I have a lot of friends in Eastern Canada and the US, and it seems like everyone has been to Disney World – everyone except me. Florida is a long way away when you live in Western Canada. Besides, five years ago we took our children to Disneyland; there was no need to go all the way to Florida for what would be a similar experience, or so I thought. (Oh, how wrong I was!) But things changed when my husband discovered direct flights to Orlando and convinced me that, with boys …
The Force Awakens at Disney World’s Star Wars Launch Bay
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must be aware that there is a NEW STAR WARS MOVIE COMING VERY VERY SOON.

Disney With Teens – A Whole New World
My youngest daughter has been to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida more times than she is old.

As a mother who has seen her children marvel at the wonder of Disney every year of their life, I state this as a fact. What I've loved most over the years is how every trip to Disney is …
What Are Your Travel Plans This Summer?
From road trips, to exploring different parts of Canada and the USA, to jetting off to Paris or Australia, summer vacations are the time to create memories to last for years. Card games in the back of the car, fighting over the last Oreo cookie — which, as a rule, should always go to mom — falling into a comfy mattress, or crawling into a tent at night; these are moments we all wish could last forever during endless, summer days and nights filled with stars or city lights. What are your …
