I still can't believe that I was in Disneyland last month. I see the photos on my phone, and I'm still awestruck that we were able to make it happen. That being said, traveling right now due to COVID is no easy task. Let's back up a couple months. When mom passed away, she made... Continue Reading →
Are you planning your post (or present!) COVID trip? It has been a long while for us since our last Disney trip, and I'm sure many of you can relate! Our big 2020 WDW trip, which we had been planning for a couple of years, was canceled last year, and with the parks (and international... Continue Reading →
Road tripping with kids can be a daunting task. So much so that many people prefer to avoid it all together. Not only is road tripping with kids possible, but when properly planned for can even be an enjoyable experience. It can also save some money, and we love that it elongates a trip!...

My family recently returned from a dream vacation to Oahu, Hawaii. Full disclosure, we did not actually stay at Disney's Aulani Resort, but I could not be that close without taking a peek. Aulani is one of the three "stand-alone" Disney resorts not located near the parks. It is located in Ko Olina, (fun fact,... Continue Reading →
Considering booking a last minute trip to Walt Disney World? Okay, some back story on this post: Danny and I celebrated 15 years of marriage on February 7th of this year.

As you know by now, our family is "all in" when it comes to Disney. A year hasn't gone by that we haven't gone to Disneyland at least once. Until this year. This summer, my family did something decidedly uncharacteristic for us. We did a "nature" trip. But we told our girls that it was... Continue Reading →
Updated January 2020 Living on the West Coast, Disneyland is our home park. It's only a 2000 km drive (that's 1242 miles for you Americans) or a 3 hr plane ride away. In 2016, our family (plus 1 family that is like family) decided to do Walt Disney World (WDW) together for the first... Continue Reading →
I love everything Disney. Give me any park, any day and I will be a happy girl. But doing a Disney Cruise exceeded my wildest dreams. It was by far my favorite family vacation that we have ever done. It was just my husband and our kids and I will treasure those memories until the […]
We recently recorded our very own podcast special with Detour to Neverland and one of the things the interviewer found interesting was how we often go with such a large group. Large groups come with its challenges. Differing ages, opinions, needs... But Disney is super equipped for large groups! Nothing is better than getting to the... Continue Reading →
Part of going on any trip is the anticipation; the planning, and the researching, and the Googling... oh the Googling! Don't forget the Pinteresting! That's a word, yes? I love getting excited about a trip. My family has been watching all the old Disney classics in order of release in anticipation for our upcoming trip. We are all... Continue Reading →
