Is Disney truly the happiest place on Earth? or the most Expensive? Maybe a bit of both. We called Orlando, Florida home for a week while we vacationed at Disney World… and I can confirm that the Cinderella Castle is as magical as it gets.

In the end, I reflect on if I think the money spent was worth it or if I regret it.
