Let's play a game...badly describe which ride we started our day with!

Kingdom Strollers for the win! After 1 day in the park, we realized a stroller would be a huge help for us. I reserved this stroller at 4 on Monday. They called me within 15 minutes, asked when I wanted the stroller as they xouldnt deliver it the next day. I told them we would be rope dropping EPCOT the next Dat and wanted to leave by 730. She stated the drivers didn't leave the warehouse until 7 but they would do their best.

When we opened the door at 705 the next morning. Our stroller was waiting for us!

One of my kids was in the mood for all the pictures.

One of my kids pitched a fit then fell asleep in the stroller.

Biggest Disney tip- be okay with going back to your resort for a little midday nap time! Everyone will appreciate it!

Do not sleep on Mission Space in EPCOT! The air conditioning is AMAZING!

07/30/2024

I have literally waited a year and a half for this piece of EPCOT heaven! It was every bit of deliciousness that I remembered!

07/29/2024

We've got the wind in our sails today! We have the cooling towels, neck fans, and O2Cool spray water bottles!

We've definitely stayed cool in Animal Kingdom!

This coconut pineapple bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce at Sabastion's Bistro was 🔥, on point, delicious, to die for, literally all the things!

As soon as we walked into our resort we stayed meeting characters! Ella was so happy to jump right into the magic!

We are 7 and a wake up from Disney World!

I'm getting some packing done and I see that I've packed 8 brand new bottles of sunscreen plus a travel.

This might be a major indicator that I'm a mom of red heads!

07/03/2024

Our little one is always finding new ways to have fun! She's so excited to visit Disney World!

What rides, hidden attractions, or snacks do you think she should be on the lookout for while at Disney World??

06/29/2024

We've got 30 days till Disney so our Go Box is coming together! If you saw my post yesterday, you saw that this box is my secret weapon. I'm a planner and this helps me to not forget anything.

Today I have a little free time so I'm reorganizing and checking off my packing list!

Check out my Friday Favorite Travel Tip!!
Share with a friend traveling soon!

This week for our Friday Favorite we are featuring Katie Johnson with one of her favorite travel tips - "Road Trip Packing & Preparation."

1. Preparation - I start filling a big box about a month before we travel. Any random item I think about that we don't use on a daily basis goes into the box. Any new clothes bought for the trip goes into the box. Any nonperishable road snacks/hotel food goes into the box!

2. Packing up- A few days before the trip I start packing our bags and move all non-food items into the suitcases and rearrange the box for easy access of snacks.

**I tailor the food box to account for what we will need while gone - easy breakfast foods, microwaveable foods, extra juices/gatorade, chips, crackers, popcorn, fruit, and more!

3. ROAD TRIP- The box is the last thing loaded into the car so it is easily accessible at gas stations. Each rider selects 3 snacks and their water bottle to add to the caddy. Have 1 caddy per back row. At each stop, each passenger can refill or change out their snacks. The only catch is that they aren't allowed to eat the salty stuff while on the road trip, only the hotel room! (More salt = more drinks = more stops).

That's it! We regularly take multiple trips per year that are 8, 12, or 17 hours to be driven in a day. We've been doing these trips for the past 6 years with the box and caddy method. Our Littles are 6 and 9. This method works like a charm!

The greatest parts of this include:
-Keeping the foods from getting smashed or lost
-Providing you a place to keep your souvenirs on the way home!
