VLOG: Fun Times at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom for the day!

by 1 Comment


Thanks to Disney for the complimentary tickets we received. We were provided some tickets from Disney and purchased the rest out-of-pocket. We also paid for all of our meals and souvenirs out of our own pocket. πŸ™‚

Hi, guys! In today’s video, we share our adventures at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom for the day! This was part of our 2018 Florida Family Vacation and I’m so glad that we can share it with you!

In this video, we go on lots of Disney rides, eat snacks, and even spend $273 for a meal for our family of seven at Liberty Tree Tavern! We all had the ALL-YOU-CARE-TO-ENJOY Patriot’s Platter that we’ve been wanting to try for so long, and it turned out to be a great family meal. Dessert was way too sweet though so just be aware of that if you decide to have lunch or dinner there.

We also pick up some more souvenirs (of course!) and, all in all, it was a fantastic day! I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching! πŸ™‚

P.S. You can see all the videos of our Florida vacation in the playlist here.

by 1 Comment


Hi, guys! Today, I’m sharing vlog #2 in our Family of 7 Florida Vacation vlog series! In this second vlog, we go shopping at the Disney Character Warehouse Outlet Store in Orlando, Florida. We then head to Disney Springs (aka Downtown Disney) to have lunch, a little more fun, and do some shopping!

We ended up eating at Blaze Pizza but we also tried a cheeseburger from D-Luxe Burger. It was so good! After we went back to our room, I shared our haul for the day and it includes an adorable blue Mickey Mouse plush that is SO cute! We wrapped up the day with swimming and an easy dinner in our room. I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching! πŸ™‚
