I didn’t grow up visiting Disney World and neither did my kids.  But, after our youngest child became a cast member, I became a total convert.  I visit as often as I can and with each visit, I check out a new way to explore the Parks.  My latest obsession? The Sorcerer Game at Magic Kingdom.

Welcome to the “Last Frontier”.  If Alaska is on your bucket list of “Must Do” travel experiences, then you are not alone.  Let me give you an overview of Alaska and insight on the best ways to travel and see its points of interest. Best of all, I lived in Alaska for 12 years, and Michele was born and raised in Anchorage! What better travel experts!

​I know, I am stepping out and opening myself up, but I officially declare the best Disney snack is.... the Dole Whip.  I am a late convert to Disney.  As a child, I visited Disneyland, once, and then didn't return to Disney World until later in life.  But, one of my first experiences at Disney Word was this amazing treat the Dole Whip.

​I always want my Disney experience to be ... magical.  Part of that is where I choose to stay while visiting.  You never can go wrong staying on a Disney property.  But, do you consider the Value resorts first?  I guess I am a frugal traveler, which is why they are always my first choice.

As a rule, we never really spend too much time in our rooms, which means, I don't spend a lot of money on my rooms.  But, I want comfort, value, and fun where I stay.  My first choice at Disney?  The All-Star Resorts.  They have amazing theming and the rooms are very comfortable.
