{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: Family Favorites

This week’s theme at Focused on the Magic is Family Favorites. I have to say that seeing my baby-belly shots off and on at WDW over the past three and a half years have been some of my favorite memories to look back on. PicMonkey Collage

I love my babies!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: August

This week’s theme at Focused on the Magic is August Calendar Shot. In August, we are always just a month away from our fall trip to WDW, so this is what August means to us…a dwindling countdown chain, finalizing itineraries, packing, and countdown parties!PicMonkey CollageAugust is a gateway to September, and September is when the Elrods Go Disney!!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: The Disney Days of Summer

This week’s theme at Focused on the Magic is The Disney Days of Summer. Summer in WDW is hot. Summer in WDW is crowded. Summer in WDW? The official Elrod WDW Tip: unless you know how to do Disney…avoid it like the plague. {Although, we will admit, any day in Disney is better than a day at home.}

I love this picture of my miserable and sweaty sister on the steps outside of Splash Mountain’s entrance. Don’t let this be you this summer! Get to the parks at rope drop, hit popular rides first, utilize your FASTPASSES wisely, and when the crowds pick up, head back to your resort for some pool time and a “fancy drink”. And when all else fails, beat the heat in a shaded seat with a frozen Mickey treat!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: Resorts and Relaxation

This week’s theme over at Focused on the Magic is Resorts & Relaxation. [Big sigh] This is my favorite one yet! My oh my, how we love to just kick it at the resorts. Definitely one of the perks of staying in a nicer resort is the freedom to feel like you don’t have to “go, go, go” all of the time. And personally, I believe that people haven’t experienced Disney the right way until they have stopped to take advantage of the plethora of things WDW has to offer outside of the parks. From the poolside bingo and trivia games at the value resorts to the surrey and bike rentals at the deluxe resorts, they all have something fun to offer on your lazy days at the Happiest Place on Earth.DSCF0945 190161_197037676984850_4542823_nDSCF1133 195915_197037830318168_1776177_nIMG_1616Don’t forget to hop along to other Wordless Wednesday posts, leaving love and pixie dust behind you!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: Wild Side

This week’s theme at Focused on the Magic is Disney Parks Wild Side. I thought I’d take a different approach than posting our safari pictures from DAK.329_41525000629_611_n

Remember this photo op that used to hang out by the old Dumbo ride? Fun memories.
