our experience at the 2019 mickey's not-so-scary halloween party

Our family joined the grim, grinning, ghosts that came out to socialize on 8/20 at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!  Here's a tale of crowds, spooky snacks, pictures, crowds, character meet and greets, and like I said: crowds.

our august 2019 trip: a recap

Our week of pumpkins down Main St. USA, amazing ADRs, moonlit magic and not-so-scary fun is all said and done.  Now that we're home, we're left with just one question... can't we do it all over again?

august 2019 trip: everything i'm looking forward to

I'm back with yet another 2019 planning post!

Last year, I wrote this post in anticipation for our Thanksgiving trip, where I detailed everything new that I was looking forward to experiencing this year.  8 months have come and gone, and even more new and amazing experiences are waiting for me at Walt Disney World Resort!

preparing for your walt disney world resort vacation

Your ADRs were made six months ago, FP+ were last month's news, and today, your MagicBands arrived!  You're probably wondering: what else do I have to do?

your new park bff: the erin condren petiteplanner travel journal

There are certain things everyone should bring home from their Walt Disney World Resort vacation: a new pair of ears, an autograph from their favorite character, the latest map from their favorite park, and more than anything else-- a week's worth of brand new memories!

I like to keep my memories bright and shiny by using a travel journal to record them throughout the week.

how i planned our august 2019 trip to walt disney world

When I finished booking our FP+ plans for our Thanksgiving 2018 trip, I wrote this post about the planning process behind it.  I loved sharing that post with you guys, so I wanted to do it again this year!  I hope this can become something I do for tinkerkait every time my family goes on a trip.  Now that our FP+ date has come and gone, I'm ready to post our August 2019 plans!

Enjoy our timeline of events.
