Giveaway: Sesame Place Has A Great Fall Line Up!
 Count’s Halloween Spooktacular! 
Win A Family 4 Pack of Passes Here and
Join In On The Fun!
Going to Sesame Place is always an enjoyable experience for our family! It’s sad to think that my youngest child is already six years old. I really don’t want the Sesame Street years to end, but it seems, as I have seen two times before there is really no way of stopping time. So, with saying that, our family has been enjoying seeing the world through Emily’s eyes before they soon join us in the teen world.
Recently our family had the pleasure of visiting Sesame Place. Even though it was past Labor Day we caught a gorgeous day and were able to enjoy the water. When we visit next time, I’m sure we will not be bringing our swimsuits along. We are looking forward to all the Fall events taking place during the next month at Sesame Place. It’s incredible to think we can travel less than two hours from NYC and have so much family fun! If you have the chance to visit Sesame Place during the Halloween Spooktacular, do not miss it!

Disney ihome And Our #Roadtrip2fun A Perfect Combo!

by Leave a Comment

Disney ihome On The Road 
And At Home Perfect Together

A few weeks ago our family of five embarked on a fantastic Road Trip from New Jersey to Florida.
It was an amazing trip to plan and we had so many things to do on our list that at times it felt a little bit overwhelming. But, I am happy to report that our sixteen day #RoadTrip2fun actually ended up being an eighteen day trip and was packed with family memories that will carry on for years to come.
Now, let’s back up to before we actually left on our journey down Route 95 South. We knew that packing up five of us into the van and getting on the road would not exactly be a picnic on the way down or back so it did require some thinking to try to keep everyone in the those back seats happy and comfortable. Since my kids vary in ages there is really nothing on the radio, cds or itunes that they actually agree on listening to as a family. The thought of arguing over music choices for 23 hours in the car sent a chill down my spine. 
It was then I realized that everyone needed their own choices, devices, etc. Disney ihome was kind enough
to present us with three different ways to keep everyone content! What a magical dream come true!
Although we all just loved the looked of the Disney ihome products that arrived, cuteness means nothing if they do not live up in quality. Well, EIGHTEEN days of the road trip as my witness, these were a miracle.
My daughter immediately fell in love with the Minnie Mouse Bow-Tastic headphones, complete with Minnie Bow. Emily just thought she was “It” wearing them. I loved them because they have a volume control on them. Perfect for moms and dads who really don’t want their children pumping up the volume! The headphones were also comfortable. These are a must for your little one! They really lived up and were used on the road and also in the hotels, not to mention just how adorable they are. Honestly, I thought that they would be stored in the car for when we were on the road, but my daughter grabbed them and threw them into her bag for inside use, too! They are a definite thumbs up from both Emily and Mommy, too!
My middle son took total control of the Where’s My Water noise isolating earphones. Okay, so I HAD to laugh at this choice! By the time we hit ten hours in the van I was about to pull them off of him and use them for myself! Truth be told, I did test them out. They are great for MOMS! Noise isolating anything is perfect for me. I put them in my ears, closed my eyes and listened to some awesome music. It was a glorious FIVE minutes! Then my son wanted them back! Yes, I thought it was rude, too! Well, at least he made total use of them both in the van and at night in the room. He has never had a pair of noise isolating anything before, so he was in awe of the way he could just sit there in the middle of all of us and play his favorite music with no outside noise interference. When the middle child is happy, everyone is happy! Another winning product!
My oldest son took custody of the Kermit Water Resistant Stereo. Well, who did not see that coming?
He has always been a Muppets fan. I was not surprised at all. Actually, I was hoping one of the kids would not like their ihome product so that I could grab it for myself. But that did not happen. The Kermit Stereo is just amazing. Anything water resistant is a YES for me! I did have the chance to test this one out when my son was asleep. My ipod loved being inside that Kermit Stereo! It fit perfectly inside and the sound quality was wonderful. It was perfect in the car, with the use of earphones, on our balcony, in the room and by the pool! It gave us hours and hours of  music fun no matter where we were on the trip.
Hands down after trying out three of the Disney ihome products, I can’t imagine not purchasing our next product from them. They were a definite thumbs up from our entire family, roadtrip or home.
They are easy to use, can take a lot of movement without any kind of wire splitting and the sound quality is excellent! It was a pleasure to use them during our road trip and they are still in use now!
You can check out all of the Disney ihome products here.

Giveaway: Disney Infinity Gaming With Magic! @DisneyInfinity #DisneyInfinity #Gaming

by 22 Comments

Giveaway: Disney Infinity Lives Up!

    Just when our family thought that gaming could not get any better, along came Disney Infinity! Thank you Disney for making our family fun a little bit better. From the minute we tried Disney Infinity it was a huge hit in our house!  Disney’s latest video game venture, Disney Infinity, certainly lives up to its name. The game, designed to mimic and expand upon the imagination and creativity kids exhibit when playing with toys, offers up countless hours of fun for the whole family, giving kids of all ages the opportunity to mix and match their favorite Disney characters and environments in ways unlike ever before!

 With over 15 characters and 5 worlds available now (And more on the way!) there’s plenty to explore, and Disney Infinity gives you the ability to delve as far into those worlds as you want, as well as creating some of your own. The gameplay is quite simple, and divided into two interconnected sections: the story worlds, and the Toy Box. In the worlds (based on such hits as The Incredibles, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Monsters University), you take on story-based missions and challenges from characters in the films, working to collect stars that mark your progress, as well as buildings and other items to use in the Toy Box. When you enter the Toy Box, accessible as any and all playable characters in the game, you have the freedom to build and play as you please, using the pieces that you’ve acquired through your story mode play and from Power Discs (one of which is included in the starter pack, while others can be found in affordable packs of two at most retailers carrying Infinity products.) Players can not only create and play in their own levels, but also download worlds created by fellow players and by the Disney Infinity developers. Talk about cooperative play!

  Speaking of cooperation, the game allows two players to take part in the magic side by side in both story mode and Toy Box mode, which has definitely made it a hit in our house– everybody has given the game a shot at one point or another and had an excellent time playing it together! My boys love the Incredibles and Lone Ranger sets, and my 6 year-old daughter always wants to play the Monsters University section, and can’t stop talking about the Tangled and Frozen characters that are on the way. Disney Infinity is a great game for all of us as it is, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store next!
GIVEAWAY ALERT!
The magical folks at Disney Infinity are giving one lucky 3decades3kids reader a chance to have a Disney Infinity Starter Kit of their own system choice! You win, you choose!
Winner will be chosen on September 25, 2013 at noon and contacted by email.
