Kid Correspondents

Ben – Our resident teen gives the skinny on games, travel gear, and attractions suitable for this hard to please age group. Don’t let his age fool you, he’s really a 45 year old man in a teen body. He’s into electronic gadgets, mini-golf, and fine dining.

Lauren – Our tween fashion queen is well versed in facts of every celebrity known to mankind. Her first official press trip to Walt Disney World landed her an interview with former American Idol finalist Jason Castro. She isn’t impressed easily and takes her job as a kid correspondent serious, taking notes in her journal for future reviews so that the readers of TravelingMamas.com will plan the best vacations for their families. Check out her Florida Key’s review of Cheeca Lodge.
