Disney has very few height restrictions on rides, and you've got a “child swap” ticket in your hand, but what do you and your preschooler do while everyone else goes on a ride? You can take them on another ride, check out the nearby shops, or stand in line for a character greeting, but times rarely match up nicely that you always seem to have a few extra minutes to spend. Here’s a list of places at Magic Kingdom and Epcot where you can go with your child to help entertain them. Waiting at Magic Kingdom - Big Thunder Mountain and Splash […]

As a lover of Epcot, having my children enjoy World Showcase has always been important to me. Appreciating how other countries influence our world is easily forgotten. How wonderful it is that Disney hires cast members from the countries that are placed all around World Showcase. I want to encourage my children to talk with the people and learn something about them but my children are by nature very shy. This prompted my search into finding out what Disney offers for kids to learn and have fun while exploring World Showcase. For young children, simple and straight forward interaction is […]

When visiting Walt Disney World, Main Street U.S.A. is an area NOT to be missed. With all the excitement of characters and rides, sometimes Main Street U.S.A. is quickly bypassed. However, there are "magical moments" on Main Street at Walt Disney World. One hidden treasure is the Harmony Barbershop on Main Street. Reservations for resort guests can be made up to 180 day in advance, but walk-ins are also welcomed. Early in the morning and during parades are a great time for walk-ins. "First Haircuts" are their specialty, which includes a certificate to remember the experience, as well as "My […]

Can I visit Walt Disney World, enjoy all that it has to offer and still manage my child's food allergies when it is time to eat? YES!

Disney takes the stress and worry out of eating and snacking around the Magic Kingdom, even with a food allergy. When making reservations at any of Disney's table-service […]
