Launch Time!
Skippers Log Blog
Kicking off the Skippers Log Blog, I thought it right to really give an introduction to what this blog is going to be about. If an individual read the name and thought of this being a Jungle cruise-themed Disney travel blog, you are correct, kind of, maybe, or maybe just sometimes... The real thought here is to just go along for the ride and see what will help you all better plan, give some inspiration and have a fantastic day at the parks while on vacation or after a long day of work.

Having spent what many would consider a crazy amount of time at Disney parks, there is always one thing I continually find myself doing, navigating the group (or just myself) through the jungle that can be a Disney parks day/week. There are always things to learn and tips for the next trip. If only we had the magical compass at the parks that could optimize all the time while enjoying every bit of the experience (Disney Genie, maybe...)! Until then, that strategy is just to keep going, learning, and enjoying the time.
Where to start planning a Disney vacation can be a challenge and some people don't realize the time commitment to planning and navigating to make the vacation a dream. To be honest, crash courses and winging it during a Disney vacation can lead to frustration and disappointment.
We will also be taking to the parks frequently to update you all on the latest news, discoveries, and inspiring original pictures and videos captured at Walt Disney World around the Disney Parks and Resorts so follow us on Instagram and Pinterest!
Finding the best route through the park pre and post-fireworks, what rides to hit early, which rides to standby, where to eat, when to eat, what to eat, and how to simply enjoy the day by doing some planning ahead is an important part of a Walt Disney World vacation. There are many things to consider when planning, and yes I believe there can also be over-planning and having too rigid of a schedule to simply not enjoy the moments because time may not allow it. The mission of the blog is to help you all find that balance.
The focus of Skipper's Log Blog is going to be on strategies and tips for dreaming, planning, navigating, and enjoying the best Disney parks vacation. I know that is a lot to be a main focus and we will assuredly come up short, but everyone has to start somewhere and, if sharing our experiences is that way, we are grateful to do it. Navigating a Disney vacation or even just a day in the park can be overwhelming, but I am a firm believer that preparation will make the day more enjoyable.
Maximizing the time in the parks has always been intriguing to me because beyond the magic, for those visiting the parks on vacation, time is a precious commodity that we can waste, but not something we can ever return or get back. This is why I landed on Skippers Log (also because Jungle Cruise is one of my favorite classic Disney ride lists!)
Being still an amateur at blog posting, please bear with me as I find my stride and I hope that anyone who reads this blog finds some advantages or just enjoys seeing the updates around Disney parks! One could say I am taking a crash course and will be winging it from here.
