Adventure Awaits!

 Our last family adventure was at the end of December, it was only a few months ago, but a lot has happened since then. It feels like it was FOREVER ago! Our next adventure is just around the corner, though! In just over two weeks we’ll be leaving Texas and starting our road trip towards our new home in South Carolina.

Just like to get anywhere, we’ll be spending most of our first day on the road driving in Texas. We’re planning on stopping for the first night in Louisiana, and continuing with our road trip tradition of pizza for dinner on the first night. After that we’ll drive through a bigger part of Mississippi than we have in the past, and then stop in Alabama for the night. The plans for that night involve checking out an ice cream shop that we found online during our pre-trip research.

On the last day of the trip, we’ll finishing driving through Alabama, drive through Georgia, and then make it to our house in South Carolina. The kids and I have never been to Georgia, or South Carolina, so we’re excited to add new states to the list of ones we’ve visited.

We’re all looking forward to moving! It’s funny, the last time we moved Christian was about to turn two. He loved helping to load the moving truck, but he didn’t really understand what was happening. Now, he’s helping to pack, he’s excited about loading the truck, and he’s incredibly excited about our new house that, “HAS TWO FLOORS!” Bella is excited, too. She’s going to turn three a few days after we complete our move, and for the last couple of weeks she’s keeps talking about going to South Carolina. She’s been helping to pack, too.

The move is going to be here crazy fast. When we started getting the house ready, and put it up for sale, it seemed like the two months before we left has a ton of time. Now we’re getting down to the wire, and there’s still SO MUCH that needs to be done, but most of it can’t be done until the last few days before we leave.

We’ll be sure to tell you about any fun places we check out along the way!

How far was your last move?!

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
