I'm not going to lie, the last 14 months have been incredibly expensive for us, and have been so medically difficult, I've had to focus most of my energies on my youngest son and my business that helps pay those medical bills. Yet, one thing is the same: Our love for Disney. After a recent trip to the hospital for a full scoping, he told someone "I can't wait for this summer. We are hoping to go to Disney, and I just know the pixie dust is going to help heal me."  While that's a tall order for Tinkerbell, the good news is that the (super overpriced) medicines he's having to take ARE he ..read more

Debt and Your Disney Vacation
Disney Magic Mommy Blog

A news article caught my eye, and it was a little alarming. Obviously, the prices at Disney have increased, and on some things, quite significantly. This article claims that of the people they surveyed, 18% of people visiting Disney are going into debt to do it!  While that might not seem like a huge number, it's almost one in five. What's alarming, to me, is that the majority of these visitors might not know there's a way to go to Disney and enjoy it, without going into debt?  My opinion hasn't changed, from the first time I posted this article, that you shouldn't go into debt t ..read more

Disney Parks Edition of Candyland

When I was a preschooler, I had two favorite games, and each of those I could play for hours at a time, with or without others. One was Memory. I can still remember the red and white speckles on the backs of the cards and the little red tray the squares fit into. the other, was Candyland. Being a child of the 80s, my board then looked quite different from the current boards, and was always preferred to me, even over the version my kids have.  Until now.  This past summer, after many years of telling myself no, I said yes, and picked out a Disney Parks version of a board game. The ..read more

DIY Mickey Bars...Fun or Flop?

When I saw these Mickey ice pop molds on Amazon, I had to try them! Mickey Mouse bars at home? What a great idea! There are even recipes to make the magic shell if you don't (or can't) but it in the store. Since one of our kiddos has a nut allergy, we can't do the bars in the park. Well, let me rephrase. If he can't, we won't. It's not fair. So, this looked to be a pretty intriguing idea... Follow along with me! First, you'll gather the ingredients for your favorite ice cream recipe, and put it in your ice cream maker. If you'd rather use store bought, that's fine too! You'll want to let ..read more

It’s no lie to anyone who knows me that next to the Magic Kingdom, where I feel like I’m stepping right into my favorite stories, I love Animal Kingdom.

Tomorrowland Speedway

I'm sure you already knew that the Tomorrowland Speedway track was shortened to make way for Tron. But how much did you lose? When this was shortened in 2019, it was actually the fourth time that the trach had been shortened.  In 1974, it was shortened to make way for Space Mountain. In 1987, for Mickey's Toontown Fair. 2012 it was for the new Dumbo addition, and of course, 2019 for room for Tron. While I don't know how much total track was removed, and it would be really interesting to see how much longer the ride was when it was first built, I can tell you that the ride is still enjo ..read more

Should You Bring Your Own Stroller or Rent One?

This was THE trip that we weren't going to bring our stroller! Little man was going to walk the WHOLE thing! But, little man is also now a covid longhauler, and fatigues deeply. We wanted to enjoy our trip, so stroller it was. But...we weren't sure we'd need it every day, and to be honest, we'd gotten rid of ours a long time ago. We could have bought a cheapy umbrella stroller, but they are a pretty low weight limit.  So, we ended up renting a Disney stroller. I was sure we'd need to do the double, but he squeezed in nicely to a single and let me tell you parents... I wish we'd always ..read more

Recently I was sent a copy of this AMAZING book to look at. It instantly made me think of the places we'd seen over the summer at Disney. I mean, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are just filled with incredible foods from many countries.  This book is no different. Inside, you'll not only find maps (It IS an atlas after all!) but you'll find it's crammed with so many fascinating facts, beautiful pictures, games, and tasty looking food. What's fun is it's also split up by type of food. For example, grains, legumes, fruits, roots. ​It's always fun to learn about someplace new. This book has ju ..read more

Keeping a Cool HeaD At Disney

This isn’t a post about hats! It’s about tempers. It seems that no matter the weather in Orlando, tempers have been hot, hot, hot this year. Have you ever seen so many news articles about people fighting at Disney?  Last month, we saw first hand multiple altercations. One group, in front of Cinderella's castle. Another, right on Main Street. There was another that nearly had my youngest and I in tears we felt so horrible for the kids, as the dad was outside of Space Mountain and absolutely using every word in the adult vocabulary to berate them for: 1. Being scared to go on the r ..read more

Something From Phineas and Ferb? Or the I4 Eyesore?

If you drive I4 to Disney World, it's likely the building above is a familiar sight. Gold stars if you've ever thought to yourself Doofenshmirtz is in there building an inator, with Perry the Platypus about to barge in.  Just the sight of this building, so unusual and unlike anything else around it has always made me wonder...what is this place? We've driven past it for years. The first times, it was open and you could see inside. Later, the windows were added. Yet...even though it looks complete, this building is completely empty! Perfect for a mad scientist!  It's hard to beli ..read more
