Another.

What song will you hope for?

I have more pictures of this child sleeping than smiling at restaurants around Disney!

One of the major tasks I help my families with is finding the perfect dining reservations to fit their wants and needs. Some families want reservations daily to ensure they have an opportunity to sit down and relax for a good meal. Other families pick one or two special meals to plan ahead for but don’t want to be tied down to a specific schedule every day. Sometimes character meals can be viewed as time savers because you get to meet characters and eat at the same time!

How does your family eat at Disney? Do you like daily reservations with a set dining schedule or go with the flow to prevent the hangry or passed out child?

Taste soda from around the world at Club Cool in Epcot! Stop in for free samples and great facial expressions as you compare and critique these fun flavors! Don't forget the Beverly! 😉

Everyone talks about rope drop, but do you know what doesn’t get enough attention? Closing the park! Tansportation stops running about an hour after park close. At the end of the night, lines are usually much shorter than the advertised wait times. You can get in line 1 minute before the official park closes, and Cast Members will let you ride. Some people even get a late night dining reservation to stay in the park late. It’s so fun to stay late and get pictures with the park empty.

It’s worth a mid-day break to stay past closing!

We got to check out a new resort! We stayed at a Deluxe Studio at Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. I loved the grand rustic feel and the kitchenette is great for a grocery delivery and breakfast in the room. This resort is great for families that want to spend a lot of time at Magic Kingdom because the boat ride to MK was so relaxing!

08/08/2023

We had so much fun at Food and Wine festival at EPCOT! If you are going to Disney between now and November 18th, you need to go follow Just Keep Traveling with Kristy & Mike. They are true foodies and are posting fantastic reviews of the delicious booths. You may even see us eating, drinking, or giggling in the background! Thanks for showing us how it’s done, Mike and Kristy!

After 4 years of construction, we finally got to ride the newest attraction in Walt Disney a world: TRON Lightcycle Power Run!

Getting to ride TRON is not as simple as waiting in line. First, you need a park reservation for Magic Kingdom. Then you need to snag a virtual queue at exactly 7am or 1pm on the My Disney Experience App. If you miss the virtual queue, you may a purchase an Individual Lighting Lane to ride as well.

The app will alert you when your boarding group has been called, and you have one hour to enter the grid! I highly recommend testing the motorcycle before entering the queue. It is a unique restraint and you can take your time to learn how to get settled in the bike. Riders must put their belongings in a free locker in the queue.

I can’t wait to ride it again in the dark!

08/03/2023

Despite how many time you have been to Walt Disney World, there are always new and different experiences to try! The following were new experiences for us on our recent trip:
Our first stay at Wilderness Lodge.
Our first ride on TRON Lightcycle Power Run.
Our first Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT.
Josh’s first time on Gardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Countless new food drink and experiences.
Stay tuned for our reviews and tips, it was so fun!

More stroller tips for your next Walt Disney World Vacation!
Cast members will move your stroller to organize the stroller parking area. Put a bright ribbon or bandana on your handle to easily identify yours in the sea of strollers.

It rains daily during the summertime in Orlando. Bring an extra poncho or shower curtain to cover your stroller while you enjoy a show or meal during the rain.

Throw a collapsible bag in the bottom of your stroller. At the end of the day, you can toss all of the odds and ends that have accumulated on the stroller into the bag and still be able to carry your child or stroller.

If you do not want to travel with your stroller, we can arrange a rental to be dropped off at your resort. You can rent great brands like Bob and City Mini and they are very reasonably priced.

We love to throw both girls in the single stroller and cruise across the park!
