I just returned from my family’s 19th trip to Disney, and as I’m writing several blog posts about the experience, I’m receiving queries from new clients who want to visit Mickey. First timers usually have no idea of the costs involved. They just figure it’ll be a lot. It doesn’t have to cost the moon, of course. A

For visit #19 to WDW last week, my family spent 3 nights at the Caribbean Beach moderate resort, and 3 nights at the Grand Floridian deluxe resort. I’d stayed at the Grand Floridian 4 times previously, so I knew I loved it, and knew what to expect. However, this was my first time staying at the Caribbean Beach

We spent some time chillaxin’ at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort during our visit last week. We swam in the big pool, with the waterslide. And hung out with some family.

Strategically located (east of Ottawa off highway 417, and 75 minutes from Montreal) the water park is bound to attract crowds on a hot day. We were lucky the Sunday afternoon

Did you have a lovely Canada Day weekend? I certainly hope so! We had some visitors in Ottawa this weekend… perhaps you’d heard?

No visit to Magic Kingdom is complete without watching the Wishes fireworks. It’ll make the most hardened person cry. Jiminy Cricket’s words, Tinkerbell shooting across the night sky, and then the little kids angelic choir voices gets me every time. I’m not a good enough photographer to capture the magic, although I always try. Fortunately, there

We returned at 2 am this morning from Disney, our first ever trip where we didn’t check luggage…. carried all onboard. Ordinarily, I plan my Disney vacations completely at least 180 days out (to get all character and other dining we want). This time, the trip was only arranged the day before we left… so

Why would anyone go to Disney and not stay at an onsite hotel? Staying at an onsite Disney hotel has many advantages. It gives you the ability to take the Disney’s Magical Express shuttle, the option to purchase the dining plan, the thrill of being surrounded by the Disney magic 24 hours a day, the
