Heather is excited to report on her recent trip to Walt Disney World she took with her mom and her two kids, Vivian and Ethan. They had the pleasure of attending the very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year along with four full days of park fun. While things didn’t go exactly according to plan, they had a lot of magic along the way, proving that being able to pivot and go with the flow (as Crush likes to say) is probably the best Disney skill to have!
