Disneyland in Pictures
A family vacation to Disneyland was the BIG Christmas gift this year. Scott had to be there for work, so we, of course, tagged along. The parks are pretty impossible to compare in terms of which is better. Disneyland is much smaller, but much more historical and interesting. They have a great nighttime parade, Paint…
St. Patrick’s Day 2014 at Downtown Disney
St. Patrick’s Day is a big-deal holiday in our house. My grandparents would get really into it and I think celebrating now just reminds us of them. It also helps coming from Chicago where the river turns green and the parade is a big event! The day starts with a visit by the Leprechauns. Think…
“I’m Going to Disney World!”
It’s really one of my favorite parts of the Super Bowl – the MVP saying “I’m Going to Disney World.” It gives me goosebumps every time I see the commercial. I also love that I know the people making it. It’s amazing to think about all the work that goes into making that one moment…
Disney College Program – Friends for Life
I first moved to Florida in 1997 from Michigan. I drove down with a guy I barely knew, heading to a job I had no idea about, to live with five other girls, all strangers. Flash forward almost 17 years (wait – is that math correct?! DAMN!!!) and it’s amazing the friendships and bonds made…
Cronut craze at Disney World
The cronut craze has taken over New York and much of the world. And now the doughnut-croissant hybrid has moved into Walt Disney World! I was lucky enough to randomly find it at Epcot. It’s technically not called a cronut, since that is now a trademarked name. The “Croissant Doughnut” is a delicious doughnut that…
Motherhood is a marathon and sometimes a sprint
Parents are busy. It’s a constant game of Frogger. You have to keep moving or you’ll get run over by a car, a bus or giant log. You learn early on as a parent that you have to pace yourself. Parenting after all is a marathon. This past weekend, however, was a sprint and we…
Testing the new Disney MagicBands
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…
Fourth of July at Walt Disney World
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. …
My love for 98 Degrees (The boyband – not the temperature)
One week from today I’ll be at the Amway Center in Orlando with a bunch of 30/40 something’s pretending I’m a teen again with New Kids on the Block, Boys to Men and 98 Degrees. Honestly, I could care less about the first two. For me, it’s all about the Lachey boys. When I tell…
