Disney Dream

We travelled on Disney’s ‘Dream’ cruise ship with our 8-year-old Kidsetter departing from Disney Cruise Port Canaveral in Florida, USA over Christmas. We have been fortunate enough to travel on many cruise lines with our Kidsetter and travelling on a Disney Cruise was a Dream come true (pardon the pun !)  After immediately boarding the […]

Magic Kingdom !

We travelled to Disney World in Florida with our 8-year-old Kidsetter for a once in a lifetime experience.  We stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside within the French Quarter to ensure we could maximise our time spent at the 4 Theme Parks. The grand lobby of the main building features tall white pillars, […]

Animal Kingdom !

We visited Animal Kingdom with our 8 year old Kidsetter.  Upon entering we were transported to Africa with the sound of drumming in the Marketplace.  We were instantly drawn to watch the vibrant tribal African dancing.  It was enthralling. Animal Kingdom is separated into 6 area named Oasis, Discovery Island, Pandora – The World of […]

Hollywood Studios !

Visiting Hollywood Studios at Disney World in Florida with our 8-year-old Kidsetter was one of the best days of our life.  Apologies up front if you are not a Star Wars fan, this is mostly about all things Star Wars. We visited the Park twice the first time was for an evening yuletide celebration called […]

It wasn’t long before our Kidsetter had made new friends and was learning […]

Queen Elizabeth

We travelled on Cunard’s ‘Queen Elizabeth’ cruise ship with our 7-year-old Kidsetter on route from Fremantle to Melbourne. After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax !  We have travelled on various cruise lines and QE was distinctively elegant in every way.  As we […]

Medieval Mystique

We travelled with our 7-year-old Kidsetter to Ballarat countryside in Victoria to visit the infamous ‘Kryal Castle’.  Prior to our arrival our Kidsetter had been reading a fun book called ‘Bumblefest’ about Knight’s jousting tournaments, this aided his excitement of visiting a castle where Knights would be performing actual jousting tournaments.  We meet some friends […]

Cruise Capers !

I have to admit that I was anti cruises. I’m not great at resort stay-in-one-place style travelling so the thought of being stuck on a boat at sea – how boring ! If I was going to be bored, imagine entertaining a child on board a ship. No thanks. Not to mention, is it even […]
