Using the DAS Pass in Disney World- A Step-by-Step Guide
Have you heard of the DAS Pass but not sure what it is? If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World (or Land) and have members of your party who may find it difficult to spend a day in the Parks, then keep reading! For the purposes of this article I will only be referring to Disney World since I have personal experience with those Parks. Disneyland also uses this system. The overseas Parks operate differently. Updated September 2024: This past summer, Disney Parks changed their DAS process to dramatic response. I did not want to update this post until I had experienced the changes myself. This July we visited Disneyland…

How to Homeschool with Disney
Since Covid ruined our real vacation plans (originally posted Spring 2020), we had a Disney staycation last week. I’ve already posted about all of the amazing meals and theme nights we had, (see here) but we also had a week full of Disney activities for our homeschooling! The world of Disney gives us a wealth of literary, art, history, science and math homeschooling activities. Of course I consulted Pinterest for some inspiration and there ain’t a whole lot out there. One of the only Pins I found was from Thesparrowshome.com. She had some great ideas to get me started. Below are some of the ideas I used from The Sparrow’s…

Ohana means Family- Remembering the Magic of the Polynesian Resort
Ohana means family. It is also an amazing restaurant at the Polynesian Resort in Walt Disney World. One of our favorite Disney memories is dining here in 2017.

Taste the Magic of Disney: Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion-Inspired Taquitos Recipe
TLDR: An easy recipe for taquitos inspired by the Mexico pavilion at Disney’s Epcot. Originally posted May 2020 as part of my ‘Disney at Home’ series. I tweeted out a hint as to our Disney destination today, where do you think we’re going? Did you guess Epcot? Good job! Bienvenidos a Mexico! Epcot is occasionally my favorite Disney park. Even though it sometimes gets a bad wrap as the educational or boring park, it has a lot of the best food in all of Walt Disney World. Had I been feeling more adventurous I would’ve tackled fish n’ chips or the fanciest of French food for our Epcot dinner…but we’re…

Pandora Pinterest Fails-How NOT to make cuisine from Avatar
Way back when in the land we do not speak of-2020- I designed a Disney Staycation for my family. Up until this point, our Disney week at home has been full of all hits, no misses….until I “took” us to Pandora in the Animal Kingdom.
