Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach?

Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach?

Typhoon Lagoon. Hands down. I took approximately 100 photos while at Typhoon Lagoon. I’m posting only one here because we are packing up to drive home. I’ll update this later with one of my photo gallery collages. But if you’ve never been to Typhoon...
Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom

  The kids took part in another adventure. This time “Wilderness Explorers,” earning badges throughout the park, as they learned about nature and how to take care of the planet. I love this park. It feels like you are hiking in the wilderness (…...
Merida at Magic Kingdom

Merida at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom reached capacity. Sharing Magic Kingdom with 90 000 other Disney-goers dims the magic a tidge for parents. That being said, we worked our fast passes, timed our “Meet Merida” experience—we dashed to her queue at rope-drop!, raced the...
Crush Gush

Crush Gush

Dead Men DO tell tales (at Disney)!

Dead Men DO tell tales (at Disney)!

  Magic Kingdom was so busy, it felt like we were carving paths with our stroller. What to do when wait times for rides are 1-3 hours? Well, “A Pirate’s Adventure” of course! On the far side of Adventure Land stands a not-well-known shack. You...
Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach

Stop #2 was Cocoa Beach on the east coast of Florida. Cocoa Beach is just south of Cape Canaveral, where the United States launches rockets into space! We got up our first morning there and it was cloudy but we went to the beach first thing anyway. We were the only...
Givhans State Park, South Carolina

Givhans State Park, South Carolina

My mom wanted to see Charleston, South Carolina on the way down to Florida. We stayed in a cabin in a park just outside of the city. My mom said she loved the architecture of Charleston. We loved the bunkbeds in the cabin! There were stairs that went down the hill...
