The thought of losing a child at Walt Disney World is a terrifying one. The parks are so big, and there are so many people. Luckily, park employees are trained on how to safely handle the situation. There are also some things you can do as a parent to help prepare your child.  Tips for Parents: Stay Calm I know, losing your child in such a crowded, big, unfamiliar place is terrifying. But please try to remain calm. I once encountered a woman who lost her child in the Magic Kingdom. She was hysterically crying and screaming. Guests and Cast Members were trying to help her out, but she just kept screaming at them. This is helping no one. Crying and screaming will not help you find your child. So take a deep breath. Cast Members are specially trained to handle this exact situation. They know exactly what to do and will help you out. You will find your child. Find the Nearest CM Go into the nearest gift shop and find a Cast Member. I suggest gift shops because usually gi...

Grab a snack at a produce stand There is at least one produce stand in every park. Here you will find fresh fruits, granola bars, juice, carrot sticks, sweet potato chips among other healthy options.  Anaheim Produce - Sunset Boulevard, near the Tower of Terror Harambe Fruit Market - in Africa, near Kilimanjaro Safaris Liberty Square Market - by the Hall of Presidents Prince Eric's Village Market - across from Ariel's castle The Land Cart - between the Land Pavilion and the Imagination Pavilion Substitute water for soda You should be doing this anyways at Walt Disney World to avoid dehydration from the Florida humidity. Soda will dehydrate you. And water i s cheaper than soda.  It's a win-win-win. Check menus before visiting The My Disney Experience App and Walt Disney World's website have menus to all the restaurants and food stands on property. Use this technology to inform yourself on what places serves what food. Make decisions where to eat based o...

Please note that this is not to knock Starbucks or Walt Disney World or the Cast Members that work in the Starbucks. All of these locations are wonderful. This is just an opinion piece, and is meant in light hearted nature. 6. Marketplace - Disney Springs This is meant as a "grab and go" place, so I will not be taking off points for no seating. The Starbucks is in a good location as it is right next to the stage where music and games are played. However, lines can build rather quickly and it is a bit of a walk from both the parking garage and the bus drop-off.  It is located between World of Disney, the biggest shop on property so this location can become very crowded. There is no themeing to this location - it just looks like a regular Starbucks kiosk.  5. Fountain View - EPCOT EPCOT's Starbucks location is ranked low mostly because of theming. It's a gray and white colors are less futuristic and more boring. There is some seating outside, but it is...

One day my friends decided to Disney Bound as the fairies. They asked me which one I wanted to be and I had no clue. I had never seen a Tinkerbell / Fairies movie despite that the franchise was already 8 years old. But after a brief description of the fairies from my friends, I decided to go as Silvermist, the water fairy.  That was a year ago. Just recently I decided it was about time for me to check out this franchise. So I sat down and watched 2008's Tinkerbell. It was not as bad as I anticipated. Sure, there were some cheesy moments and the animation was crude. The movie's strong point was the voice acting of all the different characters. Tinkerbell has an all star cast with Kristen Chenoweth, Lucy Lui, Raven Simone and Jesse McCartney. Tinkerbell is voiced by none other than Mae Whitman. I am a big fan of Mae and she did not disappoint. I also really liked all the different characters, each with their unique talents and personalities. I think little girls could easil...
