Disney Vacation Planning with a Family
It’s impossible to see and do everything that Disney World has to offer in one visit. I have been countless times and have still not done everything. If you don't so some serious planning in advance, it will just seem like you are stuck in a whirl wind. Clients ask me all the time “What should we make sure we do?” or “What is not to be missed?”. What is important to one may not be important to the next person, so here is the best way to make sure everyone in your family has a … [Read more...]
