25 Things to Do in Toronto, Canada

I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada (I lived just a bit outside the city of Toronto). For this reason, I might be a bit biased when I say I think it is one of the best cities in the world! Did you know Toronto is the largest city in Canada? It has a…

The level of service is absolutely amazing! In the first clip, Josh is holding our baby while our server cuts his steak so we can BOTH enjoy a hot meal (a rare win for parents of babies, right?). Fast forward a year, and they’re cutting up her food, too.

Disney Cruise Line is more than just character hugs and themed dinners. The crew goes above and beyond to make sure every family member is taken care of, including the parents! 🤩

When you’re planning a cruise with young kids, it’s easy to focus on the logistics: packing essentials, nap schedules, dining times… but the magic is often in the unexpected moments like this. The kind of service that makes travel feel like a vacation again.

We took our daughter with us to Epic Universe during the previews and had the BEST time, even though she couldn’t do very many of the rides. This park has so much more to offer than just attractions and we were surprised by how toddler friendly it actually is. From insanely immersive spaces with so much to explore to amazing characters and shows (not to mention an incredible children’s play area), it turned into one of our favorite theme park days yet! 🎠

Universal Orlando has some amazing afforable hotel options, and these suites are perfect for families! 🙌 Having a separate room for naps was such a gamechanger - it’s so nice not to be hanging out in the dark while she’s asleep 🤣

We stayed at Dockside in a 2-bedroom suite during our travel agent FAM trip to preview the NEW Epic Universe park! Thank you @universalorlando and @wishuponastarwithus for this awesome opportunity! #Hosted

Flying with a baby? ✈️ Here are some of our to Flying with a baby? ✈️ Here are some of our top tips after dozens of flights with our little one! 👶

☑️ Children under 2 can travel as a lap child for free for domestic flights (for international, you’ll just need to pay the taxes)
☑️ Baby items like strollers and car seats can be checked for FREE. Be sure to check the policy for your airline ahead of time.
☑️ We recommend gate checking your stroller so you can use it in the airport. Gate checking your car seat also gives you the opportunity to ask about bringing it onboard (see next tip)
☑️ If the flight isn’t full, you can ask if there is space to bring your car seat onboard so your baby can have their own seat. No guarantees, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
☑️ Bring sanitizing wipes to clean your seat and area. Planes are full of germs, and babies touch everything (and then their mouths) 
☑️ Fresh diaper right before boarding to minimize the chance of having to do diaper changes onboard the plane (the changing table is small and the bathrooms are gross)
☑️ PACK 👏 EXTRA 👏 CLOTHES 👏 At least 2 extra sets for the baby, and one for you too!
☑️ Nursing or feeding (or giving a pacifier) during takeoff and landing will help their ears adjust
☑️ If bringing liquids like formula or breastmilk through security, it can be larger than the usual allowable size

❕AND REMEMBER
if your baby cries, it’s OKAY! Babies cry and they have as much right to be on the plane as everybody else. Just do your best to calm them down and don’t worry about anyone else!

Spend the day at Universal Studios with us! 🌎 Spend the day at Universal Studios with us! 🌎

Come along on the first day of our Universal Orlando trip. It’s been a few years since we’ve been here, and we’re so excited to experience it again with a little one! 👶

🚌 Since we’re staying at an on-site hotel (Dockside) we took the complimentary shuttle to CityWalk. You go through security and walk through CityWalk to get to both Universal Studios park and Islands of Adventure park.

🎡 There are only a few rides that CJ can do, since a lot here have height requirements. Today we did Villain-Con Minion Blast and Kang and Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl! CJ also loved watching all the big roller coasters to by.

☁️ We spent most of our time in the DreamWorks area, which is so awesome for kids. We explored Shrek’s Swamp and played on Poppy’s Playground. We even got to learn some Kung Fu moves with Po! 🐼 

🤩 We also met lots of characters - Scooby and Shaggy, Poppy the Troll and Shrek! 

🎆 Finished off the night with the CineSational fireworks show. Great way to end our first day!

We took our toddler to Epic Universe and had so mu We took our toddler to Epic Universe and had so much fun! Here were her top favorite things to do in this brand-new theme park✨

4. Yoshi’s Adventure in Super Nintendo World! 🍄
This one has a height requirement of 34”, but it’s slow-moving and great for little ones. We do wish it had been designed for all ages (no height requirement at all)! Honestly, this probably would’ve ranked higher if we could’ve all ridden in the same Yoshi. Each vehicle only fits two people, so she was a bit upset that Josh was in a different one 😅 But overall, it’s super cute!

3. The Untrainable Dragon Show in Isle of Berk 🐉
This show was incredible, the effects were amazing! She was totally in awe of the dragons 🤩 This show is a definite must-do for all ages!

2. Constellation Carousel in Celestial Park 🎠
Easily the best carousel we’ve ever been on! It moves in unique patterns (not just a simple circle) and goes to the beat of the music. There are some great seat options for little ones, including larger ones where all three of us could sit together. CJ loved this so much, we rode it three times! ✨

1. Viking Training Camp in Isle of Berk 💪
This interactive play area, themed after How to Train Your Dragon, was a HUGE hit with our little one! She LOVED this area and could’ve spent hours here. If you’re visiting with a toddler, make sure to plan for lots of time here - older kids will love it too! 🛝

While there are many attractions with a height requirement that she couldn’t ride (we used Child Swap for those), she still had an amazing day—and so did we!

Note: There were two attractions we skipped. We missed La Cirque Arcanus because CJ had to use the bathroom right before it started, and we had to leave the theater. And we didn’t ride Fyre Drill because she does NOT like getting sprayed, so that one’s on the list for when she’s older!

Will you be visiting Epic Universe with kids? 🎢🎠✨
