Things You SHOULD Overpack for Disney World
I will be the first to admit that I am the person who seems to get her luggage is as close to the weight limit as possible. I like to be prepared and with that comes my need to make sure I have something for any situation. Who cares if you are only somewhere for 3 days? I might need 10 outfits for those days! Okay, that only happened once, but still. There are absolutely things you have to overpack for Disney World. Shoes I’m not saying you should bring all the heels, sandals, boots, wedges, and flip flops you own, but you absolutely should pack more sneakers than you…
The Best Disney Planning Advice I Have Ever Gotten
When you first tell people you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World you suddenly unleash this predisposed need for people to tell you exactly how to plan your trip. They can’t help it. They have been before and clearly have learned all there is to know and whatever your original plan is you are doing it wrong. This is just insane. Disney itself is constantly changing and evolving between the construction of new projects, renovations of classic attractions, new policies, and so much more, it is impossible to have a grasp on everything the mouse offers. All that being said – I’m still going to relay some of the…
Best Happy Hour in New Orleans
New Orleans is one of my favorite places to visit. The energy that the town gives off just by walking down the street is something you cannot recreate. There are so many things to do in NOLA besides drinking on bourbon street, but let’s be honest, chances are if you are visiting the French Quarter, you plan on having a few cocktails. Before we left for vacation I began looking up things to do, where to eat, etc., the typical vacation research. Since we were going on somewhat of a budget I added an extra step – locate the best happy hour in New Orleans. I have shared this list…

What Is Always In My Disney Bag
Charger This should be a no-brainer for anyone who has a smartphone and is on vacation. We rarely travel without a backup charger in our bags. In Disney, with all of the things you need to use your My Disney Experience app for, and now with the release of the Disney Play app, your battery will not make it to the end of the day. We have the Portable Charger Anker PowerCore that we use for longer park days (the rope drop to fireworks type days). It is long lasting and powerful so that if you need to charge more than one phone you will have no issue. I also bring a…
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. Typically I don’t plan anything that requires a reservation to close to landing time because you never know…

5 Mistakes I Made On My Last Disney Trip
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. The trip I took to Disney in September 2017 was no different. I already had some factors working against me. I had never planned a trip myself before. I had always gone with my family and my mother had done the majority (if not all) of the planning. The last time I…
