Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil & Disney

I went into 2023 with a huge appetite for travel but very few plans to do so. Little did I know London was on the horizon, and while my annual anniversary trip was much tamer than usual in humble Huntsville AL, I was so glad to do a solo Disney World trip (again), take my girls on the road for the first time to Louisiana, and have lots of Tennessee day trips in between. Enjoy this travel journal of 379 (!!!) places, including: 🖼️ 64 Museums, Gardens, and Attractions ☕️ 53 Coffee Shops 🍽️ 82 Restaurants, Bakeries, Bars, and Food Trucks 🛏️ 29 Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and Airbnbs ✨ and a whole bunch more! Scroll to the bottom for my favorites of the year!

From stays to rides, activities to food, this guide has everything you need to crush your Disney World Vacation. We've done 500+ hours of research on how to do Disney World, no matter the type of crew: families with small children, thrill seekers, couples that want a sliver of childhood nostalgia, foodies, late sleepers, early risers, etc. We've tested these theories/suggestions out first-hand and have come up with the best stays, rides, restaurants, and additional activities that will help you have the best time in Orlando, in and out of the Disney parks. We also left plenty of secret tips and tricks to make the most of your time in the Most Magical Place on Earth (efficiency is key, and you'll find tons of ideas below to save you loads of time and money)! PSA: This guide is meant to be viewed in List View (as opposed to Map Vew) and I provided a Table of Contents to allow for easy browsing to areas of interest (I.e. depending on if you’re looking for stays, rides, shows, food, activities, etc.).
