    ***Official July 2019 thread***

    Preparing for my 6AM flight tomorrow! Checked in to my flight right on the nose and surprisingly got an aisle seat, my personal favorite! Flying Spirit without paying for seat assignment is taking your life into your own hands times 2. Meal prepping for my family as we speak then finish packing!

    Telling the family you’re going solo...and the fall out.

    It's a funny double standard! When I visited in March, my mom called around the time I arrived. She commented that she and my sister in law were discussing me going solo and how they'd decided that it was weird that I get to go someplace alone when I have a family. I let it ruin my first day...

    Telling the family you’re going solo...and the fall out.

    My husband took my kids to a play place when I was on my last Mom Trip and my daughter told another kid's mom that her mom was on vacation by herself at Disney. The mom was like WHAT?! You can do that?! Yeah! My husband told her he goes on trips with his friends: camping, hiking, stuff he...

    Telling the family you’re going solo...and the fall out.

    The people who seem to have the most opinions about it are other family members. Instead of foolishly sharing my excitement with them, I'm just keeping these trips to myself from now on. What my husband and I decide for our family is all that matters.

    Why did you decide to go solo?

    The first time I decided to go solo was when a girl's trip fell through with a friend. I had already been saving up and thought, "Okay, well...where would I like to go if it could?" I checked some prices, found it not too expensive for just a couple days and decided to go for it! It's since...

    Telling the family you’re going solo...and the fall out.

    Since my first child was around a year and a half, I've made "mom trips" a normal thing. My husband is on board completely. My oldest child, now age 4, knows that mom goes on her trips sometimes and it's NBD. At the same time, I don't exactly tell them I'm going to Disney but rather to Florida...

    Disney WITHOUT the kids - feeling guilty!

    Kids need happy parents. Taking care of yourself and taking breaks can be part of that if thats a way you like to recharge. For me, solo time is important and sometimes I choose to spend that at Disney. I've always told my kids I'm going on my "mom trip" when they ask. My oldest child pieced...

    **November 2019***

    I'm so excited that F&W will be during our trip! I feel like I can get my non-disney loving husband to fall in love with EPCOT and F&W couldn't hurt!

    **November 2019***

    Hi there! I'm planning to book an AoA family suite the week prior to Thanksgiving for my kids first time at WDW. I'm looking forward to showing my kiddos the magic and hoping to turn my non-Disney husband into at least an every-few-years Disney okay-er! My daughter will be 4 and my son will have...

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    Just returned from a week at ASMu. I don’t have a single bad thing to say! Buses were great, the beds were outstanding, I enjoyed the food court. The last time I visited they had a different coffee, now it’s Joffrey’s! I enjoyed Mickey waffles for breakfast, several dinners and some desserts. I...

    Thanks everyone! I think I’ll get some gift cards for the bulk and keep a little cash on hand.

    Disney Gift Cards versus Cash

    I've been saving cash for my trip for food and other expenses. I'm beginning to have second thoughts on carrying around too much loose cash and considered purchasing Disney gift cards through Target instead. I could get the 5% off, which is great but not vital. My plan is to use my Magic Band...

    ***Official March 2019 Spring Into Disney Thread!***

    I've fretted about not having clothing that fits so I went ahead and got myself some new jeans, shorts and sleeveless tops. I wanted to wait until the weather/temperature predictions were closer but I figure, I'll need shorts this summer anyway! Last night I got a bunch of new hand sanitzers...
