I’m very conscious of finding big and small ways to save money; however, writing Thrifty Thursday really make me more aware since I have to bring you new and fresh money and/or time-saving ideas twice each month. Soooo… I was thinking. We’ve talked a lot about how to save money towards your Disney vacation and how to save money while you are at Disney on vacation, but did you know you can save money at home while you are on vacation?

Dining at Walt Disney World: Making Walt’s Chili
Editor’s note: As we head into the cool fall weather, I started thinking about making chili…and thought it would be the perfect time to re-run a favorite post from the past, the recipe for Walt’s Own Chili. 🙂 Complete with recipe and photos….and ready for you to prepare. Enjoy! 🙂
I was cooking at work one day and I thought to myself, “What would Walt want for lunch”? So I started doing some research and found, like his personality, Walt had very humble tastes.

Disney World with Little Ones: How Young Is Too Young To Roam?
I recently came across an interesting image (but not the exact one above) on Facebook of an admission ticket to Disney World from the 1980s (when WDW consisted only of EPCOT and Magic Kingdom). The back said “Children under 7 years must be accompanied by an adult.” Let me get this straight…in 1987, before cell phones were a thing, you could drop your little one off, say “see ya!” and allow them to visit and use transportation between the two parks. Whoa, how times have changed! Read more
