Do you ever want a bit of a break from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks but still want to be doing something  and feeling Disney along the way?  Resort hopping is one of my favorite ways to spend the time outside of the parks and get a change of scenery and try some new things.  There are 4 (maybe 5) resorts in the Magic Kingdom area that are super easy to get to and each have something unique to offer.  Here are some ideas of things you can do at each resort, whether you want to spend a few minutes to a whole day.  I highly recommend the atmosphere at all of the resorts which is free to enjoy, but most of the recommended activities do come with a small cost associated (grab a snack, drink etc). Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa The Grand Floridian is the flagship resort of Walt Disney World.  It is full of elegance and has much to offer, even has its very own wedding pavilion.  You can arrive here via walking path from the Magic Kingdom, Monorail or Resort Launch.

Happy Start to the Holiday Season, Disney Fans!!!      As you've probably heard, holiday events have already begun at both Disney's Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. (Parade filming has been taking place this week and The Studios kicked off their new event, Flurry of Fun.) It's an exciting time of year, and most of November and early December are awesome times to get to enjoy the holiday festivities without the crowds that descend upon the parks over Thanksgiving and Christmas.       But, if you are not lucky enough to be able to enjoy the parks during the slower times of the season, never fear... If you're not a crowd person, or even if the crowds don't necessarily bother you, but you don't have park admission, you don't need to miss out on the holiday fun. There are plenty of things you can do outside of the parks to keep the holiday spirit alive, so let's talk about some of my favorite ones, so you can start planning! Hit Up Disney
