As mentioned in my Tokyo recap, I will be going through each day of the trip sharing where we went, what we ate and where we stayed! Our third location was Lake Kawaguchiko and Fujikawaguchiko. We wanted to see Mt. Fuji but didn't feel the need to get super close or climb any portion of it this trip. You can only hike when the trails are open in the Summer anyway. After some research we decided t

Another month of 2025 has come and gone with no clothes shopping. The past couple years it has gotten a lot easier for me to not shop, I have plenty in my closet for anything I might need so there's no real reason to shop. I do still window shop and add things to my cart and always talk myself out of it. If something is really special (or a great deal) I'm sure I'll break my streak, but going str

Time for destination two on our Japan trip, Tokyo Disney Resort! Tokyo Disney is known by many as one of the best Disney parks in the world and after having finally been there myself, I agree! (I have been to 4 of the 6 parks around the world.) We spent 3 days (plus an evening) and 3 nights at the resort so we could pack as much in as possible.

Tokyo was our home base on the first half of the trip so instead of having full days there we ended up with half and three quarter days to explore. In total we had a little over 3 days. I think for these posts I'm going to go day by day and recap where we went, where we ate and where we stayed. The numbers will look a little funny

Before diving into the details of our Japan trip I wanted to share a quicker rundown—what we did, where we stayed, and how it all came together. I'll post recaps for each city soon and update this with links when they’re live. This isn’t a "how-to" guide—just a look at how we planned and experienced everything with a few tips thrown in. Let me know if you have any questions on how to plan your o

  Planning a Disney vacation in the U.S. can be a challenge, but planning a trip to Tokyo Disney takes things to a whole new level. There are even more details to consider, and the parks operate differently from their American counterparts. For starters, Tokyo Disney isn't technically owned by Disney. It's actually managed by the Oriental Land Company, which licenses Disney characters a
