5 Photos to Get at Magic Kingdom

Where ever you look in Magic Kingdom people are taking pictures. For some of us not-so-great photographer types that can be a little intimidating. I tend to feel a little inadequate snapping pictures on my iPhone when the person next to me is using a dslr (not that I dislike them I am just a little jealous that they have an amazing camera and I have a cell phone).

We have compiled what we think are the 5 photos that everyone should get at some point in their life at Magic Kingdom.

5 Reasons Why We Love the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts

I will go ahead and say this now, the Yacht Club and Beach Club are my favorite resorts at Disney. I love everything about them from the theming to the food and of course Stormalong Bay!

Here are my top 5 reasons why I love staying at the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts:

Disney Vacation Club

The Disney Vacation Club is a great way to own a piece of Disney and get to stay at some incredible resorts. DVC is Disney's version of a vacation ownership program where members buy in at a certain number of points and then have the flexibility to travel where and when they want.

While most people are probably already familiar with DVC there are probably at least few that aren't (don't worry I didn't know a whole lot either.) So I set out to learn a little more about the DVC and share it with you all!

Owner's Locker

Do you ever tire of having to bring the same bag of essentials to Disney World every year? What if there was a way to not have to lug the things you use at Disney World home and back every time you visit?

Owner's Locker is an Orlando based company that provides just that. As an Owner's Locker member you can store your vacation gear in one of their signature purple lockers and have it delivered to your resort every time you visit.
