We took a road trip to Florida last month to join Jeremy’s family on their family vacation. We visited the Disney parks, but also had lots of days off in between to spend with family. The girls have a lot of cousins on this side of our family. It was our first 10 hour road trip with two little kids!

Road Trip Suggestions (for the car): We got these back of seat organizers (this is a two pack) and it was a HUGE success in helping the kids have access to their iPads, headphones, snacks and water on our long drives. We also got these neck fans, which were very helpful for summer in a theme park.
We let Marigold bring her Elsa dress for the Frozen ride in Epcot and she didn’t take it off for the rest of the day- haha.
After the trip I had a lot of questions about whether Disney “felt safe” and “was worth it” right now. My honest answer is- not really. At the time we went guests were only required on transportation in and out of the park. Also it’s important to know that a lot of things are closed due to Covid- like character meetings. I definitely would not recommend right now as your “main” Disney experience. But since we were going with Jeremy’s family we considered it a bonus experience for our girls that we were going to Disney- but really we were there to see family. I have heard that this month the rules changed again due to Covid spikes- so just keep that in mind and get up to date information. And of course, California’s Disney park has completely different protocol.
That said, since we hadn’t done a trip in so long and since our kids are great ages we had our BEST Disney trip ever. I also think that us keeping our expectations extremely low made our experience even better.
The best double travel stroller ever (and it’s cleared to take into Disney parks since a lot of double strollers are too large). It’s been to China and back twice, since we took it and some of our friends borrowed it for their trip too. Their single travel stroller is our other favorite.
Nova is six and she doesn’t normally use a stroller anymore, but for theme parks it is 100% worth it and necessary in my opinion.
Linking the neck fans again.
I’m really grateful we had a chance to go this summer (before the Delta spikes) and I will definitely make the kids a photo book to remember it by. We decided to chill for the fall season and just focus on family and getting into the groove of Kindergarten for Nova.
I have soooo many updates to post here. I took a long break and decided to post a lot more this coming season. Be back soon with back-to-school shopping!
