I know this might be a controversial opinion... ๐Ÿ˜…

There are bigger rides.
There are newer rides.
There are definitely rides with shorter songs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But there is just something about It's a Small World that feels like Disney to me.

Maybe it's the nostalgia.
Maybe it's the simple reminder to slow down for a few minutes.
Maybe it's because every time I ride it, I look over and see the wonder on my boys' faces.

I didn't grow up going to Disney. In fact, I didn't visit for the first time until I was 28 years old.

Maybe that's why creating these memories with my own children means so much to me. I get to experience the magic through their eyes while making up for all the Disney trips I never had as a kid. โค๏ธ

So while it may not be everyone's favorite ride, it will always be one of mine.

Tell me: What ride makes you feel like you've officially arrived at Disney? ๐Ÿ‘‡โœจ

โœจ Build Your Perfect Disney Day โœจ

You only get ONE choice...

๐Ÿฐ Team A:
โ˜€๏ธ Rope Drop
๐Ÿ˜Ž Midday Resort Break
๐ŸŽ† Fireworks

OR

๐ŸŒด Team B:
๐Ÿ˜ด Sleep In
๐ŸŠ Pool Day
๐ŸŒ™ Extended Evening Hours

As an early-rising Disney family, we're definitely Team A... but I have to admit, Team B sounds pretty tempting when my alarm goes off at 5:30 AM. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So let's settle this...

Are you Team A or Team B? ๐Ÿ‘‡

And don't just voteโ€”tell me WHY. I want to hear your Disney strategy!

Packing for Disney and these are a few things that ALWAYS make it into my park bag! ๐ŸŽ’โœจ

๐Ÿ”‹ Portable Charger
Between taking hundreds of pictures, checking wait times, mobile ordering, and using the My Disney Experience app all day, my battery doesn't stand a chance without one.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Stroller Fans
I cannot stress enough how much we love these! We usually bring one for each of the boys and one attached to the stroller handle for me. They are a lifesaver on those hot Florida days.

๐Ÿ’ง Refillable Water Bottles
A must-have for our family! We stop at quick-service locations throughout the parks and fill them up with complimentary ice water all day long.

๐Ÿ’Š Small Medicine Container
This little thing has saved us more times than I can count. Headaches, sore feet, upset stomachsโ€”you never know what you'll need during a long park day.

๐Ÿ‘œ Large Carabiner
One of my favorite Disney hacks! We clip extra bags, souvenirs, and snacks right onto the stroller instead of carrying everything ourselves.

These are just a few of our favorites! โค๏ธ

โœจ You can find all of these and more in my Park Day Essentials list here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGQBCWORWND5B6FS5YK4DAJWV7SQ/list/226OPAWZXGT5W?ref=customerprofile

What is ONE thing you never go to Disney without? ๐Ÿ‘‡

06/10/2026

If I had to choose between THESE two Disney splurgesโ€ฆ Iโ€™m picking photos every time ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ

WORTH IT:
๐Ÿ“ธ Memory Maker

NOT WORTH IT:
๐Ÿ› Buying every souvenir

The pictures of your family laughing, hugging characters, and making memories? Youโ€™ll treasure those forever ๐Ÿ’›

Most souvenirs end up forgotten at homeโ€ฆ but the memories never will โœจ

Whatโ€™s one Disney purchase you think is actually worth it? ๐Ÿ‘‡

06/08/2026

Big dreams don't always start big. Sometimes they begin with one little sparkโ€”a new idea, a moment of courage, or a decision to take that first step. Don't underestimate what can grow from a single spark. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ

๐Ÿ”ฅ Disney Hot Take ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I will absolutely watch Happily Ever After at least once every trip (usually from the Dessert Party because it's one of my favorite splurges ๐Ÿ˜)...

BUT...

After I've seen it once, you'll probably find me riding attractions during the fireworks. ๐ŸŽ†

Shorter wait times.
A completely different view of the park.
And honestly? Watching the fireworks while soaring above Fantasyland on Dumbo might be one of my favorite views in all of Disney World.

So here's my hot take:

Watching Happily Ever After once? A must-do.

Riding attractions while everyone else is watching it? Even better. ๐Ÿ‘€

Agree or disagree? What's your Disney hot take? ๐Ÿ‘‡

06/07/2026

I'll go first... ๐Ÿ‘€

One piece of Disney advice I don't always agree with:

"You have to stay from rope drop until fireworks."

Listen... if that's your thing, go for it!

But sometimes the best Disney memories happen when you slow down, take a midday break, enjoy your resort, or call it a day before everyone is exhausted.

Not every Disney trip has to be a marathon. โœจ

What's a piece of Disney advice that you think is overrated?

๐Ÿฉ Happy National Donut Day! ๐Ÿฉ

Some families collect souvenirs.

Some families collect popcorn buckets.

My family apparently collects pictures of my son attempting to conquer giant Disney donuts. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Getting one of those massive donuts from Joffrey's has become a tradition on every trip, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

The donut disappears.
The memories don't.

What's a snack tradition your family never skips at Disney?

06/04/2026

Our Disney tradition isn't a ride, a restaurant, or even a park. โค๏ธ

It's making time for the moments that never make it onto the itinerary.

โœจ The spontaneous dance parties in front of the castle
โœจ Stopping everything to watch the Toy Soldiers march by
โœจ Discovering that my son apparently cannot walk past the Moana fountains without sticking his head in them ๐Ÿ˜‚

The rides are amazing.
The snacks are delicious.
But somehow it's these little moments that become everyone's favorite memories.

What's a Disney memory your family still talks about years later?
