You know the feeling you get when you have a really amazing idea, so you throw your back into realizing your brilliant vision for what promises to be the very rock-er-ific party of all time. "The kids will be talking about this for MONTHS," you think as you order your fourth PS3 Move remote, second 4-foot black light, black light hair spray, black light makeup, glow bracelets, black light glitter body gel and glow-in-the-dark lip gloss from the internet. "Oh, their great surprise when they see these glowing black light balloons, neon posters, flashing star accents, disco lights, strobe lights and nightclub-like sofa set-ups. Not to mention their inability to resist this salavation station smattered with popcorn (in individual tubs!), cake pops, ice cream cake, peanut m&ms, regular m&ms, sweet tart party mix, adorable mini pop cans, pizza, breadsticks and MORE." Yah. That was the first 20 minutes of this party. Then we turned on the new PS3 Dance game. The ...
MERCH: Walt Disney's Dumbo Classic Coffee Mug With Lid PURCHASE LOCATION: Emporium on Main Street PARK: Magic Kingdom, Disney World DATE: June 2023 What in the what, Disney. Imagine you're cruising down Main Street with a super ornery toddler, so obviously you stop in a store to buy her a toy because that's just where you are in your 4th-child parenting journey. Now, I'm a practical person. I have a tendency to drop irrational dollars at Disney, but the dollar-dropping is always and only on items with a practical use and a high likelihood of being well-loved. Enter: THIS MUG. Listen.

MERCH: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure Children's Top PURCHASE LOCATION: La Maison Du Vin / Les Vins de France in France, World Showcase PARK: Epcot, Disney World DATE: June 2023 Ob.Sessed. By our last day at Disney World, our 4-year-old was completely obSESSED with Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT. But it didn't start that way. On Day One, it started with her "I CHANGE MY MIND!" announcement at the ride's Genie+ check-in. Fast-resulting baby swap. Here's how we slowly alleviated her fears day over day. 😍😍😍😍 Disney tools we leveraged: 1) Park Hopper tickets every day of our vacation 2) Disney's Yacht Club Resort reservation within walking distance of Epcot 3) Visiting Epcot nearly every day (sorry, not sorry - cheers) Day 1: "I changed my mind!" No go. Day 2: Ride between mom & dad - just skip the glasses, and don't look if you don't want. We told her what was happening during the ride throughout every scene whether s...
