Magical Mouse Schoolhouse: Learn While You Play at Walt Disney World Resort

Nancy Disney Vacation Planning, What to Do at Disney World , , , 19 Comments

One of the things that I have always loved about Walt Disney World is how easily you can “learn” there: while the parks, resorts, and even restaurants offer tons of ways to be entertained, what may be one of Disney’s best kept secrets is that there are a seemingly limitless number of ways to learn as well. What’s that you say? Learning can be fun???

This is actually the premise for one of my favorite websites –  Magical Mouse Schoolhouse – which is devoted to the idea that you can “learn while you play at Walt Disney World”. The brainchild of Jodi Whisenhunt, Magical Mouse Schoolhouse was developed to be a resource for homeschooling families. As Jodi writes, “children and their parents can think outside the textbook and stretch the walls of the home classroom with Walt Disney entertainment”.

Based the success of her website, Jodi has now authored an entire book filled with ideas on how to use the Walt Disney World resort to make learning fun for kids of all ages:  Magical Mouse Schoolhouse: Learn While You Play at Walt Disney World Resort. Read more

A Disney Trip of Fun, Food, and Friends

Nancy Dining at Walt Disney World, Disney Vacation Planning, Food and Wine Festival, My Favorite Disney Things, What to Do at Disney World , , , 1 Comment

Last weekend I was thrilled to have the chance to be in Walt Disney World. It was a different kind of trip, as I was there with some of the wonderful folks who write for The Affordable Mouse, along with some other great Disney friends. And what a great time we had! It was the opening weekend of the Food and Wine Festival, and the celebration of Epcot’s 30th anniversary. It also gave me the chance to see what’s new with the Fantasyland expansion….and to see what is coming too! 🙂

So today, I thought I would share a few of the photo highlights of my trip! Read more

Happy Anniversary Epcot!

Nancy My Favorite Disney Things, What to Do at Disney World , , , 3 Comments

I have mentioned a number of times that Epcot is my favorite Disney park. So you can probably imagine then that, as you read this, I am thrilled to be in Epcot today, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Walt’s vision for tomorrow….

With that in mind, I thought this preview video of Epcot, filmed for the opening on October 1, 1982, was the perfect way to celebrate. Enjoy! 🙂

What is your favorite thing about Epcot?
