If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World and want a truly enchanting dining experience, look no further than Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom.   Here's everything you need to know about this magical dining experience from a Disney Travel Agent's perspective:  When my daughter turned 16, we knew we had to make this milestone birthday extra special—what better way than by dining inside the iconic Cinderella Castle with the Disney Princesses themselves?

But the most magical part? You’re dining inside the Castle —yes, inside!! It’s a dream come true for any Disney lover, especially when you consider how iconic Cinderella Castle is. The whole atmosphere made us feel like we were part of a re...

Have Baby's First Haircut at Walt Disney World

There are many magical firsts for children at Disney World, but one of the most special experiences is getting their first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop . I had the joy of taking two of my children there when they were each just two years old, and the experience was truly unforgettable. It's like a rite of passage for our family! Disney turns an ordinary milestone into a cherished memory with their special First Haircut Package, and I want to share all the details so YOU can create this magical moment, too! Located on Main Street, U.S.A., Harmony Barber Shop is a charming, old-fashioned barbershop that many guests walk right past without realizing its a functioning barber shop!

The First Haircut Package is $28.00 and includes: A keepsake certificate with their name and their barbers name A lock of your child’s hair in a small pouch Special Mickey ears embroidered with “First Haircut” A...

Disney World Hack - Using FuelRod Chargers

We are using our phones more than ever at Walt Disney World - taking family (and food) photos, using the My Disney Experience app to book your Lightning Lane selections, review your Disney Genie optimized recommendations,  making mobile orders, checking the park map, and so much more. You have to have a back up plan for a dead battery. While portable power banks are great, if they die, you have to find somewhere to plug in. That's where FuelRods come in. A FuelRod is a portable phone charging system available throughout Walt Disney World. You can purchase a FuelRod kit and swap it for a fully charged one at any FuelRod station. You can find them at malls and airports too! How It Works Buy a FuelRod Kit – Purchase one at any FuelRod kiosk for around $38 . The kit includes: A rechargeable Fuel Rod (phone battery)  A USB charging cable with adapters for different devices (C, USB and Apple typically) Plastic case Use It to Charge Your Device – Plug your phone or tablet into the...

Fiesta of Flavor: La Cantina de San Ángel at EPCOT

La Cantina de San Angel is a quick service location in the Mexico Pavilion on the World Showcase side of Epcot. It's always busy - and for good reason! The menu is simple but delicious and the views are nice, too.  The menu here is small but packs a delicious (and healthy!) punch. Tacos, nachos, and empanadas are the stars. You can smother them in your favorite toppings--cheese, beans, beef, tomatoes, jalapenos or sour cream. The nachos are a great meal or shareable snack. You can add guacamole for a small charge or take advantage of the complimentary salsa that La Cantina offers. The red is smoky and hot and the green is tangy and mild and both are yummy.  Here are some popular entrees:  Arroz Bowl Rice bowl topped with grilled chicken, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro  Arroz Bowl with Barbacoa Beef or Shrimp Rice bowl topped with barbacoa beef, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro or Rice bowl toppe...

Walt Disney World for Toddlers - Best Places to Play & Explore

Going to Walt Disney World soon and wondering how you are going to fulfill your toddlers need for physical activity? You've come to the right place! Recently, I found myself and my toddler seeking out all the playgrounds in the parks while waiting for other family members to go on rides, or complete a Rider Switch (a.k.a. Child Swap). These are the best places for young kids to be themselves (and burn off some energy before nap time!) There are several playgrounds and safe, open areas across the Walt Disney World parks designed for younger children to run and explore.  Here are my family's favorites: Magic Kingdom 1. Dumbo the Flying Elephant Play Area Location: Storybook Circus Details: An air-conditioned indoor play space where kids can climb, slide, and explore while waiting for their turn to ride Dumbo. It’s included as part of the ride’s queue. Parents can sit and relax while the kids play. When you are ready to ride Dumbo, you tell a Cast Member at the entrance and they w...
