A Summer of Frozen Fun at Walt Disney World
Let's take a moment to chat about Frozen-fun. Perhaps you've seen this Disney film? Maybe you've heard a song to two? {chuckle} My twins already know every word and sing every song {on repeat}.

Discovering your Disney Side
Having never been as a kid, I used to think Disney Parks were just gigantic amusement parks. I assumed it was a similar experience to the fairs that flew through town once a year, only bigger and more permanent. While I was always curious and knew I wanted to go eventually, I didn't think it would ever be 'up there' on my list of favourite places in this world. Then, I experienced Disney as an adult with my ... read more

Winter made an appearance this week in Alberta. Snow. Cold - lots of both. Dinners are more comforting, blinds are closed and the furnace is chugging along. Boo!

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Cabins
During our recent stay at Walt Disney World we had the chance to stay in a new-to-us Disney resort. I knew about Disney's Fort Wilderness Cabins before our stay, since they can sleep up to 6 people and any hotel or accommodation that caters to families of 5 or more are always on my radar. Disney Parks made the Fort Wilderness Cabins in a typical forest setting. Drive into the area and it's just ... read more

Walt Disney World Here We Come! #DisneyHaunt

We'd just had a long day in the parks, the kids tired yet excited to be looking around in this amazing shop. Out of literally nowhere, the Fairy Godmother herself walks right in front of my kids, Isabelle standing next to the twins whom were in the double stroller. She smiled at my ... read more
Dining on the Disney Wonder
I hadn't cruised before sailing on the Disney Wonder, yet remarks from others centered hugely around 'the food'. I knew my family and I were in for superb dining on the Disney Wonder, yet I was very happily surprised at the variety, in food choices as well as where to get that meal or quick snack. Like I said in my previously in my Disney Wonder review, there is a unique rotational dining schedule. This way, all guests ... read more
