If you're about to take your toddlers to Disney for the first time, check out my newest blog post. All the things I wish I knew before taking my toddlers to Disney for the first time.

Contributed by Paige LandrumIf you have been to Walt Disney World as a teen or adult, but have not yet taken young kids, this one is for you. I am a Disney veteran.. I’ve grown up coming to Disney and I even used to be a Disney Cast Member. But I also am not too proud to know when I’m wrong, and...

If you are considering a Spring Break 2026 trip to Disney World, let's chat now about what that looks like! Disney released resort discounts for spring, and the discounted rooms do go quickly.

How this works: Disney has an allotted amount of rooms at the discounted rate, once they are gone you will have to pay full price.

If a Spring Break trip is on your mind, a refundable $200 deposit is all that's in your way! Let me know if you want to schedule a time to chat about the options.

Want to see one of my kids' favorite areas in Magic Kingdom? Storybook Circus is tucked away and honestly quite easy to miss!

Here are some highlights of the area:
💦Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station: Such a fun splash pad and the perfect place to cool off. The colorful circus train sprays mist and water from all angles. Pack a change of clothes or a quick-dry towel for this one.

🎪Pete's Silly Sideshow: Step right up to meet some of your favorite characters in their "circus performer" outfits! This is where you can find Goofy as the "Great Goofini," Donald as the snake charmer, and Minnie and Daisy in adorable themed costumes.

🐘Dumbo the Flying Elephant & Indoor Playground: Dumbo is already a must-do classic, but while you wait for your turn, kids can play in the indoor, air-conditioned playground. You can also visit the playground after riding, or can skip the ride altogether. Another great thing about this playground is that it has a special section for kids 2 and under.

🎢For the little thrill seekers, check out the Barnstormer roller coaster. This ride requires riders to be 35 inches tall.

🪩During Cool Kid Summer, there is an additional event going on at the Big Top - Kids can join the DJ Ringmaster for a summertime dance party, pop-up silliness with Pluto, and kid-friendly midway-style games with even more hands-on activities inside Big Top Souvenirs!

Have you been to this section of Fantasyland? What did you think?

Contributed by: Paige Landrum Can I let you in on a secret? I am a Disney adult through and through. I love going to the parks, so much so, that I actually moved to the Orlando area just to work at Walt Disney World when I was in my 20s. Even being the Disney expert that I am, I have been quickly hu...

Orlando is home to some amazing water parks that are perfect for families looking to cool off and have fun this summer. From the tropical vibes at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and the snowy theme at Blizzard Beach to the thrills of Universal’s Volcano Bay, there’s something for every age and comfort level.

If you're staying at a Disney resort this summer, you’ll also get complimentary water park admission on your check-in day, a great bonus to build into your itinerary!

Each park offers toddler-friendly areas, shaded seating, and plenty of opportunities to relax or play hard. If you're not sure which one fits your family best, I’m always happy to help you decide!

Mickey shaped anything and Disney's
Boardwalk is 👌🏻

But seriously, if I haven't convinced you to checkout Disney's Boardwalk yet, my job here isn't complete. My favorite place on property for so many reasons.. the lively atmosphere which ironically makes me feels instantly calm. The food. The energy. The views of Crescent Lake. The proximity to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. The nightlife. The tea parties. The margarita stand.

What did I miss?
