What do Mickey Ice Cream Bars, Mickey Soft Pretzels, Turkey Legs, and Churros all have in common? For many Disney fans, these are classic must-have snacks when visiting the theme parks. Personally, I get my hands on as many Mickey Soft Pretzels as often as possible whenever we’re on a Disney vacation. I love bread […]
On this very day in April 1998, Animal Kingdom opened its doors to the public for the first time. This spectacular theme park showcases and celebrates wildlife and all of the beauty of our world, so it was only fitting that Earth Day was the day chosen for its debut. In addition to providing outstanding […]
Movie nights are one of my favorite pastimes with my husband and kids. When the kids were younger, they were a regular occurrence most Saturday nights, with lots of time spent carefully deliberating what to watch during the weekdays. The most memorable movie nights for me were, of course, when they chose a Walt Disney […]
One of the things we look forward to most on our Disney vacations is the food. And considering that our kids are now all teenagers in the thick of growth spurts and basically never not eating, it is no surprise that snacks and meals are a top priority when we go away. In fact, choosing […]
The first time we ever took our kids to Walt Disney World, my oldest son had one single request – visit the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. He had his entire morning all planned out – he’d go on the ride, see the pirates, and shop for an eye patch and hook souvenir afterward. It […]

This past summer, my family and I visited the beautiful island of Aruba for a one-week vacation. Since this was “just” a beach vacation, I initially thought I would take a more laid-back approach to prepare for it. But after reading through some Aruba travel guides, I started to get the sense that it would […]
Nothing says you’re on a Disney vacation quite like Mickey Mouse-shaped food every which way you go in the theme parks! From the classic chocolate-covered Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar to pillowy soft Mickey-shaped beignets; the warm and salty goodness of a Mickey Pretzel right down to the fan-favorite Mickey Waffle – there is no […]
The sweet tooth gene is strong in our family so, as you might imagine, finding a good dessert while at the Disney parks is always on our radar. And while we each have differing opinions on which desserts are the best, we are definitely always in agreement that Disney cupcakes are a must-do when we […]
Long before the debut of Walt Disney’s classic animated film Peter Pan, Disney played the role of Peter himself in a school play. It was a true family affair, with his older brother Roy in charge of handling the ropes that made Walt fly on stage. He very much enjoyed performing this title role of […]
