Magic Kingdom with Kids
Maybe it is my generation, but so many of us do not travel with kids to “kid places” because we want to capture the fun, with booze, and not be responsible for small beings. My cousins just did this in October, left the babe at home, and enjoyed the crap out of Star Wars “Galaxy’s…

My First Time at Disney – part 2
Part 1 When I signed up for our day at Disney I expected it to be mildly busy. We went in late October on a Tuesday. Which meant, for this Halloween fanatic, a wonderfully Halloween-themed park and not that many people! NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM Meaning, all of my fast passes…

Disney Planning – Getting Started
I have never been to a Disney Park. A weird admission from a travel and media geek like myself. See my parents didn’t really love theme parks. I don’t think my dad went to a single one with us as kids. And the biggest theme park I had been to before 2015 (I was 24)…

Many times we are reminded that theme parks are for kids. They are money sucks of candy and cartoons and memorable characters and wild rides that make many adults queasy. We are reminded to take our kids to this and that so they have fun and memories and pictures. But I say, hold up, theme…

Adventure of the Week- Amtrak Train Journey
Earlier this month I took a road trip to Iowa to attend a cousin’s wedding. The first half was spent on the never ending drive through Nebraska with my great aunt Jayne, her granddaughter Ivy, and my stepdaughter Lily. We stopped at the Omaha Zoo and made a comfortable adventure of the journey. To return…

Packing for Kids
My mom and I used to fight about who got to pack bags for trips. My mom and I are both type A personalities, and stubborn, and sometimes control freaks (just being honest). Thus, when stubborn preteen me took a trip, she would argue with her mom about what was packed and what made sense…

Baby Goats- Adventure of the Week
It’s Wednesday, and I am here to inspire you to get out and experience life in the simple ways. We don’t all have money to get out of town every few months, but we do have innovation, creativity, and often a lot of inexpensive means to get the most of our lives. In order to…

Mulan
Regardless of some of the nonsense that inevitably comes with Disney movies, this one is still in my top five. The others came to me in my later childhood and adult life. Lilo and Stitch was innovative and hit home to how important family is to all of us and that differences make us beautiful.…
