7 Reasons Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers

7 Reasons Disney's Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers

In all of my trips to Walt Disney World, I’ve stayed at all the varied levels of hotels – Value, Moderate and Deluxe. In all my trips, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa wasn’t ever my first choice. Sure it’s a gorgeous hotel but I just wasn’t  sure how kid friendly it was. I mean, I know it’s Disney and everything is kid friendly but I always felt this resort was more for older kids and adults versus loud, rambumctious kids. After our trip in November, I couldn’t have been proved more wrong. Not only is it an exquisite resort but in my opinion, it’s the perfect resort for younger ones. Read on to see our 7 Reasons Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers.

Pandora The World of Avatar – Everything You Need to Know BEFORE You Go

Everything you need to know about Pandora The World of Avatar

When I first heard that Disney was creating Pandora, a land centered around the movie Avatar, I wasn’t sure what to think of it. I wasn’t a fan of the movie and I wasn’t sure how this would fit within Disney. I was less than impressed. There I said it. The movie Avatar was not at the top of my must see list. While I agreed that Animal Kingdom needed something, I wasn’t sure Pandora was going to be it. When I first saw the artist renderings at Disney Social Media Moms Celebration a few years ago, my interest peaked. Maybe I was wrong after all. Last year I had a chance to spend plenty of time in Pandora thanks to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and then again this past November when we were invited down to experience Disney for the Holidays. I had plenty of time to see just how wrong I was. It was exquisite and like nothing I had ever seen. Within seconds of stepping foot into Pandora, it took my breath away. There are a few things to know before you go, so I hope this Guide to Pandora The World of Avatar helps you plan your trip a bit better.

I’m a firm believer that one of the best gifts you can give your children are experiences through travel. The memories made will long outlive the action figures or toys that will only get played with a few times before they’re on to the next it thing. I’ve been traveling with both of my kids since they were infants.  Over the years, we’ve made more memories and enjoyed more experiences and experienced more joy than a bunch of toys could ever do. It’s no secret Walt Disney World holds a special place in my heart. It’s where we took our first real family vacation. It’s where my husband and I got engaged. Walt Disney World is the perfect place to make magical memories and now it’s even easier to give the magic of Disney as a gift! I mean who wouldn’t want a trip to Disney whether it’s for Christmas or just because. I know I would love it. Now it’s easier than ever to reveal a surprise Disney trip with these ideas.
