Nancy Disney Fun From Around the "World" , , 0 Comment

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! Hope you have lots of great plans for celebrating America’s birthday! As you read this, I am on my way to a week at the beach…not Disney, but maybe the next best thing! 🙂

As I mentioned earlier, and on our Facebook page this week, I am leaving The Affordable Mouse in the very capable hands of our wonderful writers, the Affordable Mousketeers. And they have a wonderful week of fun planned for you while I’m gone: lots of great Disney stories and the best part…the chance to win a $50 Disney gift card! You can read all the details here.  Be sure to stop by every day to increase your chance of winning!

Because of the contest, there won’t be a Disney blog round-up next Saturday….so this week’s will have to do for a couple of weeks. With that in mind….enjoy!

I’m always interested in ways that you can incorporate learning with Disney.  The Disney Driven Life offers some suggestions here: SUMMER READING WITH DISNEY

Wordless Wednesday: My Country ’tis of Thee

You just never know who you will run into when you are visiting Walt Disney World. One minute you’re strolling around Epcot’s World Showcase, the next, a group of Yankee Doodle Dandies are marching towards you, fife and drums announcing their way. So wait, is this Disney….or Williamsburg…..or Colonial America?

Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day weekend…no matter where you are celebrating! 🙂

Many folks (including myself) have found Disney’s “Let the Memories Begin” promotion this year to be a touching way to celebrate something that we all….Disney veteran or first-timer….associate with a Disney vacation: the opportunity to create special, lasting memories with those we love. Few things are more precious…or priceless….than these moments we share with family and friends on a Disney vacation.

I bring this up because, I am getting ready to leave for vacation next week, and while I wish I could say that we were going to be traveling to Walt Disney World, I am still excited nonetheless to have a chance to unwind at the beach for an entire week. Now, those of you who have been regular readers of The Affordable Mouse for a while, know that when I go on vacation, I like to bring you guys back a souvenir or two as giveaways. 🙂 And as I talked about this with our wonderful writers, we thought it might be fun to tie my vacation giveaway for you into some fun and games as well, all celebrating what Disney does best…create memories.

Wordless Wednesday: Soarin’

Nancy Wordless Wednesday , , , , 0 Comment

Everyone has their favorite ride or attraction at Walt Disney World…that one ride that you can go on over and over and over again, and never get tired of it. The ride that just makes you smile, and instantly takes you to your “happy place” when you think about it, even though you may be thousands of miles away.

That ride for me is Soarin’. 🙂
