40th Birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth

Had a wonderful surprise birthday trip down to WDW for my 40th!  Great memories and wonderful times with my family!

Fastpass Changes

Fastpass changes are coming early next month.

Currently, guests can get a Fastpass and come back to the attraction after the return time has passed. Even if it’s hours later. Starting March 7, this will not be the case.

It’s expected that Fastpass return times will be enforced with a five minute early arrival and a 15 minute late arrival. Anyone arriving outside of those times will reportedly not be allowed entry.

Those of you who know our family know that we have used this strategy everytime we head to Disney and have shared it with many of you!  This is going to put a wrench in how we tour the parks!!  We will adapt.  Going to be interesting to see how this plays out!

Princess for a Day - on a budget!

Do you need a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique fix for your little princess in between Disney vacations?

Try this idea from a fellow Disney mom enthusiast - Jennifer Wasdin
Have your little girls dress up in their favorite princess costumes and go have a photo session with a local photographer or studio.  The excitement of dressing up and going out to show off will be so much fun for your princess!  It also should help your bank account too!  You could even add a tea party as another fun activity.
