New Book! How To Manage Food Allergies At Disney World

7/6/2021

While the continuation of our multipart series on Who would win: Disney World, Dollywood, or Hershey Park is on the way, I wanted to stop and share what's been keeping me so busy. 

My book is finally finished, edited, beta read, reedited, formatted, and artwork completed. It's my hope that this book has something for everyone. 

The book is split into two parts. The first half is for those who need dietary considerations at Disney World. Anyone who might need to know ahead of time what to ask, how to order, what to watch out for. 

The second half are those tips and tricks for saving you wish were all in one place along with a lot of practical advice.

This book was designed to be easy to slip into your bag for vacation, or passed around before hand. It's NOT overwhelming! It's actually going to be the thing that lets you enjoy your vacation with a minimum of stress. 

I'd love to hear what you think if you buy my book. Reviews are always appreciated, so that small books like this, have a chance to show up in Amazon's algorithm, to help those who need it to find it. 

Want to buy a copy? Click here or the picture at the top! 

Thank you for your support over the years! There will be a special giveaway coming soon to promote my new book!

Magic Kingdom Touring Plan ages 7-12  10 Rides in 4 1/2 hours

1/16/2018

There is so much at the Magic Kingdom for kids of all ages, but if you are especially wanting to focus on the older ones who like to go on rides that are a little faster, have the ability to sit on longer rides, or offer the chance to explore for a little while, we've got a plan for you! It doesn't even use fastpasses, which could cut your time more, or, use them on the rides that get busier later in the day. Magic Kingdom is HUGE and if you don't have an idea of where you want to go and what you want to ride, the lines are going to get long, and you'll get frustrated. That's why we are here!

This plan starts at 9am (meaning, you've gotten through the parking lot, security, and are ready to ride at 9am) and goes to 12:30pm. You'll ride 11 rides all through out Magic Kingdom, explore Tom Sawyer's Island (can you find the treasure without getting lost in the cave?) and end just in time for a late lunch! 

Need a touring plan for your younger kids? Just click here!

Ready? Grab your sunscreen, and be sure to do all of the rides in this order, to make the touring plan work for you! 


        1.  Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin -- Aim for the Z's! Help the Space ranger Corps
            defeat evil Emperor Zurg! This is an awesome black light ride. 

        2.  Pirates of the Caribbean -- This classic ride has gotten an update but is just as exciting 
              as ever


        3.  Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -- A good beginning coaster, with really fun old west
             theming. 


       4.  Splash Mountain -- Did you know this ride is 18 minutes long? It also offers a great way
             to cool off at the end! 


      5.  Seven Dwarves Mine Train -- another great beginner coaster and the newest at Magic
       Kingdom. It slows at points to let you see scenes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,
          including the inside of the mine glittering with gems. 


     6.  Mickey's Philharmagic- is a fantastic theatre style 4D short film. You'll experience wind
        guesting you, water misting you, and...what was that smell?! It's an awesome show that
        will have you humming long after. 


    7.  Haunted Mansion-- Older kids will appreciate the humor and the visual effects in this not 
          really scary 10 minute ride in a Doombuggy


     8.  Tom Sawyer Island-- We've got 30  minute's planned for this stop. That's enough to
         explore the island, visit the old buildings, get lost in the cave and hopefully find the
         treasure.  If you're lucky, you'll get to play an old fashioned game of checkers while waiting
         for the raft to ferry you back over to Frontierland. 


      9.  Astro Orbiter-- This ride is more fun for the older kids because while it's basically
​          spaceship, ala Dumbo ride, the fact it's much, ,much higher really adds to the thrill.


     11. Peoplemover-- This one is fun, you'll get to ride high above Tomorrowland and even get
           to see a little bit of Space Mountain


Finish all of that by just after 1:30pm! After lunch you've got your whole afternoon, AND you still have your fast passes open to go back on favorite rides, or get to others you didn't have a chance for! Adventureland might be beckoning with the pirate treasure hunt, or maybe the hotel for a  nap and a swim! 

Don't forget to pick up your map at your Resort, or at the entrance to the park!

Ready? Grab your sunscreen, and be sure to do all of the rides in this order, to make the touring plan work for you! 


        1.  Meet Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theatre -- Mickey has a short break between magic
             shows to meet his guests! He sings, dances and talks with you, too! 

        2.  Magic Carpets of Alladin -- Watching out for the spitting camels! 

        3.  Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin -- Aim for the Z's! Help the Space ranger Corps
            defeat evil Emperor Zurg! This is an awesome black light ride. 

       4.  Mad Tea Party -- such a fun ride, even though it's so short! Climb aboard your favorite
           teacup, and watch for the Dormouse!

      5.  Dumbo the flying Elephant-- This touring plan doesn't account for any time your child
          might want to play in the circus themed play area, but it's a fun air conditioned stop if you
          need one!

     6.  Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid-- This has such amazing animatronics! You'll
           ride in a giant clamshell throughout Ariel's story. 

    7.  Prince Charming Regal Carousal -- A huge carousel with different sized horses that you
         never have to wait long to ride!

     8.  Peter Pan's Flight-- It's worth going through the interactive queue, there are some
       amazing surprises there, before Tinkerbell sprinkles you with Pixie Dust and you fly over
​       Neverland

      9.  It's a Small World-- a charming little boat ride through brightly colored areas
           representing every country

    10. The Many Advenures of Winnie The Pooh -- It's hard to get me off this ride. Ride along in
           a honey pot on a blustery day! The interactive queue is fun for all ages! 

     11. Peoplemover-- This one is fun, you'll get to ride high above Tomorrowland and even get
           to see a little bit of Space Mountain

     12. Disney Railroad, Main Street Station -- Every single time we try and go on this it rains, or
         has lightning, so we have never gotten to ride, but this is a fun little 20 minute (if you do 
        the full loop) ride all around the Magic Kingdom on a real narrow gauge steam engine! 


Finish all of that by just after 12pm! After lunch you've got your whole afternoon, AND you still have your fast passes open to go back on favorite rides, or get to others you didn't have a chance for! Adventureland might be beckoning with the pirate treasure hunt, or maybe the hotel for a  nap and a swim!

Have you ever wondered just how much you can do in a morning if you have a touring plan? Look at that map! Hollywood Studios has a lot of little back areas that make for a lot of walking! Disney Magic Mommy is going to show you how you can make the most of a morning at Hollywood Studios and do TEN attractions in just 3 hours! Even better? WITHOUT fastpasses, so you can save those for your afternoon when the lines get longer, or for park hopping!


Want to have a touring plan for the other parks? We've got a 4 week series for you!


Click here for 9 attractions in 3 hours at Epcot
Click here for 10 attractions in 3 hours at Animal Kingdom 
Click here for 10 attractions in 3 hours at Magic Kingdom
Click here for Magic Kingdom Ages 2-6, 12 rides in 3 1/2 hours
Click here for Magic Kingdom Ages 7-12, 10 rides in 4 1/2 hours

It's important to start the morning off right. Do your best to get to the park with enough time to get through security before your starting time. Usually 30 to 45 minutes does the trick.


We are starting out our day when the gates open. (That means, you are at the park, already through security and ready to roll!)  Do these attractions in this order, and you're going to get to do TEN awesome things including headliners in just 3 hours! That includes walking time from place to place.


Hollywood Studios Overview


Hollywood Studios has a reputation for being a half day park especially now that so many attractions are closed to make way for Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land. It's not really, there is a lot to see and do if you take your time, but you CAN do a lot in just a few hours. Follow our plans, and you can do TEN things in just 3 hours! That includes walking form place to place. Follow the steps in order! There is so much to experience at Hollywood Studios, I hope you will have the chance to explore it, if you haven’t already.




           1. Rockin Coaster with Aerosmith : Jump aboard your limo and race to the show! ​

           2. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: Will you make it out alive?

          3. Star Tours: The Adventure Continues: Help the Rebel Spy escape the empire in this 3D                  ride

          4. Minnie and Mickey Starring in Red Carpet Dreams: Meet sorcerer Mickey and Hollywood               Glamour Minnie

          5. Toy Story Mania: Join the other toys in a fun carnival style 3D ride
 
          6. Meet BB8 : The new Star Wars Universe cutie!  

          7. Meet Chewbacca: He growls! He hugs! He doesn't smell like a walking carpet!  

         8. Meet Kylo Ren: Let's hope you are wearing a shirt showing your support of the First                       Order  

         9. Star Wars Launch Bay: Check out the awesome movie props, watch a movie, get                           stopped by the Stormtroopers and trade with the Jawas!  

       10. Ride Star Tours one more time, or check out the next showing in the Star Wars theater            now that you're in the Star Wars mood!

Finish all of that, and stop off for some lunch! Backlot Express has Star Wars themed food, FREE DRINK REFILLS and a great view of the Jedi Training if you still haven’t gotten your fill of Star Wars. That leaves you with 3 open fast passes and a while afternoon to explore the other wonderful things in Hollywood Studios!

Disney Magic Mommy is going to show you how you can make the most of a morning at Animal Kingdom, and do TEN attractions in just 3 hours! Even better? WITHOUT fastpasses, so you can save those for your afternoon (Or Pandora!)

It's important to start the morning off right. Do your best to get to the park with enough time to get through security before your starting time. Usually 30 to 45 minutes does the trick.


Let's go do TEN Attractions in 3 hours including headliners!


Animal Kingdom Overview


Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite Disney Parks! You spend most of your time under the canopy of trees, so it feels much cooler. There's also just something really relaxing about the Park. You tend to move slower and enjoy more. There are tons of wonderful things to see, tiny details that you might miss if you don't linger. There is so much to experience at Animal Kingdom, I hope you will have the chance to explore it, if you haven’t already.


We are starting out our day when the park opens. (That means, you are at the park, already through security and ready to roll!)  Do these attractions in this order, and you're going to get to do TEN awesome things in just 3 hours! That includes walking time from place to place. Follow the steps in order! 

  1. Expedition Everest – Can you escape from the Yeti on this coaster?

  2. Primeval Whirl – Spinning, drops and reminiscent of a old fashioned carnival ride

  3. DINOSAUR – Travel back in time but try not to get eaten! Be sure to look at the dinosaur exhibits

  4. Triceratops Spin – Flying dinos that go round and round or up and down... (Dumbo ride, dino style)

  5. Meet Mickey and Minnie at the Adventurers Outpost – stop by to say hello and get some photos!

  6. Kali River Rapids – ride a tube raft down the rapids. Prepare to get wet!

  7. Take the Marajah Jungle Trek – what majestic animals will you see hiding?

  8. Kilmanjaro Safaris – hop aboard the safari we talked about recently, and snap your own pics!

  9. Gorillila Falls Exploration Trail – primates hanging out in the trees!

  10. Discover Island Trails – Discover what's in store for you here...



There you have it!! There's still time to do plenty at the park,  but we'd suggest an early lunch to beat the crowds and get a prime seat. You're already right next to Flame tree BBQ, one of our favorites! Grab a bite, and sit overlooking the water!



Don't forget to pick up your map at your Resort, or at the entrance to the park!
