Favorite Travel Memory:
My favorite Disney memory is watching my oldest daughter’s face light up when she saw her very first parade at Magic Kingdom. She had been too shy to enjoy individual character meet and greets during the day, but she spent the whole parade laughing, clapping, and pointing for her favorite characters. Seeing her joy in that moment has kept us coming back for more every year since!
Disney Travel Advice:
The best advice I have for anyone traveling to Disney is to end your day on a high note — even if it means leaving something off your list. There aren’t enough hours in a day (or a week!) to do everything that Disney has to offer, and it can be very tempting to try and squeeze one more thing in at the end of a long, hot day. But sometimes the best thing you can do is to take your foot off the gas pedal and save some energy for tomorrow (especially if you’re traveling with little ones)
My Favorite Travel Tip:
Being prepared for your trip is important, but leave a little room in your itinerary for the unexpected! It’s easy to get lost in the excitement of your destination and plan out every minute, but you will be grateful for the flexibility to fit in some downtime to recharge or to take your time and spend longer on something than you had originally intended.

You want to make the most of it, but that can quickly become overwhelming because of all of the little details and constant changes to keep up with.
