    Budgeting for food

    We go to the store, get breakfast foods and some snacks and water, lots of water. We have refillable insulated containers and bring lots of extra water with us-at least one bottle is empty with our refills before the park is open. We don’t buy drinks in the park. Water! I told my kids 2...

    Fort Myers beach questions

    I am not sure if there are chair rentals, maybe closer to the pier (which was closed as of last week per my sister that lives there). I know there is some loud music at different bars/restaurants also in that area on the beach. We just walked thru it because we were walking. My sister lives...

    Buying a bed online. Have you?

    First Trip With a Child-Help!

    Have breakfast in your room This way while you are getting ready the other can help the 2 yo eat and I am sure it will get done quicker then ordering food and finding a spot to eat.

    Souvenirs to bring from home?

    None. My kids know (knew) from shopping trips when they were little that they didn’t get everything (not saying they would get everything in Disney). So it was a special day at target if they asked if they could get something and I said yes. My kids never asked for a lot of stuff. They had...

    New washer and dryer

    We were looking at a speed queen last fall. My husband did some research and looked at reviews and sadly in the last ~2 years speed queens aren’t made like they had been (yours most likely) and the 2019s people complained about dirty laundry, etc... We were willing to pay the extra to get one...

    Family of 5

    I can tell you disney is a+++++ for food allergies. My 16 yo has/had severe allergies since he was born but I didn’t know until he was just shy of a year. Dairy, peanut, treenut and egg white. Dairy was the worst and normal blood values are under 2, he was about 120. The rest were probably...

    Tips For Taking A One Year Old To WDW

    Our oldest was 15 months when she went for her first trip. She had a great time! She loved the characters, not so much the face characters. She danced, swam, rode rides, watched fireworks/illuminations (I made it fun and plugged her ears a bit and made her look for pink and purple colors)...

    Going Deluxe - am I crazy?

    Depending on when you go there are some great deals, like around Labor Day! Even August leading up to LD. I have never paid $600. I think when we went in 2018, I paid no more then $400/night. The BC was cheaper then the Poly so my husband finally said OK to the BC to save a little. We do...
