The MyMagic+ experience is alive and testing at Walt Disney World…and I had the chance to take them for a test run this week! Disney does a great job of testing stuff with cast members before really rolling them out to the public. I was able to be a part of the test due to…
We had a great fourth of July!! We didn’t even really celebrate on the 4th – we decided to hit Disney’s Polynesian Resort on the 3rd for the fireworks. If you didn’t know, that’s the best place to watch the fireworks! First, the Polynesian has food and alcohol! The view from the beach is amazing. …
Ah…vacation. You never last as long as I would like. It’s our annual vacation spot. One week in a rental house on the beach. It’s perfect. I just wish it would last longer. Days are filled with bike rides, fishing, eating, drinking and pooling. That’s about it. There’s a great spot the boys love to…
Marco Island is one of our favorite vacation spots. I used to come here as a kid, as my aunt and her (much older children) also lived on the island. As an adult, it just randomly happened that my in-laws friends have a house to rent on the island, and it turned into our family…
I’m on vacation. I’ve been here for 24 hours and I’ve already read two books. Now that’s what I call vacation! While we are here at the beach, we basically sit by the pool all day, play, drink, eat and read. So it’s important I find good books. What normally happens is that I get…
There are few things I enjoy more than a morning bike ride where I can explore. I get bored with the same old, but love to ride and find new places, trails and adventures. We recently went camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. We’ve gone before, but this is the first time I’ve brought my…
I don’t think I was put on this earth to camp. I mean, I can do it and actually don’t mind it. And by camping I mean I sleep in a tent, use a real bathroom and have access to food cooked for me. We camped for one night with the Cub Scouts- and that…
It’s hard to believe another school year has come to an end. It’s also the time of year that I consider becoming a teacher because I would love a summer off! Our school year ended with the typical rush of activities, parties and running around trying to get gifts. It also ended with some happy…and…
I’m thrilled to have a new lunch place in downtown Orlando. And a great one at that!! The decor is very stylish. A lot of wood, a lot of funky light fixtures and a beautiful looking bar. I like that it’s very open to the outside and just overall feels very comfortable. We started with…
My husband and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary this year. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been married that long. So I thought it would be great to look at our wedding photos. Since we got married in 2000, smartphones and videos weren’t around at all. And it was way before social media…
