Editor’s Note: This month, The Affordable Mouse is celebrating our 2nd birthday! And in honor of our birthday, our Friday posts this month will be all about…..celebrations at Disney World! To start us off, Kelly has some thoughts about a celebration that she has yet to make….but hopes to some day…..

We all have a dream when we think about Disney World, for some it may be a magical stay at a deluxe villa resort, for some it may be an extended vacation with everyone in their family, for others it may be to actually visit Walt Disney World for the first time ever. My Disney dream is to visit Walt Disney World for Christmas. Not the week before, not the week after, I want to wake up Christmas morning and open presents with my kids at Walt Disney World.  I want to celebrate Christmas at Walt Disney World!!! Read more

Disney Gift Giving: Belinda’s Wish List

Guest Disney Fun, Disney Gift Giving , , , 0 Comment

One of my most favorite holidays of the year is fast approaching… Christmas. I love everything about it; the sights, the sounds, the music, the decorations and of course the fresh baked treats coming from the kitchen. I just love Christmas and the magic it brings to our home.  For me the magic of Christmas comes from the love of Disney that my husband and I share. Our home is filled with the sights and sounds of all things Disney; from the decorations abound to the Disney village that adorns our mantle. It is such an emotional and meaningful time of year and nothing makes it better than by being surrounded by Mickey and Minnie. Read more

With the holidays around the corner, we at The Affordable Mouse, of course, have a few Disney things on our Christmas wish lists….and we thought it might be fun to share what we’re wishing for with you! Hope you enjoy….and maybe get some good ideas for your lists! 🙂

The holidays are coming and folks I have been creating my Christmas list for quite a while now because I am so excited about everything that is on it this year.  I bet you can guess my Christmas list theme???? Yep…Disney!!

What could be a better gift for a Disney lover other than Disney themed merchandise? Did you know that there is a Disney item for almost anything you could possible imagine? So grab yourself a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy as you take a peek into what my Christmas morning will hopefully look like. ;0) Read more

Dining at Walt Disney World: Via Napoli

Guest Dining at Walt Disney World, Disney Vacation Planning , , , , , 6 Comments

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of dining for the very first time in the Italy pavilion at Epcot a few weeks ago. Via Napoli was our restaurant of choice and I have to say I was quite impressed with everything at this dining location.

Being from Chicago where authentic pizza is readily available to me at the push of a button and formerly working at an authentic brick oven pizzeria in Chicago, I went into this dining experience ready to review. I have to be honest; I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. Read more

Tucked away in a little corner of Liberty Square located inside the magical walls of Disney’s Magic Kingdom, is a quaint counter service location known for ambiance and seafood. Columbia Harbour House (CHH) is a wonderful counter service location, especially for those that are on the Disney Dining Plan. You will find an array of meal options from chicken to seafood. On the whole most of the food is fried but not to fear it does not lose its flavorful taste. Read more
