Not everyone thinks the idea of a non-stop theme park vacation sounds very appealing. My boyfriend is one of those people. As much as Disney is about the rides, there is still PLENTY to do at Walt Disney World that is not in the thrill ride category. There are a fair amount of rides that are very tame - Jungle Cruise, The Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean, to name a few. Not only that, but there are quite a few things you can do that will still make your ...
4 Things You Might Not Think You Need For Disney (But Definitely Do)
I've been going to Disney parks since I was 3, and I live in Chicago - which is close to a Six Flags park, which I visit almost annually.

I've learned throughout the years what I absolutely MUST bring with me, no matter what park I'm visiting - and what I can leave behind. I've also learned about a few items that I didn't ...

While personally I could do every attraction multiple times, there are five that I recommend to people who have never been there before and have to see the best of the best. Behold, ...
5 Things I Do To Afford Disney Trips on a STRICT Budget!
My least favorite word in the whole world is budget. I may be a Disney blogger at night and on my days off - but when I'm not blogging, I'm working a normal day job just like everyone else.

Should You Open a Credit Card for Travel? The Pros and Cons
Recently, I booked a vacation for Southern California for my boyfriend and I, and it was relatively cheap because I recently opened up a new travel credit card.
