DISNEY PLANNING SERIES PART 5

Back to our regularly scheduled Disney Planning series! This time, I'm giving you a glimpse into my crazy planning and how I narrow day everything to ensure that we have the best time possible.

DISNEY PLANNING SERIES PART 4 VOLUME 2

I'm dishing details on FastPasses. Are you exhausted yet? I bet you didn't expect the planning to be this rigorous, but trust me, after all this planning is done, you will thank yourself once you get to the parks and can navigate like a pro!

DISNEY PLANNING SERIES PART 4 VOLUME 1

We're rolling along in this Disney Planning Series! Currently, we are about 6-7 months out from our trip, so I'm in the thick of planning as we're going through the timeline. Just as we did in Part 3 (HERE), we are going to break down the bullet list for the 8-7 Months Out. This is when things start getting real serious because at 180 days out, you can start actually applying these plans for your dining reservations and then 60 days out - game on!!! 

DISNEY PLANNING SERIES PART 3

If you've been following my Disney Planning Series, then you know that during my Part 2 post (HERE), I gave you a timeline for how I like to plan my trip. Now, we are going to actually start the planning process - hip, hip, hooray!

DISNEY PLANNING SERIES PART 2

I mentioned in my Disney Planning Steps (click HERE) that I want to take you along my planning for Disney World. I think it definitely helps to get an inside view of how people plan their Disney trips.

DISNEY PLANNING STEPS

May 2019, we took our first family Disney vacation to Walt Disney World. To say the very, very least, it was every bit magical and wonderful as we dreamed. After coming home, we had so many friends ask about our vacation and were amazed to discover that we were able to experience so much and have a truly wonderful, fun-filled trip without it costing a fortune. Additionally, we learned A LOT and want to share those details including tips we were given, tricks we discovered, and more!

NEW DOCUSERIES - DOCUMENTING DISNEY

There is so much I want to share with you!!!


First off, for those that have been following me for a few years now know that I battled and defeated unexplained infertility. We welcomed our first little bouncing baby boy on August 23, 2016. What you don't know, because I failed to update this blog, is that we welcomed our second bouncing baby boy on May 1, 2018! It's been a whirlwind! First, we had no idea that we would ever get pregnant with our first - mainly because Dr's advised that it wasn't possible without IVF. However, we had some tricks up our sleeves, and within 5-6 months, we were naturally pregnant. Then, we found out just 1 day before our first son's first birthday that we were expecting again!

We are blessed!

I know I've already said it, but I really do have so many things I want to share with you.

However, this post is going to be specifically about our new Blog Docu-Series called
"Documenting Disney."

We have FINALLY booked our family vacation to Disney World. I have planned and researched, and planned and researched, and was able to score a 7 night, 8 day stay on Disney World property for less than $2,000 for our family of four. In addition, we also have the Disney dining plan which means all of our meals are covered!

Since Disney World is a hot topic in most households, I thought I'd share all of the things I've learned. I have literally been planning and researching Disney for over 2 years and after hours and days, and weeks, and years, I have all of the information you need.

So, stay tuned for that!

And stay tuned for my 2018 recap post where I'm dishing the details on our crazy amazing 2018!

LIFE UPDATE {07.10.2017}

I feel like every time I think about Blogging, millions of other things somehow manage to make their way in front and distract me from writing, but I wanted to do a little update.

First off, it's hard to believe, but JMWR (our son), will be ONE next month! I am in awe over this kid. He has brought us so much joy and happiness, and we've truly enjoyed every second or every day with him. Currently, he has six teeth, still loves Disney music but really loves Mickey Mouse. He gets a kick out of all the Baby Einstein movies, and enjoys fruits, chicken, raviolis, chicken, eggs, but his all time favorite is PANCAKES! He can walk, but chooses to crawl in between because his legs get too tired. That's what happens when you're chunky, and if it was socially acceptable for adults to do that, you know we would!

Right now, we are in the works of planning his birthday party and trying to get all of the stuff together we will need to complete his birthday party. While we aren't sure if we are doing a big party or small, intimate party, we are eager to celebrate.  I have so many ideas, but don't want to spend a crazy amount of money if we are just doing something small. I'll update more on the party details once we figure it out.

Last time we caught up, I was staying home, but I decided that after four months, it was time to go back to work. I worked for GEICO for a while but was not happy there, and ended up returning to my old job. I LOVE it and love that JMWR gets to go to school to learn and play. While the occasional sicknesses from the other kiddos makes me regret school all together, the interaction and scheduled learning and activities, such as his finger paintings and crafts that he brings home and is so proud of, make me realize that it is a good thing and that he will benefit greatly from this early adventure in school.

Although, that's not all I've got going on, in all craziness, I am not only a Licensed Insurance Agent, I am also a Licensed Real Estate Agent in the state of Texas. I do not plan on using my Insurance license however, I am hoping that my Real Estate business grows more and more. It definitely takes work and determination to make it grow, but I am determined! In addition to my fulltime job and my Real Estate career, I also re-opened my photography business, under MeganRRichards Photography, check me out on Facebook. I have been taking classes and working hard to learn ways to keep my clients happy and provide the best service possible. I love being busy and being a mom and wife with three jobs is exhausting but so worth it. I look forward to the future and what possibilities, and doors, are available to me having each of these routes to take.

Oh, I still plan like crazy! While my planning habits are completely different, planning is the only way I stay organized with all the things going on in life. I still use the Erin Condren Life Planner, but now it is used for bill tracking and reminders of the little things that our little guy does. I also track anything I feel might help me long term, aka saving money. I plan on doing a "Plan with Me," to show others all of the ways you can plan, if you don't have the money to pay for a million stickers. While we are on the topic of planning, I think now is a great time to mention, we are officially going to Disney World! I am so darn excited, I could scream like a little girl on Christmas! I have dreamed about this day since I was a tiny little thing, and now I get to go and experience Disney magic with my own child, and my amazing husband (more on Disney in another post).

Overall, life has been FANTASTIC in every way possible. I cannot wait to share all of the fun Disney-related stuff that will make your trip amazing, and I look forward to sharing our future adventures with you.

As always, thank you for reading!
