Unfiltered Travel Advice for Regular Parents, by Regular Parents

Welcome to our family travel blog focused on Disney, DVC, cruising, & more with little kids in tow!

Hi! I’m Nicole, a mom of two, a Disney Vacation Club member, and a lifelong fan of all things Orlando theme parks and cruising. My husband Justin is my behind‑the‑scenes partner and the person who supports me in making all of our adventures a little more magical. This blog is filled with stories from our real experiences traveling with our toddlers, honest advice, resort reviews, budget tips and more. Our hope is to take the guesswork out of traveling with small children for other busy parents.

About Us

We got married in January of 2020 in the beautiful Florida Keys. We have always loved to travel and when we were planning our wedding, an escape to a beautiful destination with all of our friends and family around us was a no brainer. We planned our wedding for just under a year and tied the knot on a quiet, secluded beach at the stunning Baker’s Cay Resort in Key Largo, Florida. Since our destination wedding, we have always prioritized making memories in new places together.

Family of Four

We spent years traveling as a couple, but everything changed in the best way when we became parents and started bringing our kids along. Shortly after we got married, we welcomed our daughter and fell completely in love with her and with our new roles as parents. Just under 2 years later, her little brother joined us and we became a family of four. Our kids are now 3 and 1 and have traveled all over the place. Watching them experience the parks, the ships, and the world with fresh eyes has become one of our greatest joys. Some of our favorite family memories were made on these trips, and we can’t wait to make more in the years to come. We recently joined the Disney Vacation Club and look forward to years of Disney vacations together as a family.

Looking Ahead

This blog and our YouTube channel were officially brought to life in January of 2026. We have big plans for this space, including tons of free resources for parents who are planning trips with kids. I wholeheartedly believe that every parent should be able to plan experiences and make magical memories with their kids without having to spend a dime. It is my commitment that all of the resources, planning guides, advice and tips we share here will be completely free. Our only request is that in exchange you subscribe to the blog, subscribe to our YouTube channel and leave us some love so that we can keep growing this community. You can check out all of our latest adventures here, or watch our very first YouTube vlog below!
