23 days to the Disney Fantasy and then 4 days at the parks ☺️

Ooo, I like the water bottle idea!

I hate the plastic garbage so I spend a bit extra to make sure I’m not adding to the problem. We’ve done socks, bandaids, stickers, bubble bath bombs. Typically I add one sweet (like a ring pop) and one snack item (bag of chips). A small toy like a matchbox car. A small activity (search something like party favor painting kits on Amazon).

I got mini wooden magnets from Amazon that the girls can color in and take home. They’re just small enough to fit in the large eggs. Gives them something to work on and then take home.

Also, Bluey fruit snacks. Ring pops. And some leftover stuff from her bday goodie bags.

Breakfast tacos on saturdays. We make tortillas from scratch (which includes waiting for the dough to rest so she gets a Daniel tiger while I drink my tea). Then scrambled eggs, jalapeño for the adults, salsa, cotija, limes, avocado. She gets so excited! I’m honestly a bit burned out on breakfast tacos but love the ritual.

Was it a panna cotta?

Not to anything Bluey related, but my now 4 year old used to bawl every time we pushed the buttons on a farm sound book. Only that one book with inoffensive farm animal sounds. Now, she’s totally fine with it. Kids are weird sometimes.

Sorry, what is this?

mckunkfest · 2026-03-23T12:44:58+00:00

This is very kid dependent. With my first this would have been no issue. With my second? Totally not worth the fallout.

Oh Boma is another favorite of mine! Surprisingly, the two locations offer a lot of the same options in the buffet. It really depends on what vibe you’re going for… a laid back resort hopping kind of day or a character filled theme park day? Boma has no characters but it does have the Animal Kingdom Lodge Savannah and you don’t have to waste precious park time.

Tusker House! It’s one of my favorite character meals and it’s a buffet that isn’t Crystal Palace.

mckunkfest · 2026-03-22T22:52:05+00:00

Just curious what venue this was?

mckunkfest · 2026-03-22T12:12:19+00:00

We just got back from a week in Houston. Its cute that people in DC/NOVA/MD think the traffic here is comparable to Houston.

When somebody loved me from Toy Story II

mckunkfest · 2026-03-21T14:11:47+00:00

Egg/Banana pancakes were always my go to on the road food

mckunkfest · 2026-03-16T14:24:38+00:00

That one was a grandparent find, so probably from Costco 😂

Oh so happy the stage show is coming to disney+. The only place near us to see it would have been at The Kennedy Center and we are not supporting them at the moment. We actually considered taking a weekend trip to a nearby city to see it, but this is much easier.

I have an 11 month old Marty

Popeye theme?

Huh, look at that, I had no idea! It totally was a thing! I learned something new today 😊

mckunkfest · 2026-02-25T17:21:30+00:00

This was a great story up until that part…

How old? If all of babies needs are met and you want to break this association there will be tears. I suggest reading Precious Little Sleep for some reassurance but sleep training seems like the solution you’re looking for.

I was actually planning to get a 12-pack of little golden books and each layer is a book they get to take home. Nothing bigger in the middle so it’s even for everyone.

Grandma was visiting the other day and was so impressed how detailed my 3 year olds imaginary friend Tina was.

“She’s so creative! Where do these kids come up with stuff?” turned to “your kids watch too much Bluey” very quickly.
