From the Bayou to Disney: Our Disney Life as a Nerdy Louisiana Family

From the Bayou to Disney: Our Disney Life as a Nerdy Louisiana Family

From Walt Disney World trips to everyday DVC reflections, we share how Disney fits into our family’s life — not just our vacations.

We’re a Louisiana family of two teachers and one imaginative 7‑year‑old exploring Disney through the lens of fandom, accessibility, and curiosity. Here you’ll find honest experiences from the parks and resorts, insights into Disney Vacation Club life, festival highlights, and practical tips that help keep the magic real (even when the crowds aren’t).

This is our Disney life — the big moments, the small details, and the stories that keep us believing.
