5 Baby & Toddler Friendly Rides At Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
My family and I visited Walt Disney World last month for the third time. We’ve been visiting every year for the past three years, so its been interesting to watch the kids react to and experience the park differently.
After talking to countless travelers and moms who have taken the trip with their own kids, the general consensus is that you should wait until your child is old enough to remember the parks, recommending that 7-9 is the perfect age range to do so. Unfortunately when you have more than one child that isn’t quite feasible and as a traveling family, I don’t believe in waiting for anything. Yes, your baby won’t remember the parks in their own memory, but you will be the one capturing those moments and making memories for yourself, your husband and your own child. I have so many beautiful photos of my son at the park last year when he was just 16 months old and again this year at 20 months old. We have video clips, Instagram photos and have been using the new Story app non-stop to create and reproduce those memories.
The great thing about Walt Disney World Resort is that they have loads of rides that are suitable for all age ranges – yes even tots! Of course there are many rides in addition to the ones I’ve compiled here, but these 5 are our absolute favorite!

The Story of Duffy & Why He's Mickey Mouse's Favorite Bear
Did you know that Mickey Mouse’s teddy bear Duffy has a story all his own? While visiting Walt Disney World last month with our family, we had the chance to meet Duffy in person and learn how he became Mickey’s B.F.F.
I’m going to be completely honest here… I had no idea who Duffy was until just recently. I’ve heard his name a few times, but assumed he was a character from elsewhere. Let’s just say that our recent trip was very educational because now I am fully informed as to who this little bear is and the history behind him.
Before you click through for the story of Duffy, pray tell – is this the first time you’ve ever heard about Duffy Bear or am I the only one who was in the dark?
Disney Meets Hallmark ~ The Newest Baby Gifts To Put On Your Radar

The Hallmark Company has been working magic and touching the hearts of so many with their words for over 90 years so it really is quite fitting that they should partner with Disney Baby on this adorable collection.

The Most Popular Baby Names In The United States ~ Official List
It’s out! The U.S. Social Security Administration released their Most Popular Baby Names List last week and Jacob and Sophia rank #1 on the list for yet another year. Chloe and Daniel have dropped out of the top ten with Elizabeth and Liam replacing them. Elizabeth has made the list in the past however, this is the first time Liam has broken into the top 10.
Social Security began compiling their list of baby names back in 1997 and now offers lists of names for each and every year since 1880. It is currently America’s most popular source for baby names.
I am quite curious as to how many parents use this list as a guide to name their own children, or as one to steer clear from. When it comes to baby names, is unique best or does popularity rank rule?
