Oh how many things I learned on our trip to the house of mouse. As much as I really love Disney, I learned things that I will definitely remember for future trips (should I plan any in the near future). So I thought I'd share them with you (and also this helps me be able to look back and remember lol)...

{Disney Bound | Magic Kingdom}
Or as I like to call it, the day our Disney trip imploded on us.
Everything started out fine that day. D had decided that we would go to Magic Kingdom later in the day. I tried to tell him that was a bad idea, but he insisted that was what we were doing. So I just let him handle it. He got up with Gaige and went fishing on Ol' Man Island, coming back about 30 minutes later saying that if I still...

{Merry Christmas All!}
I just wanted to share this post with ya'll and let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read my posts. I know I'm not a very big or popular blog. I don't do giveaways or review one thing after another, but I know that someone out there is reading what I'm sitting...

{Christmas Eve 2016}
This Christmas has been so...meh. I've never felt that way about the Christmas season before, but here I am, feeling it now. I didn't pull out my big tree this year. I couldn't leave it up with Binx here alone, I figured it would probably be killed. I wasn't going to be able to put my ornaments on it anyway for the same reason. I just pulled the tree Dawn usually puts up in her room, out of her closet...

{Disney Bound | Epcot}
The very first thing we did was head through the worlds to Norway where the Frozen ride is. Only to discover that everyone had the same idea lol. So we ditched that plan and went to different rides. Not that there were too many. We ended up on Soarin' (so worth the wait oh my gosh!), Mission to Mars (for the love of God if you're going on this, go on the green! You will regret going on orange...

{Christmas Planning | Gifts For The Kids}
Leading up to our Disney trip, D kept telling his grandma and everyone that we weren't doing Christmas gifts this year for the kids because we were spending a shit ton of money on Disney. Now, I understand not doing a big Christmas. I was OK with that. But could you imagine your kids waking up on Christmas morning to nothing? I would feel like a complete failure as a mom. And I knew he would...

{Disney Bound | Hollywood Studios}
I know that Magic Kingdom is the most popular of the four Disney parks, and most people gravitate to that park before all the others. But for me, and I think the rest of the family too, Hollywood Studios was definately our favorite!
We got up early the morning after arriving and got to the bus stop early. They arrive every 15-20 minutes so we only sat there at the depot for a few minutes before one...

{Christmas Isn't Christmas Anymore}
When I was little, even as an adult, Christmas time was always my very favorite time of year. I loved looking at the lights and helping to decorate the various trees my grandma would have standing in her house (I think she got into the 20's one year!). I loved shopping in the snow on Christmas Eve with my grandma, because up until that day my grandpa didn't have the money to get it all done. Every...

{Disney Bound | Travel Day 2 & Arrival!}
You know what I realized this entire trip? My grandparents were crazy taking us on trips all the time. For the love of chicken nuggets.
Our second day of travel was pretty uneventful. We woke up around 5am because the hotel had a continental breakfast that we didn't want to miss. It was just one more thing we didn't have to spend money on while on the road. Also another stop we didn't have to...

{Disney Bound | Travel Time| Day 1}
I didn't know if I wanted to blog while I'm also vlogging or not. Until I got to this first hotel and can't sleep. I can never sleep in hotels. Just another reason I prefer traveling in the motorhome. *Sigh*
But anyway, I figured I'd blog about our trip and then post the link to my "vlog". Today I just mainly snapped because pulling out my camera or talking to my phone was awkward. But I think I...

{Disney Bound | Port Orleans Riverside | Review}
I'm aware that anyone reading is wanting to see pictures and videos of our stay. But I recently got some questions about how I liked our hotel, and I thought I'd go ahead and post about it first.
To be honest I wish I would have had a more honest review of what to expect from this resort. I've seen many room tours on Youtube but they don't give details, they just show you what it looks like...
