Happily Ever After, A Disney Honeymoon


My husband and I decided to honeymoon in Walt Disney World over 10 years ago.  Even though honeymooning in Walt Disney World is very popular, we still got quizzical looks from friends and family who wondered why in the world two adults would go to the house of mouse sans children.  (Clearly they’ve underestimated the romance of watching fireworks behind the castle with the love of your life.)  For those of you considering an adults-only vacation to a Disney Park, here are a few reasons why we loved our honeymoon and some pointers for you to enjoy a kid-free vacation:

 Lady and the Tramp paw prints.
      1.  It’s the best of both worlds.  We are not “lay by the pool every day for a week” kind of vacationers, but we do try to maintain a balance to our schedule.  We loved being able to get up early to enjoy the attractions and embrace our young-at-heart sides.  Then in the evenings we could relax more and made sure to do things outside of the hustle and bustle of the parks.  Some couples might schedule something special like a spa treatment or take a carriage ride around Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter.  We’re pretty low key, so our favorite thing to do in the evenings was simply have a nice dinner. 

      2.  Superb dining.  We love our food.  Most of our vacation plans, Disney or otherwise, tend to revolve around the unique dining experiences that our destination has to offer.  After a tiring day in the Florida heat we loved being able to go explore a new resort, take a few minutes to relax in one of the lounges, and then have a leisurely dinner.

      3. No need for commando touring.  It is nice to have a basic plan for the day, but one of my favorite things about our honeymoon was that we were able to just go with the flow.  This is a lot easier to do with just two adults as opposed to the whole family in my experience.  Less people to work around—no nap times to worry about, no meltdowns if one wants to stop and watch a show, no strollers and bags to schlep around.  Somehow we ended up in Epcot nearly every single day “just because,” (because that is where the best food and drinks are!), which I’m sure we wouldn’t have been able to do if we were trying to please the needs of all our other family members.

 4. Cast Members make you feel special.  I know celebrations are a dime a dozen at the Disney Parks now, but that’s not how you feel if you’re the one celebrating.  Everywhere we went people congratulated us.  Sometimes we got a special dessert with dinner and once we even got a card signed by every single server in the restaurant.  Upon returning to our room from the parks one afternoon we found an autographed card from Cinderella and Prince Charming wishing us well and a bunch of balloons.  Your experience may vary, but the point is that Disney often goes out of their way to make your celebration a trip to remember.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
