Tips for Disney’s Festival of Fantasy Parade
Watching Disney’s Festival of Fantasy Parade is the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the Magic Kingdom! Festival of Fantasy celebrates the most magical land in the Kingdom, Fantasyland. It features the perfect blend of classic characters (such as Peter Pan and Pinocchio) and characters from the new movies such as Merida and Elsa. This parade represents the spirit of Disney with eye-catching floats and enchanting music. You may even see Maleficent in the form of a fire-breathing dragon!

Disney Dining: Breakfast at Grand Floridian Cafe
Grand Floridian Cafe is the perfect mix of casual, yet elegant dining in one of Disney’s most beautiful resorts, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is located on the Magic Kingdom monorail loop, and it is actually the very last stop on your way to the Magic Kingdom. At the Grand Floridian Cafe, you will feel like you are a royal with the elegant design, and you will feel at home while feasting on Mickey waffles and being surrounded by family and friends. I have been dreaming of trying out the Grand Floridian Cafe, mostly because I had no idea it existed till earlier…
Exploring Paia, Maui
The beautiful coastal town of Paia sits along the North Shore of Maui, mixing hip surf culture and exotic jungle living with the Road to Hana beginning in this little town. In Paia, you will find the best beach in Maui with sea turtles and windsurfing, shops, boutiques, and unique restaurants. Paia is the perfect place to really enjoy the authentic Hawaiian culture without it being too “touristy”; here you can find a unique blend of natural food shops, eclectic stores, and kind people. Paia was easily my favorite town in Maui. There were unique shops here and local restaurants we had never seen before that we were able to…
Disney Dining: Breakfast at Kona Cafe
Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Polynesian Resort is probably my favorite Disney World restaurant. It is casual dining with the perfect mix of amazing food, aloha spirit, magical atmosphere, and convenience to the Magic Kingdom. Kona Cafe offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, and it is located on the second floor of the Polynesian Resort along the Magic Kingdom monorail loop. It is usually easy to get a dining reservation at Kona Cafe, and we often try to time it right before the Magic Kingdom opens. I love the Polynesian because the minute you step on the property you feel as though you have been transported to the beautiful…

Adventure is Out There
Adventure. Friendship. Imagination. Laughter. Memories. Dreams. All of these words describe the movie Up. This movie inspires all of us to chase after our wildest dreams and to love and cherish the ones on the adventure with us. It helps us to remember that the days are short and our time here on Earth is so limited, so why not live each day like we are going after our own Paradise Falls? Up helps us to see that the people on the adventure with us are much more important than the adventure itself. So this post is dedicated to the movie that helped me dream bigger, love more, and make…
Whistle While You Work
With the new year here, I have so many hopes, dreams, and goals for this year. The only way I am able to get things done is to have music in the background!

I have created a Spotify Playlist featuring 8 hours worth of Disney instrumental music that I wanted to share with you in hopes it will get you through that Monday work day or that long night working hard on…

Lahaina was easily one of my favorite places in Maui. Steeped with culture, shopping, amazing food, and plenty of excursions for everyone in the family, this charming little town cannot be beat. I wanted to share with you my favorite parts of Lahaina and what we were able to do here during our honeymoon! We technically spent two days in Lahaina. There is really so much to do here, you could easily spend a couple of days here and not get everything done. One of my favorite parts of our Lahaina visit was the drive over to this shore of Maui. We stayed in the Wailea area, which made our…
