EPCOT is our 6 year olds favorite Walt Disney World park. He spent his Saturday morning asking us to look up the flags for each country in World Showcase for him to color. 💙

My daughter made the iced rolls featured in the Disney movie ‘Brave’ today! They were so good (and luckily, no one turned into a bear!)

Did you know that I can book your Universal Studios vacation?

A few weeks ago I joined several other members of to explore Universal Studios including: Universal Orlando and Islands of Adventure parks. We also got to explore several Universal resort hotels including: Lowe’s Portofino Bay Hotel (gorgeous grounds with my favorite pool on property), Lowe’s Royal Pacific Resort (awesome theming) , Cabana Bay (lots for the entire family to enjoy), and Endless Summer Dockside (beautiful family suites at a great price point). We stayed Lowe’s Sapphire Falls Resort and I was super impressed with the amazing restaurants and food choices. All the Universal staff members we had contact with were friendly, helpful and eager to please. Walking paths (everything is close together and easily accessible), water taxis and buses made getting around effortless and quick!

While LOTS of families choose to visit Disney World (one of my personal favorites places!) I cannot stress this enough~ don’t under estimate Universal Studios! While they have great thrill rides, they also have so many areas for little kids ~ something that really surprised me my first time there. Even though 7 of us went, we did not have to pre-plan our specific activities, did not have to rush around, did not have to spend lots of time on an App to schedule the next part of our trip and had a relaxing time just taking it all in. And, of course, visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter can’t be beat!

WDW Family Vacation. July 2022. Our HAPPY place

One of my new favorites… Disney’s Riviera Resort!
Inspired by the French and Italian Riviera, one of Disney’s newest resorts is GOREGOUS! They feature Deluxe Studios, One, Two and Three Bedrooms villa’s (as well as the sought after Tower Studios). It is on Disney’s Skyliner (Disney’s gondola system) so guests are only a short ride away from both Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
Some of my family’s favorites:
1. The numerous outdoor, quiet, shady seating locations! Browse through the album- I took pictures of some
2. Choices at Primo Piatto’s quick service location
3. The quiet pool!
4. Perfect for guests who prefer air conditioning and short walks~ the resort is compact but in no way feels “small” or crowded.
5. Movie under the stars offered EVERY night
6. Lots of new options for craft projects in the Community Room
7. Ice blended coffee at Le Petit Café
8. Fruit Tarts at Le Petit Café
9. Surprise appearances by Donald, Goofy and Pluto (Goofy was awesome at playing Ladder Toss)
10. Proximity to Caribbean Beach Resort which offers additional dining options
This is our “Home” Resort so we look forward to staying here again!

When I was in 6th grade the movie Apollo 13 came out and since then I have followed and love all things ‘Space Exploration.’ I have read biographies and autobiographies by Jim Lovell, Deke Slayton, Gene Kranz, and Chris Kraft. I read The First Astronauts Wives Club and Bringing Columbia Home. If it wasn’t for my fear of having to pilot a plane, my dream career was being a Chief Flight Director at NASA.
This week my family and I visited Cocoa Beach/ Cape Canaveral and went to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. It was amazing! Then on Thursday evening July 14 we watched SpaceX CRS-25 Falcon 9 (ISS resupply mission) take off at 8:44 pm from Cocoa Beach.
