Unlike Disneyland, there was a ton of new-ness to experience at DisneySea, with truly immersive worlds, lots of high-profile attractions, and lots and lots of fellow Disney fans. A beautiful hotel and a few old favorites like Soarin’ and Toy Story Mania underscored the great day.

Disneyland in Asia
We’re no strangers to Disney World, and hope to visit Disneyland CA one day, but we ventured to a new Disney output in Tokyo for a true adventure.

Valentine’s and School
Right before we headed out to Great Wolf Lodge, it was a big day at school – 100 days and Valentine’s Day. There were 5 math-themed games and enough Valentine’s treats to give Halloween a run for its money!
A 10th Trip to Great Wolf
After 10 trips in 12 years, we’ve become up close and personal with Great Wolf Williamsburg. We continue to hit our stride, enjoying the water park, the arcade and MagiQuest (and naps for mom and dad on occasion) in perfect balance!
