Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort has long been on my list of must-dos. Designed after turn-of-the-century National Park lodges, this Deluxe Resort is in the Magic Kingdom Park area. With breathtaking decor and unique landscaping, this resort will truly give you the feeling of being in the most beautiful log cabin you've ever seen with all of the amenities of a five-star resort. While there are many things to love about this resort, here are the eight that I love the most. (Ph

Rider Switch isn't a secret Disney Parks® service, but I have found that not many families know it exists or how to utilize it. If you look around you while at Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® you'll spot a familiar scene: little ones waiting with Mom or Dad at a ride exit while the other parent takes the older sibling on the ride. When the child and adult exit the ride, the group moves along to the next attraction or stop on their itinerary with one or more adults missing o

On our most recent trip to Walt Disney World®, we hit a new first for our family - we visited three parks in one day! How did we make this happen? Park Hopper tickets!

A regular theme park admission ticket grants you access to one park per day. The Park Hopper upgrade option gives you access to Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot®, Disney's Hollywood Studios, an

One of the questions I am most often asked by friends and family about Walt Disney World® is how we handle the lines for rides and character greetings with two often impatient kids. My answer? FastPass+! It is a Walt Disney World® guest's best friend. FastPass+ is a free service that is included with the price of admission to all Walt Disney World® theme parks. Each park offers a list of popular attractions that are able to be "reserved" in one-hour increments using FastPass+

One of the most unique and intriguing resorts at Walt Disney World® is Disney's Polynesian Village Resort®. Modeled after the tropical Polynesian islands in the South Pacific, this Deluxe Resort is in Magic Kingdom Park area and located on the monorail line. I haven't stayed here (yet), but I know it ranks at the top of at least one MousePros agents' lists for favorite places to stay. After everything I learned about this magical resort, it is going on my list of things I mus

If you've ever participated in any Disney® social media groups, you may have noticed the alphabet soup that Disney® fans use when asking and answering each other's questions. WDW, MK, AKL, MNSSHP...what does it all mean? I'm here to help you learn how to speak Disney® so that next time you visit one of those groups, or text your MousePros agent, you will sound like a Disney® pro! Study the list above and before you know it, you'll be telling your MousePros TA that you want a

Ahoy, Mateys! Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Of all the weird and random holidays during the year, this is one of my favorites. I'll be singing "yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" all day! I'm sure my family will love it. Walt Disney World® and Disneyland® have so many fun ways to celebrate being a pirate, whether it's Talk Like a Pirate Day or not. Here are a few of my favorites: Rides One of my absolute favorite, must-do rides at Walt Disney World® is Pirates of the Carib

Disney's BoardWalk Inn is my absolute favorite resort at Walt Disney World®. From the marquee lights on the front of the main building to the red planked siding, from the geraniums in the landscaping to the striped awnings over the storefronts along the boardwalk, I am madly in love with the Atlantic seaboard atmosphere. It feels like a vacation within a vacation. Sometimes I forget I'm even at Walt Disney World® - until I see the fireworks from Epcot® on the horizon! (Photo
