										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is no surprise to me that 4 out of 5 of my top travel posts were Disney posts. I write about Disney travel most. I am happy that a cruise post made it into the top 5 because we love to cruise and I really want to help more families discover the fun and affordability of cruising.</p>

<h2>Top 5 Travel Posts of 2015</h2>
<h3>#5 How to Choose the Best Cruise Line for You</h3>
<p>While cruising is a wonderful way to vacation, there are some important decisions that go into planning your cruise. A very important decision is which cruise line is best for you. So far, I have 6 Carnival Cruises under my belt. I am hoping to try a cruise an a different cruise line in 2016, we will see if our finances include a cruise for my husband&#8217;s 50th birthday! Different types of people fit better with different cruise lines because each line has a different focus. I hope you will think about booking a cruise with me in 2016 and you can start you planning by reading <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/08/how-to-choose-cruise-line/">How to Choose the Best Cruise Line for You</a></strong>.</p>

<h3>#4 Rumors are Swirling about Disney&#8217;s Hollywood Studios</h3>
<p>Back in July, before the D23 Convention, I wrote <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/07/rumors-dhs/">Rumors are Swirling about Disney&#8217;s Hollywood Studios</a></strong>. At the time, all we had to go on were the rumors found in the Disney online community. In August, at D23 some of the rumors were confirmed and others were not mentioned. I wrote about that in <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/08/disney-parks-d23/">Disney Parks News from D23</a></strong>. If you are planning a trip to Disney&#8217;s Hollywood Studios in 2016 you will find important information in these two posts.</p>

<h3>#3 Strollers at Disney World Yay or Nay?</h3>
<p>In February I finally wrote an opinion piece on <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/02/strollers-disney-world/">strollers at Walt Disney World</a></strong>. I knew it would be a controversial post but it was something I had to get off my chest. I recently mentioned it in a Disney Fan Facebook group and I was virtually tarred and feathered for my opinion. If you haven&#8217;t read the post, I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts on the matter. You don&#8217;t have to agree with me but I will delete unkind comments.</p>

<h3>#2Top 10 Must-Dos for your First Trip to Disney&#8217;s Animal Kingdom</h3>
<p>Earlier this year I wrote a series of 4 Top 10 Must-Dos, one for each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Since <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/05/top-10-must-dos-disneys-animal-kingdom/">Animal Kingdom</a></strong> is undergoing some changes, this post did well in the search engines from people planning vacations to the park.</p>
<p><a href="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-49949"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-49949" src="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed.jpg" alt="Top 10 Must-Dos at Animal Kingdom" width="675" height="980" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed.jpg 675w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed-276x400.jpg 276w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed-185x269.jpg 185w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Top-10-Must-Dos-at-Animal-Kingdom-compressed-560x813.jpg 560w" sizes="(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px" /></a></p>
<h3>#1 Top 10 Must-Dos for your First Trip to Epcot</h3>
<p>Thirty plus years after its opening, a lot of families still shy away from visiting Epcot with kids. For years Epcot was my boys&#8217; favorite park to visit because there is so much to see and do. We would spend hours just in Innoventions. That is one reason I wrote about the <strong><a href="http://themommaven.com/2015/03/10-must-dos-epcot/">Top 10 Must-Dos</a></strong> because first time visitors aren&#8217;t aware of all there is to see and do at Epcot.</p>
