Introduction

My whole life I've always been fascinated by Walt Disney World.  Even though I grew up in Florida and lived less than two hours away, I rarely had the opportunity to go (usually just went an out-of-state relative came to visit).  I dreamed about going to WDW and staying in the fancy, deluxe resorts, and eating at all the unique restaurants in Epcot.  As luck would have it, I married a man who grew up with similar wishes.  In a way, our childhood dreams have come true.  We are now annual pass-holders, DVC (Disney Vacation Club) members, and part of the Castaway Club (for Disney Cruise Line Passengers).  My husband, Ryan, and I started going to Disney right after we were married and went several times a year.  Once we had our son, Carter, we waited until he was a year old and then started taking him as well (*sigh I miss the days when he could go for free!).  We've stayed at nearly all the on-property Disney Resorts (and many of the nearby ones as well), dined at almost every location in the parks, go to the WDW parks at least once a month, and cruised on the Disney Dream.  While we are certainly not experts, we do get a lot of questions from family members, friends, and co-workers about tips and best ideas for Disney traveling.  We always have some suggestions for anyone traveling with a child with special needs (as our son has).  With my love of Disney, writing, and photography, I thought it would be fun to put it all together in one blog that hopefully is useful for people looking to get a good ideas about traveling to WDW.  Please check out the links on the right hand side for Disney tips and reviews of Disney hotels & restaurants. Enjoy!
