6 Things My Mother Learned on Our Trip to Walt Disney World
Over the Fall of 2018, I treated my mom to a mother and daughter only Disney vacation. It was one of the things on my 27 before 28 list so I was very excited. Disney trips, or any trip really, are more fun with someone who is just as in love with the destination as you are. My mother and I share our love of Disney and Disney Parks. I have previously shared the five things I learned during my trip with my mom. As I was writing it I wanted to see if my mother had any ideas and she came up with a completely different list!

5 Things I Learned On My Last Trip to Disney: Mother & Daughter Edition
In the fall of 2018 I got to cross one of my goals for 27 before 28 off my list – I took my mother to Disney World.

5 Things I Did Right On My Last Disney Trip
We planned breaks It may be tempting to try and squeeze as much as you can into a Disney trip, but it will backfire very quickly. In an effort to make sure I didn’t overload our trip and terrify my boyfriend out of Disney forever, I added in breaks to our schedule. I would purposely start in one park and end in another.

We used our snack credits wisely There is so much debate behind if you should or should…
5 Things I Learned Traveling to The Windy City: Tips for Chicago
I had been to the windy city once before, but that was almost 10 years ago. Clearly, things had changed. The more I read about the food and museums the more excited I got! I couldn’t wait to get there. Here are my tips for Chicago for what to avoid doing when you visit. Don’t reserve anything the day of your flight This is really more a “anywhere travel” tip, not just Chicago. We arrived at the airport at 5am only to find out our 7am flight was delayed by 3 hours.

I don’t care what trip you are taking – whether it is to Disney, Australia, or a road trip somewhere for a weekend, no vacation is perfect. You will have issues that are beyond your control and you need to be able to look past the imperfections and accept that it is a lesson for the next trip.

I had always gone with my family and my mother had done the majority (if not all) of the planning. The last time I…
