If you’re planning your first trip to Disney World with kids, figuring out where to eat can feel like a full-time job. From booking dining reservations and navigating the dining plan, to understanding how meals affect your Lightning Lane options, there’s a lot of noise out there—and not all of it is helpful. In this […]

Now that the Happily Ever After firework show is back in Magic Kingdom (squeals), you may be thinking about adding a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party to make your night feel more special. Coming from a “never skip the fireworks” family, I know my options when it comes to watching fireworks in Magic Kingdom: That […]

it’s no wonder “how to stay cool in Disney World” is the fiirst thing we wonder during summer travel. Orlando’s weather has it’s perks (hello, palm trees), but the summer can admittedly feel brutal between the temperature, sun intensity, and my wavy hair’s arch nemesis: HUMIDITY.

My Ideal Day in Animal Kingdom with Kids Out of all the parks in Walt Disney World, Animal Kingdom is the one I crave. Like the midnight craving of microwave popcorn AND an ice cream Snickers all at once. The craveability for me? Because it’s CHILL. Animal Kingdom shows up late, in denim cut offs, […]

Going to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, or as the experts say “MVMCP”? If not this year, maybe you’re thinking about getting tickets in 2023? One of my OG Laid-back Magic members (for real, I love her) just got back from Walt Disney World and had lots to say about the party.

On our last family vacation, my daughter was getting down to the nubs of her new colored pencils. The always-prepared-one in our family whipped out a pencil sharpener and looked at me like, what…you don’t carry a pencil sharpener around? Truth is, I wish I was that always-prepared person, but usually I have everything BUT […]

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is admittedly our favorite park, so I always plan two half-day visits. One for a morning-until-lunch day, and the other to see Pandora World at night with a dinner reservation. For the first day, we would get a Genie+ for Kilimanjaro Safaris in the morning, do our park things, and finish with lunch before going back to our resort.
