By //  by Candace Sampson

Quebec is renowned for its picturesque landscapes and rich history, but among its attractions, the Eastern Townships stand out as one of Quebec's hidden gems.

10 Ways to Beat the Heat at Walt Disney World

10 Ways to Beat the Heat at Walt Disney World

By //  by Gwen Leron

Each time I tell someone we always plan our Walt Disney World trips to take place during the month of August, I'm always asked about the heat. Yes, it's HOT in Florida in August...but the timing just works well for us for several reasons. The kids are out of school, it's a fun last hurrah before September rolls around, and there are often discounts available at this time. Not to mention, we really don't mind the heat. Over the years, I've managed to find the best ways for us beat the heat at …

Disney MagicBand 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Your Vacation

By //  by Gwen Leron

This past summer during our Walt Disney World Resort vacation, we were introduced to the wonderful world of MagicBands. We've been to Disney several times, but this last visit was the first time MagicBands were available to us. Having used the old "key to the world" cards in the past, I have to say my preference is the MagicBand. Good to Know: If your preference is to use the key to the world cards, they are still available, you just have to ask! So...what exactly are MagicBands? What …
