Recently I had the privilege of attending the 12th annual Disney Dreamers Academy event as a media guest of Walt Disney World. The students plus one parent or guardian receive an all expense paid trip to Disney World so they can participate in this life-changing event. Now that you know more about this incredible event, here is the truth about Disney Dreamers Academy: Please encourage your eligible teen and spread the word wherever you can that they can apply online or by mail (download the application here) from 3/21/19-10/31/19. Congratulations to the Disney Dreamers Academy class of 2019.

Here is what I use: Tide PODS®, available at Walmart, are new and improved, easy to use 4-in-1 laundry solution with concentrated Tide detergent, extra odor fighters and stain fighters along with built in pre-treaters. They are perfect for getting the dirt out of my daughter’s horseback riding clothes and the smell of sweat out of the boys’ workout clothes. * Tide PODS®, available at Walmart, are new and improved, easy to use 4-in-1 laundry solution with concentrated Tide detergent, extra odor fighters and stain fighters along with built in pre-treaters.

With Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, kids have access to over 20,000 age-appropriate books, Audible books, educational apps and more. The best part is once parents sign-up for Amazon FreeTime Unlimited (the app is also available for download on iOS and Android), that same subscription can be used on any compatible device. This includes Fire tablets, Fire Kids Edition tablets, compatible Android and iOS phones and tablets, and compatible Echo devices, The FreeTime Unlimited content experience varies based on the device. They provide summaries and sample questions for parents to ask kids based upon the books, videos, Audible books, educational apps and websites they are using.

When it comes to getting inside a crowded Disney World park, you definitely want to get past security and through the gates so you can tap your magic band and enter with as little hassle as possible. When you get stuck in a slow line, it can potentially set a negative tone for your day, and it’s important to get Disney days started with lots of positive momentum. Magic Kingdom has a gate for Cast Members, that most regular guests don’t use, even though it is actually open to everyone (never enter a place that is marked Cast Members Only). It’s the perfect time to have reservations at a cool indoor restaurant where you can recharge and gear up for round two in the park.
