It's ! My favorite aspect of Disney popcorn is that it's dairy free (so I can have it) AND it tastes so good! It's a perfect snack while you're waiting for a parade or nighttime show!

Just announced! ✨ Disneyland Resort's 70th Anniversary will begin on May 16, 2025!

No better year to experience the place where it all began! After my family vacation there last summer, it gives WDW a real competition for my favorite Disney experience. So hard to decide, so why decide?

Still working on that bucket list? Consider Adventures by Disney for all the wonder of travel and none of the stress. Get access to experiences that the name recognition of Disney unlocks. Don't worry, no over-the-top "Disney addict" stuff, just the quality of the brand and the elevated storytelling we all love, all connected with little "wow" moments sprinkled throughout!

The grand opening at Magic Kingdom Park took place on January 15, 1975, and was a party for the ages. Picture this: a 2,000-member marching band, balloons, fireworks, and even NASA astronauts Gordon Cooper, James Irwin, and Scott Carpenter were there.

The success of Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom sparked a galactic trend, inspiring versions at Disney Parks around the world—each with its own unique twist. While no two Space Mountains are the same, they all share that timeless mix of wonder, adventure, and out-of-this-world thrills that started it all in Florida.

"Why should you use a travel agent? When you’re online and you see a deal that looks too good to be true, it probably is. Travel companies don’t give away things. Is there small print you’re not reading because you’re so excited about the price you’re seeing? Do bring any deals you see to my attention and I promise to give you my best expert opinion as to what you’d actually get for your money, and in most cases I can give you better value than what you are seeing online.

Bob and Carol enlisted me to put together all the pieces of their 4-stop bucket-list anniversary vacation so they didn't have to be burdened by planning all the logistics.

Feedback Friday!

I was so happy to help the J Family visit Disneyland a few weeks ago. My family did a very similar itinerary the next week!

I highly recommend trying Disneyland if you haven't been! Summer weather in Anaheim is hot, but not humidity hot, and there's a breeze!

Walt Disney’s fingerprints are all over Disneyland, the original theme park! It is really special to be in the original park that he envisioned.
