Disneyland…our family happy place. A Grandpa's Perspective By Thomas Gardner (aka: Stress Free Mickey's Dad) I know of no other place that facilitates magical memories like Disneyland. No other place I know provides something for all ages. My wife and I started taking our kids to Disneyland beginning in the summer of 1988 when Erica... Continue Reading →
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, can even be an enjoyable experience. It can also save some money, and we love that it elongates a trip! It also...

Can't stop, won't stop! We are beignet obsessed and not ashamed to admit it. We have made 11 different kinds... from ones you can get in the Disney Parks (like butterscotch or gingerbread) to ones we made up on our own (Red Velvet and Pumpkin Spice). In Disneyland you can find this delicious treat at... Continue Reading →
We've been looking forward to Cruella since it was announced... and since it's been pushed off and pushed off, we are so thankful to say that it's FINALLY HERE! We are not hating the direct-to-Disney+ trend for the new releases of Disney Movies. It will cost you $34.99 CDN (or $29.99 USD) for "Premier Access,"... Continue Reading →
We are often asked, "Which is better; Walt Disney World or Disneyland?" The answer to that question is, 1) varied based on who you ask, and 2) depends largely on what you want in a trip. While we aren't having THAT debate today, we are going to be debating which version of similar attractions are... Continue Reading →
Watching Every Disney Movie Ever Made is no small feat. At this point, we have realized that if we finish by the time our oldest daughter graduates in 2025, we are doing well. If you're sticking with just the animated movies it takes much less time, but add in all of the live action Disney... Continue Reading →
We were inspired recently to make the Blue and Green Milk from Galaxy's Edge. This dairy free drink is on our list of must try treats in the parks! It was one of the things we were really looking forward to at Oga's Cantina for our 2020 Walt Disney World trip before COVID hit and... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but we are experiencing extreme Walt Disney World FOMO right about now! In particular, we hate to be missing out on the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot this spring. Not only were we supposed to be at WDW last year, but we still can't go because we are Canadian... Continue Reading →
