We have all been forced into spending much more time in our homes by the Coronavirus crisis, as lockdown has been enforced upon much of the UK in an attempt to stem the virus’ spread.

Spending so much time under the same roof can put a strain on our relationships as well as our possessions, which are now being used much more than before.

Some areas of the home might be at risk of damage. Here we point out which ones to be wary of in the coming weeks.

Accidents happen!

Keeping active in these times is a huge challenge, but help is at hand in many forms. The ‘Body Coach’ Joe Wicks has become a sensation with his daily PE classes that have gotten families active together, while working out at home has spiked as people look to keep fit while also respecting the government’s instructions around social distancing.

If your home space is cramped, but you still want to keep fit, it could open up the possibility for accidents to occur – think knocking over a television, putting your foot through a laptop screen or dropping a phone during some exertions.

If you’re a renter, doing damage to your home could have big implications. Maybe before your next workout, it might be prudent to shop around for tenants contents insurance!

Strain on your services

You will be burning through electricity and gas like never before as we try to live our lives confined to our homes.

This may result in your bills going up, so be wary of using appliances too much. This could also result in wear and tear happening faster than usual. Think before you plug in yet another extension cord, do all these appliances need to be plugged in at once?

Don’t let things pile up

Small weekly jobs like tidying and cleaning your home now need doing much more regularly as you use the spaces in your house every day.

It might be grime accumulating in your bathroom, carpets collecting dust or mountains of plates forming in the kitchen.

Keep on top of things with a daily rota that is shared among all of the family and you will avoid potentially costly damage developing in your house, while keeping everyone’s living and now working space in a better state to promote sharper mental and physical wellbeing.

Keep screen time limited

Not only is it wise to keep a cap on you and your family’s screen time during lockdown in order to connect with each other on a personal level and improve mental health, but overusing items like laptops and TVs could lead to them wearing down faster.

If you’re computer often overheats, it may be working too much. Can YouTube videos be viewed through another device? Can work calls be done on your phone instead?

This is especially important for those who may need a computer for working at home. If it breaks, you could face even more serious consequences.

How Magic Moment Resort Became the Pioneer of a New Era: The First-Ever Dazzler Select by Wyndham

In Central Florida’s packed landscape of family hotels and theme park lodgings, a unique kind of property has emerged. Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club in Orlando is earning attention from traveling families for a simple reason. It delivers joy, warmth, and convenience at a smart value that keeps Disney dreams accessible rather than overwhelming.

By joining Wyndham, Magic Moment Resort unlocks the strength of a global powerhouse, gaining worldwide visibility, advanced technology, and access to Wyndham Rewards, the largest hotel loyalty program on the planet. This strategic move expands its reach, builds guest trust, and amplifies its impact, all while preserving the unique identity that sets it apart.

Just a short drive from the gates of Walt Disney World, the resort sits along the palm-framed stretch of West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. The location has long been known for its tourism bustle, yet Magic Moment has carved out a softer identity. It feels playful and colorful, but also intentional. It is designed by a family for other families, and that perspective shapes every experience on the property.

A Philosophy Rooted in Family Connection

Magic Moment Resort was built with a belief often forgotten in today’s tourism industry. Family vacations should feel uplifting instead of stressful, and affordability should not come at the expense of comfort or creativity.

Check-in feels more personal than transactional. Parents arrive with strollers, snacks, and tired children. The staff seems to understand this rhythm instinctively. The energy is warm, the pace is easy, and the tone is set long before anyone even enters the room.

Unlike competing hotels that charge a steep premium for proximity to the parks, Magic Moment focuses on smart value without compromise. Its pricing strategy is refreshingly straightforward. Families can stay five minutes from Disney without draining their travel budgets. For many guests, that difference helps shift resources from hotel costs to experiences. It means more character breakfasts, more souvenirs, and more freedom to enjoy the parks without financial tension following every decision.

Spaces Designed for Children and Considerate of Parents

Magic Moment is filled with color, but nothing feels overstimulating. Instead, the resort offers a sense of wonder scaled to a child’s imagination.

The themed family rooms are a highlight. Children step into rooms that feel lighthearted and whimsical, yet parents appreciate that they are also functional and comfortable. It is the atmosphere of a themed suite without the theme park price.

Its Kids Club and Teens Club reflect that same thoughtful balance. These spaces invite exploration and creativity for children and provide a nurturing level of supervision. Parents can enjoy an hour by the heated pool, relax in a shaded cabana, or simply take a quiet moment while knowing their children are safe and engaged.

The resort’s grounds encourage slow mornings and gentle afternoons.There’s a 30,000 sqf outdoor playground as well as peaceful corners for parents. Importantly, families are not asked to pay additional fees to enjoy them. Magic Moment’s amenities feel generous rather than transactional.

Unforgettable Days at the Parks

For families navigating a Disney vacation, convenience is often the true luxury. Magic Moment delivers this with a complimentary delicious hot breakfast that encourages everyone to sit and enjoy the start of the day rather than rush through it.

Transportation to the parks is included, which removes one of the most common stress points for visiting families. There is no parking lot maze and no long lines at the toll booths. Guests simply board the shuttle and begin their day with ease.

When the sun sets and everyone returns from a day of rides and parades, the resort becomes a place to unwind. Children head straight for the pool. Parents sip Starbucks coffee. The atmosphere is relaxed and bright, and the resort feels like an extension of the Disney experience rather than a pause from it.

A Value That Resonates with Families

What truly elevates Magic Moment is the balance it achieves between smart value and experience. The resort has cultivated a loyal following because guests feel they receive more than they pay for. More thoughtful design. More space for connection. More comfort without excess.

Affordability here does not signal minimalism. Instead, it allows families to breathe. It creates space for shared moments that are often overlooked in the rush of theme-park vacations. Children play freely. Parents unwind without guilt. Families spend more time together and less time navigating logistics.

A Resort Built with Heart

Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club stands out in a region overflowing with hospitality options. Its charm is not rooted in extravagance. It is grounded in sincerity. It reflects the belief that family travel should feel joyful, accessible, and full of color.

For families planning a Disney visit, it represents more than a place to sleep. It is a retreat where memories can form in the quiet moments as much as in the thrilling ones.

At Magic Moment, the greatest luxury is not an amenity. It is the feeling of being exactly where you are meant to be, together.
