I have mentioned in the past that one of my favorite “hidden” spots at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is The Writer’s Stop….a place that I love to go for a little peace and quiet while at the parks (yes, it IS possible to do that!). At risk of sharing my little secret with the rest of the “world”, and thereby destroying said peace and quiet, I thought I would give you a glimpse today into this little gem…..with the condition that you won’t go and blab about it to thousands of your best friends. We’ll keep it our little secret, ok?? 🙂 Read more

Affordable Disney Vacations: Your Vacation Budget Puzzle
I started off this Disney vacation budget mini-series last time by talking about making a budget right at the beginning, because I really think that it is easier to decide what you can spend first…and then plan a vacation to meet that budget. I always tell folks that there are 3 basic keys to making an affordable Disney vacation happen: planning, budgeting, and an open mind. With these three things guiding you, you can really take all the aspects of a Disney vacation and change each as needed until you have a vacation you can afford.
In fact, I like to think of it as putting the pieces of a puzzle together to create a beautiful picture. In this case that picture is your dream of a Disney vacation only with this puzzle there is no right way to put those pieces together! The only right way is the one that makes your dream a reality! Saving money on a Disney vacation is about choices and in some instances, trade-offs: if you want or need to spend more in one area, then work to reduce costs in another. Read more
