Earlier this month I had the wonderful opportunity to do a last minute Disney Cruise Line vacation on the Disney Wonder. Disney has 4 ships in their fleet (soon to be 5!). The Disney Magic and Disney Wonder started sailing in 1998 and 1999. Then came the bigger ships in 2011 and 2012, The Disney... Continue Reading →
After a tough year and a half nothing feels like more of a luxury and blessing than being able to go on a vacation. Make that an adult-only Disney Cruise Line vacation (yes, my husband and I decided to leave the 3 kids at home this time), and I'm still pinching myself in hopes that... Continue Reading →

But if the weather is nice, you gotta go! If it's off season and you still want to get those... Continue Reading →
One of the things we get asked about is "Do we visit other theme parks?" while we're in Disney. The answer varies based on the trip, but we have made time for other theme parks from time to time. We talk about Universal Studios Hollywood here and LEGOLAND California in this post. This summer my family...
