Traveling with an infant is not always easy, but it is possible and it is worth it! We have traveled with ALL of our babies at young ages and have seen many benefits of starting to travel with them while they are young (they are all excellent travelers!). Wanting to make a trip with your baby but not sure how? Here are my tips for successfully traveling with an infant:
I know no explanation is needed. I know our money is our money and how we spend it is our priority. However. I feel that when you're fundraising for adoption AND going to Disney World that it can seem unaligned. I know we recently started a financial type class in our Bible Study at church and that many people in our class commented on the amount of trips our little family takes. They said they didn't realize how we spend so little on travel and how we DO maximize savings etc. I know I mention it often in blog posts but I thought it made sense to explain it ALL in one post that I can then link to in the future! I know I talk a lot about saving money and spending wisely and I never want anyone to get the wrong impression about our family and our spending habits. Here is how we personally afford our Disney vacations. Disney is actually cheaper for us right now than going to the beach! We are also blessed that Zach works for Aflac so the trips we go on through them are FREE for...
Today is Babywise Friendly Blog Network Week! I'm posting at Wiley Adventures about how to parent while it feels like your world is crashing down and Carrie is posting here with some GREAT tips for road trips with kids! We have taken so many road trips with our four kids, that I have started to prefer car driving to flying with kids. As a family, we all really like to travel and now that our kids are getting a little older, they are able to really enjoy it too. Since my oldest was born, we have traveled several times a year to see family or for family vacations. We have logged thousands of miles across Texas, and are started to get our fair share in across the southern states now too. Each of my kids are different in the car, which shouldn’t surprise me. One of the things I notice and talk about the most with them is how different they each are from each other. They each have their own quirks and that doesn’t change when we strap them into their seats and hit ...
We are very blessed to live within a short driving distance to Disney World. We are able to go on short, quick trips to the parks multiple times a year which allows us to take on Disney in a more affordable way. I know most people don't live near Orlando and therefore have to take longer, larger trips in order to have a Disney vacation. If you are just going to have ONE day at Disney World then Magic Kingdom is the park for you. And if you are having multiple park days? Then I still recommend having one "go big or go home" Magic Kingdom day. These are my tips that are specific to Magic Kingdom and making the most of ONE day at the home of Cinderella's Castle! Plan, Plan, Plan Planning is SO important when it comes to a Disney Vacation. Magic Kingdom is THE most popular park so it's crucial to plan accordingly. I personally LOVE Touring Plans. It's an excellent site that maps out the expected crowd levels for each day at the park. We always...
