Hiya Pals!

By Bridget O'Connell

​Hiya Pal!, as my friend Mickey Mouse would say!  For my family and I, our annual visits to Walt Disney World in Florida are the highlight of our year! My husband and I have 3 children, ages 7, 4 and 2. Traveling with small kids can be challenging and stressful, but it is worth it all when we see the smiles that light up our children’s faces! Over the years we have traveled to celebrate birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and many family milestones. One of our most memorable trips was a multi-generational trip that included Grandparents, Great Aunts and Uncles, Aunts, and cousins! Phew, planning for large groups can be stressful, but so worth it in the end! There is nothing more magical than boarding the Disney’s Magical Express to your resort hotel and feeling like you are part of the Disney Family! For the adults, especially the Grandparents and Great Aunts, seeing each park thought the eyes of the children gave this family vacation an entirely new meaning. We planned nightly character meals and every night it was great to sit down together and reflect on the successful day we had. My children and my niece loved being immersed in the movies and shows they love. The adults loved the rides, shows, attractions….and of course the food! Have you taken a multi-generational family trip? If not, lets start planning one together!
