Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Onboard the Disney Wonder

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Onboard the Disney WonderOne of the highlights of our Disney Alaska Cruise was finally being able to take my daughter to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. On our previous trips, she either was old enough (kids need to be 3 years old) or we just didn’t have the time (at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration earlier this ear). Since she was finally old enough and we had plenty of time on our 7-day cruise, I knew I had to make it happen. I was surprised by how many people told me that they didn’t even know the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was available on the Disney Wonder!  Not only is the boutique located on the Disney Wonder but it’s available on all four of the Disney Cruise ships! If you’re planning a Disney Cruise, here’s what you need to know about booking your little princess or prince an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique onboard the Disney Wonder or any of the other ships.

5 Reasons Why You’ll Love a Disney Alaskan Cruise

If a trip to Alaska has been on your bucket list, here are 5 REASONS YOU’LL LOVE A DISNEY ALASKA CRUISE.

5 Reasons You'll Love a Disney Alaska Cruise

As someone who has spent most of her adult life loving and visiting Disney World, I didn’t think it could get any better than a week at Walt Disney World escaping reality for those few days and creating memories with my family. About 2 years ago I went on my first Disney Cruise and quickly realized how wrong I was. I never truly saw the appeal of being on a cruise ship for days at a time when I could be at the park re-living my childhood through my kids until I actually experienced it. Now I can’t get enough. Our latest cruising adventure took us on a Disney Alaska Cruise and it forever changed how I feel about travel. [Read more…] about 5 Reasons Why You’ll Love a Disney Alaskan Cruise

How to Make a DIY Disney Cruise Fish Extender

Disney DIY Fish Extender

In a few weeks, we’re headed on an adventure of a lifetime with the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. This is my third time attending the event and I’m still just as excited as if it were my first. It’s no secret that I love Disney. We’ve been going annually for the last ten years and this year is going to be even more fun since it’s our first ever cruise. We’ll be spending a few days at Disney before embarking on a 3-day cruise about the Disney Wonder. While I consider myself quite the Disney expert, a Disney cruise is completely new to me. So I figure what better way to learn everything there is know about cruising Disney style then jumping right in. Over the years, I’ve read all about fish extenders or FEs and I’m pretty excited to finally participate in my first one. Given the short amount of time before our trip, instead of ordering a fish extender, I tried my hand at making my own. I surprised myself with how easy it was to make and best of all, it cost me about $10 to make! Now I’m going to show you how to make your own DIY Disney Cruise fish extender.  [Read more…] about How to Make a DIY Disney Cruise Fish Extender

  • #ad I love to bake and create in the kitchen. Especially during the holidays. Growing up, I remember my mom and aunts always being in the kitchen whipping up something delicious at every party and family get together. Now it’s my turn. I’m the one in the kitchen whipping up delicious treats while my kids are running in to help or help sample the desserts. One treat I look forward to this time of year is a delicious glass of Coquito. If you’ve never had it or heard of it, it’s a Puerto Rican Coconut Nog. Think of it like an eggnog type drink without eggs and made with coconut and NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk instead). It’s delicious but with the addition of rum, it’s not something the littles can enjoy. So I make it without the rum so everyone can enjoy it. But I also love to use La Lechera in other recipes, like these Spice Cupcakes with Coquito Whipped Cream. Y’all this is SO good! When I first made these, everyone devoured them in minutes. Now it’s one of my most requested holiday recipes! La Lechera is the perfect ingredient when I want to get creative in the kitchen and whip up special treats like this Coquito Whipped Cream. Truthfully, this time of year, I’m using the homemade Coquito Whipped Cream on everything! It’s amazing on a class of NESTLÉ® ABUELITA Hot Chocolate too! After a cold day, this might be my favorite way to warm up! All you need is 1 pint of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of Coquito made with La Lechera Sweetened Condensed milk (grab the recipe on my blog) and 3/4 confectioners sugar. Chill your bowl in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before you start making your whipped cream. Once it’s chilled, add in whipping cream, Coquito and using the whipping attachment on your mixer, mix on high for 3-5 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, add in confectioners sugar and beat on high another 3-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon whipped cream into a pipping bag and pipe on top of hot chocolate, cupcakes, use it to frost a cake or eat it right from a spoon! Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve! You can find everything you need, including the @lalecherausa right at your local @Walmart! • • • • • #baking #homemade #recipes

  • #ad After a busy day, there’s nothing I want more than to sit down to a relaxing dinner with the family. The reality is that I don’t always want to cook that meal. That’s why I make sure to stock my freezer full of @michel_angelos frozen meals from @Walmart. The premium, slow crafted authentic Italian meals are made with ingredients I can pronounce and find right in my own kitchen. The homemade taste means it’s a dinner my whole family will love and less time cooking in the kitchen means I can focus on creating memories with the ones who mean the most. The authentic Italian-style recipes and kitchen-crafted meals made with wholesome, simple ingredients specially selected and cooked to bring out their full flavor. Michael Angelo's doesn't make any compromises, and they don't use artificial preservatives, flavors or colors for full, vibrant, homemade tastes in every bite. These easy, family-favorite and single-serve meals are ready in minutes. They pair perfectly with a fresh salad and some homemade garlic bread. Grab a loaf of bread, some butter and fresh garlic. Spread onto bread and place under broiler for 3-5 minutes. Find these Michael Angelo's Meals in the freezer section of Walmart and take the stress out of dinner time so you can relax and enjoy the moments that matter most. #KitchenCraftedItalian
  • Have you ever stayed at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa? This was our first time staying here and OMG I’ve been missing out all these years. Not only was this resort stunning, but the food was superb, the location on Bay Lake makes it a great spot for fishing and it’s on the Monorail. I’ve been spoiled and I don’t know how I’ll stay anywhere else when visiting Disney now! • • • • • • #disneyhosted #WDWResorts #disneysmmc #verymerry #disneyholidays #grandfloridian #anewdawnntravels #disneydream #travel #wanderlust #wanderlusting #familytravel #traveldiaries #traveldiary #travelblogger #bahamas #mytravelgram #mytripmyadventure #disneylife #disneygram #igdisney #disneyig #disneysea #disneyside #disneymom
