You Must Be This Tall to Ride...Disneyland Resort Edition

As a kid, there is nothing more exciting than finally being tall enough to ride the rollercoasters at Disneyland! It's a right of passage to finally be tall enough to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, and the Matterhorn Bobsleds.  Walt Disney designed Disneyland as a place for the whole family to have fun together but that doesn't mean that there aren't a few attractions that are meant for older (or taller) guests. Some attractions have specific height requirements for guests, meaning they must be at least the minimum height listed or they may not ride the attraction.  If you're traveling with little ones, it's important to familiarize yourself with the ride height requirements so you know which attractions everyone can and can't ride, based on their height.  Disneyland Park 32 inches - Autopia (52 inches to ride alone) 35 inches - Gadget's Go Coaster 38 inches - Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run 40 inches - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 40 ...

How to have a Totally Toy Story Disney Trip!

Howdy partner ! If your family loves the Toy Story movies as much as mine does, you need to read these ten tips! Disney has done an awesome job of incorporating these beloved characters and movies into the parks and resorts. If you want to give your kids a fully immersed Toy Story experience, don't forget to do these ten things: 1. Stay in the Toy Story Section of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort! Ask your Kingdom Konsultant Agent to book you in the preferred section of the resort, which are all Toy Story rooms! Only preferred rooms are Toy Story themed.  2.

Happily Ever After, A Disney Honeymoon

My husband and I decided to honeymoon in Walt Disney World over 10 years ago.  Even though honeymooning in Walt Disney World is very popular, we still got quizzical looks from friends and family who wondered why in the world two adults would go to the house of mouse sans children.  (Clearly they’ve underestimated the romance of watching fireworks behind the castle with the love of your life.)  For those of you considering an adults-only vacation to a Disney Park, here are a few reasons why we loved our honeymoon and some pointers for you to enjoy a kid-free vacation:  Lady and the Tramp paw prints.        1.    It’s the best of both worlds.   We are not “lay by the pool every day for a week” kind of vacationers, but we do try to maintain a balance to our schedule.  We loved being able to get up early to enjoy the attractions and embrace our young-at-heart sides.  Then in the evenings we could relax more and...

When Your Walt Disney World Vacation Feels Official

One could say that as soon as you book your Walt Disney World vacation it becomes official but for me, there are certain things that must happen before it really feels official. Arriving in Orlando.   This one may seem obvious but the first feeling I get that my vacation has officially begun is when I see signs for Disney’s Magical Express.   I get so excited as I exit the plane and make my way to the motor coach that will deliver me to my happy place.   It’s the first sign of many that my vacation has officially begun. Taking a Ride on the Monorail.   There was this one trip I took as a kid where we rode the monorail so many times that we had the safety spiel memorized.   That might not seem that impressive to avid WDW fans but as a kid and not having any knowledge of the Spanish language, it felt pretty cool to know that phrase.   Now a trip to Walt Disney World just doesn’t feel official until I hear that beloved safety spiel.   “Pl...
