We've got a Smart Mom Award this week! Did you know when you book a Disneyland Good Neighbor as a package with tickets, you get a souvenir pin & lanyard?

I refuse to make negative posts to get engagement. So, every time I see a big account tell you the worst mistake you're gonna make at Disney, I'm going to remind you that you're going to a theme park to PLAY!

Today's Disney Do is DO Play Duck Tales World Showcase adventure at Epcot!

1. Moms, of course you want to listen to David Tenant with a beverage in hand.

2. Dare say this card is one of the least-known souvenirs from Walt Disney World?

3. You get to spend the day making surprise animatronic reactions happen around the World Showcase confusing everyone around you.

This is one of the most fun days we've ever had at Epcot, and a great reason to INCLUDE Epcot with kids! You'll find this on the Play Disney app when you're in Epcot.

A rainbow of ways to celebrate

I'm so homesick for Second Home I thought I heard a boat horn last night. I do live near the Mississippi River, but not that close (and that's not what tugboats sound like). You can hear the Disney horn at the beginning of this video. 💔

We have a lot of dance weekends this summer, but Lil and I are starting to talk about back to school Animal Kingdom Lodge or Fort Wilderness Cabins in August!

Thinking about when was new to STL and we used to fly to Walt Disney World for 48 hours like it was nbd. Those were the days! They seemed like they would never end. 😭

Disney Cruise Line has updated their rules for Stateroom Door Decorating along with the amount of alcohol that guests can bring onboard 🚢

- Stateroom Door Decorating 🚪
Guests may still decorate their doors and fish extenders with no changes there, but…you can’t go any farther than that.

New - “Decorations should only be placed on doors and are not permitted on corridor walls or ceilings.”

- Alcohol brought onboard 🍷
Guests may bring a maximum of one used to be 2) bottle of unopened wine or sparkling wine (no larger than 750 ml) or 6 beers (no larger than 12 ounces).

The corkage fee is $20 which is down from the previous $29.

Both of these changes will go into effect for sailings beginning June 3, 2026

There is SO MUCH happening this summer! (But I wouldn't blame you for waiting for better weather! I know I am. 😅)

This October, we're sailing on the Disney Destiny, Disney's most immersive ship yet!

You have Worlds of Marvel and Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King dining experiences, the Haunted Mansion Parlor, Cask and Cannon Pirates-themed lounge, De Vil's piano bar,  Doctor Strange's Sanctum lounge, the Broadway-caliber stage shows Hercules and Frozen, the Hero Zone inflatible obstacle course, the AquaMouse water coaster, movies in the two movie theaters and FunnelVision at the pool, and characters galore!

For the kids, you have the longest kid's club hours at sea on Disney Cruise Line, with even more immersive experiences for kids 3-10 in the Star Wars Cargo Bay, Marvel Super Hero Academy, Princess Fairy Tale Hall, and Walt Disney Imagineering lab. Tweens and Teens have their own separate loungest with video games, music, and activities.

You can have ALL THIS Disney fun, while also getting to relax on Disney's two private destinations, Castaway Cay, and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point (each of which have drop-off clubs for kids so grownups can enjoy the adults-only beaches).

So what are you waiting for? Join our party!
