Disneyland for the Walt Disney World Girl

Disneyland for the Walt Disney World Girl

We have always been a Disney World family. Living in Georgia, we can drive to Disney World in just about 7 hours. We try to visit Mickey at least once a year. A few years ago, in the summer of 2012, we decided to visit Disneyland. Our family was so excited, but we received quite a bit of "advice" from friends. We were told more than once that we would be disappointed with Disneyland. Disappointed by a visit to see Walt's original dream?? I knew it couldn't happen. But I was a tiny bit worried after hearing that from more [...]

Family Options for Your “Day Off” at Walt Disney World

Family Options for Your “Day Off” at Walt Disney World

When you think of Disney, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? For most people it’s Mickey Mouse, castles, princesses and roller coasters. When you go to Walt Disney World, you go for the theme parks. The rides, the characters and the dining are what Disney is all about. But what about on those days when you don’t want to go to the theme parks? What can you do then?? During any Walt Disney World vacation, I always recommend that my clients spend at least one day away from the theme parks, to discover all of the other [...]

Character Dining at Walt Disney World

Character Dining at Walt Disney World

Dining is a very important part of your experience at Disney World. One of the best ways to enjoy your dining is to reserve a character meal, either in the parks or in the resorts of Disney. This is a great way to let your family get a chance to meet their favorite characters without having to wait in line with their autograph book. As you leisurely eat your meal, the characters will come around to your table to meet you personally! How much fun is that!! They will sign your autograph books and pose for a picture before moving [...]

What Exactly is an All-Inclusive Vacation??

What Exactly is an All-Inclusive Vacation??

Beaches resorts are perfect for families! The all-inclusive vacation is probably my favorite type of vacation. And I love doing most (if not all) of my planning before the trip even begins, so I can just relax and enjoy the resort when I arrive. I don't want to have to worry about budgeting for things like food, drinks, or fun during the day. If you love the beach, you'll get to experience some of the best beaches in the world at an all-inclusive resort. With an all-inclusive vacation, your room, food and drinks are all included in your package [...]

What’s So Special About a Disney Vacation Specialist?

What’s So Special About a Disney Vacation Specialist?

I am sometimes asked the question “Why should I use a Disney vacation Specialist to plan my trip?? Can’t I just plan the trip myself?” For some people, the answer is yes, you can plan it yourself. There are some people that find joy in dealing with all of the details and decisions of taking a vacation. For most people though, it can make your vision go blurry to look at the internet or brochures for the hours needed to really understand everything about Disney World, Disneyland or the Disney Cruise Line. It can be very overwhelming trying to decide [...]

When is the “Best” Time to go to Walt Disney World?

When is the “Best” Time to go to Walt Disney World?

I often get that question from my clients. When is the best time to visit Walt Disney World?? As a Disney Vacation Specialist, they expect me to have that answer for them right away. But the answer to that is not that easy. It really does depend on the family. Are they looking for the least expensive time to go? The least crowded? The best discount offers? The best time when school is out?? There are answers to that question though. If you have small children that aren't in school yet, or if you're traveling to Walt Disney World [...]
