    Craziest thing you've done in the name of planning

    That image of the vacuum going around you made me giggle. I've done something very similar to this, although it was for a client. I live near DC and was driving to Nashville so I needed to leave before the worst traffic hit, so I drove for three hours, stopped at a Starbucks (which I googled in...

    O'Hana vs Pirates Voyage... or Both???

    You should have time to do both, but if I had to pick one with a four year old, I would do the Pirates and Pals Voyage. (Assuming that particular 4 year old would still have plenty of energy at 9pm) My favorite moments are when little one's faces light up and you will likely experience more of...

    Planning for WDW Trip in October 2021

    DVC has its perks, but also its cons. I personally love having daily Mousekeeping, and prefer to stay club level if I'm looking for a splurge. While it is not difficult to apply a discount, you can experience long hold times and need to not miss the discount when it's released. If you book...

    Best Extinct WDW Foods

    My Husband's absolute favorite restaurant was Starring Rolls! I also enjoyed it, but it was a running joke that no matter where we ate at WDW, he would rather be at Starring Rolls. If I would go without him, I would bring him back a cupcake! It still hurts to walk by and see the umbrellas with...

    Day 6 We decided to do the Sunrise walk in the morning. We missed the one in Sedona and had heard rave reviews from those who chose to attend it. This was was pretty, but having just done sunset at the Grand Canyon, was a little less whelming. Our adventure guides snuck this shot of us too...

    Day 5, Part 2 We got to learn about rug weaving traditions passed down from generation to generation. I was impressed by how resourceful all the materials and dyes were. This is done in a Hopi. They were surprisingly cool inside, until our group filled it with our collective body heat. We...

    Day 5, Part 1 Good morning! This was our earliest morning. We tried to get to breakfast at about 6:45am. While breakfast was tasty, they seem to be a bit overwhelmed by larger groups. For this breakfast, we ate with some of our fellow travelers who arrived to breakfast at a similar time. It was...

    Day 3, Part 5 We had a bit of down time once we arrived to our hotel. We were at the Thunderbird Lodge with a view right out our window of the Grand Canyon. Dinner was at the Thunderbird Lodge in a private area where we had steak, sides, and pie. During dinner, our adventure guides asked us...

    Day 3, Part 3 After the tour, they had some special animals for us to meet and greet (and touch and watch run around) in addition to us getting to feed the otters. The otter section was closed off for us and we were given the option to take a dead little fish and toss it to the otters. It was so...

    Day 3, Part 2 Before getting on a converted school bus, we were given food to feed the bison later. Our group was the only one on the bus. Most of the animals were awake (including another wolf), but I thought this little napper was adorable. Mike feeding the bison (The first bison we saw...

    Day 3, Part 1 Che Ah Chi for breakfast again. Mike got a waffle, I went to the buffet in addition to getting a smoothie to go. I'd miss this view, but since we were headed to the Grand Canyon, I figured we were upgrading. Before we get to the Grand Canyon, we are stopping in Bearizona...

    Day 2, Part 2 After spending some time in our room freshening up and getting a bit of work done we went to check out the pools. There are three. One main pool and 2 Spa pools. Doug told us that they play whale sounds in the indoor pool and I had to check for myself. We stopped my the main pool...

    Day 2, Part 1 (Sorry for the late post. Today got away from me) Y’all* the food is unreasonably delicious at Enchantment Resort, but before I can get to that, I have to gush about this cute thing that happens every morning. They bring fresh OJ and the morning paper to your door. This small...
