When Chris and I first found out we were pregnant we couldn’t wait to do a gender reveal. Both of us had originally wanted to throw a party for our family and friends and find out with them, but as the time got closer to find out we realized that a large party wasn’t what we really wanted. During ...
One of the most difficult parts of a Disney Vacation (for me at least) is choosing which Fastpasses to get at each park. Especially if Chris and I are only going for a few days and don't have the opportunity to visit the same park multiple times on a trip. I've always felt that Hollywood Studios ...
Next month Chris and I are heading down to Disney for our last visit before the baby arrives. What's the occasion? Star Wars Weekends of course! Chris and I had gone every year since 2012 and it has gotten better and better each time we go. We are so excited to go back this year and take ...
As I sit here on the couch listening to the rain fall for the third day in a row, I'm finding myself wishing we were back in Florida enjoying the warm sunshine and good food. It's only been a month since our last visit, but for some reason it feels so much longer. Maybe it's because the weather ...
Last year I wrote a post about visiting Disney World in the Fall, my absolute favorite time of the year to visit the parks. And in the spirit of keeping things fair, I wanted to tell you all the things that I also love about visiting in the Spring. Because there are quite a few fun things that ...
One of the best parts of a Disney vacation is the entertainment that the different parks offer. Some of my favorite shows are located at the Magic Kingdom, which kind of makes sense since it is my favorite park! Their recent parade addition, the Festival of Fantasy, is the best Disney parade I've ...
Ever since I was a little girl I have loved Disney. The movies, the music, the amusement parks, I loved it all. And as I grew up that love never faded. I think it may even have grown as the years went on. When I met Chris, we both bonded over our fondness of the Disney parks. He ...
Last week when Chris and I were at Disney we took the opportunity to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We had gone to the party last year but didn't really know what to expect so we spent a lot of time wandering around aimlessly trying to figure out what we wanted to do and see. This year ...
Ever since getting married in 2012 Chris and I have made a point to head down to Disney World for Christmas. For me, the holiday season hasn't started until I see the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights or Cinderella's Castle all lit up with her holiday lights. It's the very best time of the ...
Every avid Disney-goer has packing essentials for their Disney vacation. They're the people who always seem to have extra bags to carry in to the resort full of things they need and always have extras of. You know you've seen them! They even get the weird looks from other guests and employees who ...
It happens to all of us avid Disney goers. Those moments where you need to sit down to relax, take a breather from all the magic, and find an air-conditioned room or else you may just go crazy. If you don't know where to go, it can be stressful and the best option may be just to head ...
As the Pinterest Party came to a close and Chris and I sat in the kitchen talking about the events of the day, I started to wonder what in the world I would write about for today's Disney post. I was halfway listening to a story about his adventures at the office that morning when I suddenly (and ...
Are you planning an adult-only Disney trip? Check out my activities for adults at Disney World, five tips to guarantee a good time! I know a lot of people think that Disney vacations are just for kids, but they are so wrong. Disney is for adults to! Chris and I have been going since 2009 ...
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. It's magical and makes me feel like I'm five years old again, waiting for Santa to bring me presents and staying up late to see if I can hear the reindeer on the roof. Nothing brings back the feelings of nostalgia and childlike wonder than ...
When Chris and I got engaged in 2011 our first thought was "how the heck are we going to do this?". As a little girl, I never dreamed that we would have the difficult task of deciding where to have the ceremony. Since both of our families live on opposite coasts we had the unique task of picking a ...
For those of us with severe allergies, going out to eat or to a theme park can be a dreadful experience. The fear of cross contamination can ruin even the nicest of days and the best of meals. I will admit that Disney is one of the only places I always feel safe at with my severe allergy to all ...
Epcot's Food and Wine Festival is our favorite event at the park. Every year from September to November each country at Epcot's World Showcase puts up a booth and offers you different food selections from countries around the world. One dish we have every year, multiple times, is the Boeuf ...
Chris and I love the Halloween Party (MNSSHP) at Disney's Magic Kingdom. We went for the first time ever last year and had such a great time that we knew we wanted to go back this year. Last year we went as Iron Man and Pepper Potts, but no one knew who I was so I was really disappointed with my ...
I have a confession....I am so not over Disney's Frozen. Ever since it came out last year I have been ridiculously mildly obsessed with it. And it seems like the folks at Disney are all too ready to cash in on the Frozen obsession that has swept the nation. Over the summer at Hollywood Studios ...
I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today. I was looking through a bunch of my favorite Disney photos on Flickr and one of my favorite photographers, Bobby Meade, is letting me share some of his awesome work on the blog today! Chris and I are heading to Disney today, and I cannot believe the number of ...
Two weeks ago, Chris guest posted on the blog and wrote what he was looking forward to the launch of Disney Infinity 2.0. We've had the game for a little over a week now and I think it is safe to say that our expectations for the new game have been met, and it is much better than we thought it was ...
Hi! I'm Alexis, and I'm back for another round here at Crafty Wife! This time I'm sharing how we did Disney in one day (with a toddler)! Recently, we were in Orlando for a wedding and we had only one day to spare, so of course we decided to go to Disney! My toddler had never been and he was about ...
(This post contains affiliate links!) It's almost time for the second We've been anxiously counting down the days to the Disney Infinity 2.0 release ever since it was announced earlier this year. Chris and I have been big fans of Disney Infinity since its initial release last year, and it has become ...
I am a huge parade fan at Disney World. I love seeing all my favorite characters in one place, listening to the music, and seeing all of the costumes. Chris, however, isn't a fan of parades. Growing up 30 minutes from Disneyland ment that he would go all of the time. And he figured out that the ...
