Disney World, List

Packing List: Adult trip

LaurenVEA

Disney is not just for the kids.  If you are a kid at heart or just love food, then you might be thinking about a trip without the kids or before kids.  I LOVE taking my kids to Disney, but also love my adult trips.  I am all about a packing list and wanted to share my personal park packing list for my bag.

First off, if you don’t feel you need a bag, do not take a bag.  Life will be super easy for you, since you can avoid the bag check lines.  I am not one of those people Continue reading “Packing List: Adult trip” →

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (aka MNSSHP) started in 1995 and was originally only held on Halloween night.  The party gradually grew in popularity from year to year and is now offered on select nights August-October at the Magic Kingdom.  It is my children’s favorite event and one we try to attend every year.  If you are on the fence, it is 100% worth it!  Over the years, we have come up with a great list of Dos and Don’ts.

Disney World, How To/ 101

My Disney Experience App 101

LaurenVEA

This app is a MUST for any Disney World trip.  If you haven’t already, download the app from your App Store (or from this link) and start familiarizing yourself with it.  You will be thankful you did. Trust me!

Complete honesty, the app can be overwhelming.  There is so much information there and it does so much.  I do not want anyone to get to the park and open it for the first time and just delete it because it is too difficult to use.  It is an amazing resource and I hope to help make it a great resource to you and not an enhancement to your trip.  So here are some basics (and advanced courses) of the My Disney Experience (MDE) App.

Update: Disney ran an update on June 18, 2018 for the app.  We are currently working on updating this post, but most of the post is still accurate.
