When Adventures By Disney launched several years ago, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about this new Disney travel venture. I mean, Disney outside of Disney? Really? Last month I had the opportunity to experience the Lights, Camera, Magic tour operated by Adventures By Disney, and now…I totally get it. Adventures By Disney truly does offer exceptionally unique vacation opportunities. Now that I’ve experienced it for myself and learned so much more about how it works, I’ve figured out the best way to describe it to those like me who just aren’t sure what to think.Adventures By Disney takes...

Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! is a family favorite and a must for families with young children. Located in Hollywood Pictures Backlot, this attraction is a dark ride much like Peter Pan or Snow White in Fantasyland. Take a ride in a taxicab headed for the Monster City where a human child has been discovered in Monstropolis for the first time in monster history. Each row in the taxi seats a small party of three. The attraction allows guests to step into scenes from Disney-Pixar’s hit movie, Monsters, Inc. as the breaking news of the child on the...
What’s more American than Mickey Mouse and Oreo cookies? Not much, unless maybe you combine the two. Recently I did just that and made Mickey and Minnie Oreo pops. The pops are a quick, fun, and easy way to share some Disney magic at home. They are something that can be done with the kiddos or can a delicious surprise after a first day at school. Younger children will love the loveable Mickey pops and older children will have fun stirring, dipping, and decorating these tasty treats.

Surprise Treat Bags for Disneyland Vacations
August 22, 2012 in All Posts, babies & toddlers, Jessica, Tips & Tricks for Families, Travel Tips
Disneyland has never-ending options of delicious treats and fun trinkets, which you can spend a fortune on. If you want to save some money, or just make your trip that much more special for your little ones, a fun thing to do is to make “surprise treat bags” before hand to bring with you into the park. The idea is that each “treat bag” has an instruction on it for when the child may open it and get the treat inside. For example the direction might be: “Open when you are waiting for the fireworks to start.” The treat...
Cars Take Flight Toys Review & Giveaway ($74 value!)
August 20, 2012 in All Posts, boys, disney consumer products, product review
Watch out over head, because you’ve never seen cars like this! Lightning McQueen, Mater and many of the Disney Pixar Cars characters you know and love are taking to the sky in the new Cars Take Flight line of toys, books and more. My kids love these toys. Playing with cars of any type is always fun for my boys, but the idea that these cars fly takes my children’s imaginations to an entirely new level. My boys have reviewed three new products from the take flight line given them their stamp of approval! Lightning McQueen Hawk The Lightning...
Lifting off from the boat…one of us is more excited than the other. When it comes to “things to do” at Walt Disney World, many of them have Disneyland Resort counterparts. While they may be larger or have more variety, Downtown Disney, the theme parks, and the resort hotels all have some kind of frame of reference for a Disneyland fan. But when it comes to the activities available on Bay Lake, this is all new territory. It certainly was for my wife and me when we went to The Vacation Kingdom of the World in October of 2010...
Main Street U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom If you’re a “Disneyland person” visiting Walt Disney World for the first time, your first stop will probably the Magic Kingdom Park. After all, it’s the “bigger Disneyland”, right? Not really. They really are different experiences. I remember my first trip there, in 2010. Main Street U.S.A. felt familiar, and yet different–with good reason. There are some interesting comparisons, though, and for today’s Fun Fact Friday we’re going to look at the introduction to both parks: Main Street U.S.A. Size: The Magic Kingdom’s Main Street is wider and longer than Disneyland’s. It...
There are certain things at Walt Disney World that you just won’t see at Disneyland. Here are some of my favorites. In my heart, it will always be the Main Street Electrical Parade–belonging to Disneyland. These birds are all over the Walt Disney World resort–like we would be accustomed to seeing pigeons. Beautiful! An audioanamatronic Chef Remy greets guests from out under a domed cheese tray at Les Chefs de France in the World Showcase at Epcot. When people talk about “Disney magic,” this is the stuff. Rhinos! Real ones, that is. Animal Kingdom Park is unlike any Disney...
I’m a Disneyland girl, through and through. I love everything about it, but must admit that there are a few things I wish that Disneyland would adopt from the parks at Walt Disney World. So without further ado, here’s my list of the top things I think all Disneyland lovers would appreciate having at the Disneyland Resort.1. Pirates League.More than anything else in Walt Disney World, I wish that Disneyland had a Pirates League like the Magic Kingdom park. Pirates League is for boys what Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is for girls. Guests begin their transformation by receiving an official...
