Travel with the Whitakers

At the Walt Disney World Resort guests can feel as though they have shrunk down to be the size of toys at Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios! Our family loves Toy Story, and we were all really excited when Toy Story Land was officially announced, when it opened, and especially when we got to finally visit the land as part of your trip last month! Today we have for you a look into Toy Story Land. From the moment the land was officially announced Disney fans everywhere eagerly awaited the opening of a land that would allow guests to see the world from the point of view of a toy. The highly anticipated Toy Story Land opened on June 30, 2018. Getting to Toy Story Land is simple – once you enter into Hollywood Studios follow the sidewalk or street to the area right to the right of the Chinese Theater. Using the steps or the ramp make your way towards Walt Disney Presents (formerly One Man’s Dream.) You have now found your way to Toy Story Land, now what? The new Toy Story

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been back from our last Disney Cruise for just over a month. We had an amazing time onboard the Disney Fantasy! We knew that the cruise would be magical, but we were happily surprised that we like the Fantasy more than we thought we would! It is a lot bigger than the Wonder, which we know like the back of our hand, and it is set up differently. Each ship is different, and each ship is magical! We loved our time on the Fantasy and we’re looking forward to the sailings we have booked on the Dream and the Wonder in 2020. Today we have for you an overview of the Fantasy. It is a “deck plan” with explanations of different locations around the ship. Deck 1 Health Center - First Aid and non-emergency needs can be met during clinic hours. For emergencies a doctor and a nurse are on call 24/7. Tender Lobby Deck 2 Staterooms Launderette Midship Detective Agency – Search for clues around the ship to solve mysteries with Mickey and

As a family we LOVE Irish food, and Raglan Road offers great food in a great atmosphere. If you’ve never been to Raglan Road you’re missing out! Atmosphere Located in the heart of Disney Springs Raglan Road is a mix of restaurant and lively Irish pub that serves up modern takes on traditional Irish eats. The chefs and owners of Ragland Road, you know that you’ll get an authentic experience here! Throughout the day guests can experience live entertainment, including Irish dancing and music, right in the middle of the restaurant. It’s a lively place with great fun and great eats! If you prefer a table be sure to make a reservation in advance for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. Seating is also available on the outdoor patio and at the bar. The Food The meal begins with Brown Bread with Guinness Glaze. Soft bread that’s delicious on its own is even more delicious when dipped in the glaze made from Guinness and sugar that’s brought to the table with it.   Sin

As we mentioned in our last post we had such an amazing trip last month! Before we get into the details of dining at both Disney World and aboard the Disney Fantasy and the amazing Star Wars Day at Sea activities that we participated in we have some important information to share with you all. A few days ago I read a post on Facebook that eventually led to comments stating that they weren’t sure if they should feel safe leaving their children in the youth clubs onboard cruise ships. Should you feel safe, YES! That post has influenced this post – not only should you feel safe with your little ones having loads of fun in the youth clubs – you should feel safe in all aspects of your cruise. With that said, today we’re going to talk about safety and security on the Disney Cruise Line ships. Before Boarding When you book a cruise (or I book it for you!) your information is given to the cruise line and then run through a system to make sure that no one dangerous can come on b
