Hi strangers. We’re back from our not so little trip. And yes, it was simply magical. Or, as Mary Poppins would say, practically perfect in every way. Want to hear about it? Okay. Twist my arm why don’t you?
Our journey spanned sixteen nights. It started here.
Once we arrived, we enjoyed accommodations that varied from rustic and woodsy to distinguished and grand.

Our nine nights at Walt Disney World were filled to the brim with my favorite things. Starting with family.
And friends.
Food. {And wine of course}.
Plenty of fun and laughter.
And even a little bit of fame sprinkled in.
We met favorite characters.
But most of all, memories were made. And that’s exactly what we were aiming for.
The best part though? Once it came time to load up our minivan and head out, we weren’t Arizona bound. Not yet. Because our magical journey had really only begun. The time had come to set sail on this.
With this guy.
Our seven days at sea were simply dreamy. And port days were filled with adventure…
And, of course, plenty of relaxation. The likes of which I’d only dreamed of before.
All in all, our trip was truly {truly, truly, truly} fabulous. Absolutely magical. Completely memorable. In short, practically perfect in every way.
I have a lot to tell you. But it’s Monday. And there is a two-foot tall pile of mail beckoning. Not to mention the twelve loads of laundry waiting on me. The fourteen {yes, really} suitcases to be unpacked. And countless other back to reality type tasks.
I’ll be sharing stories and pictures all week. And for Disneyphiles like myself I’ll also be recapping highlights on my Disney with Darcie show tomorrow. I’d love for you to join me, especially if you have questions about planning a trip of your own.
I can hardly wait to tell you all about it.
