Hello magical friends! Just wondering what everyone uses for planning their days at WDW. Typically my family uses a Google Sheet or similar to plan out our day basics. We're not super-strict with our days as we like a more go-with-the-flow approach, so we usually just add the main attractions...

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something I built for myself this week that I thought might help some fellow DVC planners out there. I’ve always found it a bit tricky to keep track of the 11-month and 7-month booking windows for Disney Vacation Club trips, so I put together a little web tool to...

I have some circulation issues and always wear my Bombas compression socks when we go to Disneyland and California Adventure. They are super comfortable and are easily hidden under my ankle length yoga pants or midi dresses. We go during times where the heat is mild in Cali so the socks have...

Hi, I am traveling to WDW in May with my very energetic 8 year old. With the deals going on, there is now a lesser price difference between Port Orleans French Quarter and Boardwalk Inn. I initially chose POFQ but Boardwalk may be a good option now with the decreased price. Here are the...
