A fuss-free guide to Disney and vacation planning

Welcome!

Whether you’re here planning a vacation, trying to soak up a little Disney magic, or family and friends wondering what crazy project I’m up to next (Hi Mom!), I’m glad you’re here. I hope you find it helpful, fun, and overflowing with pixie dust. 

I am not a vacation planner or a travel agent. I’m just a mom who loves Disney and all other kinds of travel, and who’s had pretty good success finding ways to travel with kids and to get what we want out of the complicated Disney planning experience.

I’m also an over-researcher. A few years ago Ethan and I traveled to Boston and I had spent so much time looking at maps before we went that I was able to recognize landmarks and walk right up to a hidden back-alley bookstore we wanted to visit. This blog is as much a place for me to archive all of my travel research as it is a resource for my readers. But I hope it can be both.

My name is Amber. I’m a costumer, theatre history nerd, student of theology, and a lover of Disney parks. My husband, Ethan, is an estate planning attorney, a foodie, and a fan of all things Star Wars. He’s my tech support and may write his own articles for this blog. We travel with our middle and high school age children (who will be referred to here as J,A, and K), or often with just the two of us. Our goal is always to travel as fuss free and un-flashy as possible, hence the name “No Capes!”

Thanks for joining us on our journeys!
