Is Genie+ worth it? Honestly… sometimes YES ✨

For some families, shorter waits and a more flexible day can make Disney feel SO much less stressful.

Especially with little kids, sensory-sensitive kids, or shorter trips 💛

Every mom thinks they need EVERYTHING for Disney… until they’re carrying a giant heavy park bag for 12 hours in the Florida heat 😅🎒

The truth is, lighter and simpler usually makes Disney days WAY less stressful for families ✨

What’s ONE thing you always bring into the Disney parks?

Parents don’t realize how IMPORTANT stroller convenience is at Disney until they’re folding it on crowded transportation after a 12-hour park day 😅

A lightweight, easy-fold stroller can seriously make Disney so much less stressful with kids ✨

What stroller do you swear by for travel?

The good news? Most of them are completely avoidable with the right planning ✨

Today marks the 50th anniversary of . It’s hard to believe 25 years ago I was there for the first time for the 25th anniversary (and a cake shaped castle) 😆. Since then, I have visited many times and have made countless memories with family and friends. I have been been fortunate enough to celebrate so many milestones there including birthdays, our wedding, our pregnancy, etc. and so many more, and I now get to share that love with my daughter. My love for Disney has led me to be the person I am today, and it is truly my favorite place on earth 🥰
