Baby Bricker’s first visit to Walt Disney World was one of our best ever vacations, and this trip report continues the first installment of ‘What Went Right’ during that family trip. This features photos & thoughts from Port Orleans Riverside, as well as our approach to ADRs, fireworks, dark rides, and photography. Plus, how it
We just returned from one of the best Walt Disney World vacations ever, and the first one of the next chapter of our lives. It was immensely satisfying doing WDW as newly-minted parents, incredibly joyous to see our daughter react to everything, and also a massive learning experience. That last part is probably what’s most
We’re already starting to plan ahead for Megatron by building her bucket list for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond. Making some conservative assumptions about quality of life in the future, she should have roughly 347 years to accomplish all of this (part with her mind uploaded to a robot, naturally). Given that, we’re going
I always wake up early on Christmas. As a small child, this was probably pretty unremarkable. I was excited to see what new LEGO sets or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys Santa had brought. As I got a little older, I’d continue the tradition, reading R.L. Stine’s “Silent Night” books and my favorite Calvin and
Megatron made her first visit to Disney! This report shares a look at Baby Bricker’s day at Disneyland, with family photos from our Christmas-time experience and thoughts on what it was like seeing the parks through the eyes of a two-month old infant. Fair warning: this is not going to be an “exciting” step-by-step ride

Alas, the joys of being a new parent! As we sit down for a traditional Sunday-after-Thanksgiving dinner of Wood Fired Naples
It’s been almost 9 months since we first found out that we’re having a baby, and it was time for her to be born towards the beginning of this month. Apparently Megatron didn’t get the memo. In her defense, it does feel like this all happened so fast–and she wasn’t the only one who didn’t
I can’t believe it’s been over three months since we shared that we’re having a baby. Time flies when you’re having fun…or preparing for a seismic shift to your lives? Either way, we’re in the home stretch and some of you have been asking how things are going, wanting to see more photos, etc., so
It’s been almost two months since we shared our news that we’re having a baby. In the last few weeks, more and more people have been reaching out to ask how things are going with Sarah and Megatron, so we’re back with an update on the pregnancy to answer those questions, share new maternity photos,
Wow. We are absolutely astounded and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support that you all have expressed in response to our news that we’re having a baby. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect in response and were quite apprehensive about sharing our story. About one thousand of you have responded to the
We have something to share that’s very important to us, but wholly unrelated to updates about Walt Disney World or Disneyland vacation planning. Nevertheless, we wanted to post about it because it’s major life news for us, and this is largely a personal blog. Many of you have been with us since the beginning and
