Editor’s Note: Please welcome Abbie to The Affordable Mouse team of writers. Abbie will be sharing her favorite “Terrific Tuesdays” for us several times each month and we are looking forward to her thoughts on the best rides and attractions at Walt Disney World! 🙂

Thank you for welcoming me to The Affordable Mouse, I’m so excited to be writing for Terrific Tuesday’s! I wasn’t sure what to do for my first entry but my son, Ethan, who is twelve, insisted on me writing about the Hollywood Tower of Terror. I remember going on this ride for the first time when I was at Disney’s MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studio’s) when I was 15 years old in 1995. It quickly passed up Space Mountain and became my favorite ride. Read more

Disney Photo Tips: Capture the Real Disney Moments

It can be tricky and even stressful trying to photograph kids (of any age) while having fun in the parks. Next time, try pulling your camera out and snapping away while they’re not looking and giving you an overly fake smile. You will be pleasantly surprised at how a real moment captured is sometimes the best type of photograph!

Karen grew up in the Boston area and traveled to Disney World many times with her parents and sister. Always staying at the Fort Wilderness Cabins gave the trips a feeling of a home away from home. It also started the tradition of attending the Hoop Dee Doo Review on each trip! Somehow that show sparked her interest in the Disney College Program. Which she did in the fall of 2002, working as a hostess @ Captain Jacks in Downtown Disney. Now as an adult, Karen finds herself traveling to the parks on a yearly basis! Photography has always been a hobby of Karen’s, but over the past few years it has become her passion. It’s even taken her to her favorite place! The Make a Wish Foundation sent a family to Disney for a week and Karen was lucky enough to be their photographer of choice! She got to tag along and photograph their memories being made. She hopes to get that experience again someday! You can find more of Karen’s photography on her site www.KPportraits.com.

My family has been to Walt Disney World several times, but until recently, we had never taken the time to sit back and enjoy any of the shows.   So I was bound and determined that on our last trip we would.  Though we only saw two, I think we picked the best ones there are.   Read more

Football season is once again about to kickoff. Minnie is a self proclaimed “football widow”. However, even when you are at Walt Disney World you don’t want to miss your team taking the field on a Sunday (or Monday or Thursday). Read more

Can you believe summer is nearly over?  Where did it go?  One end of summer tradition we have is to go to the Indiana State Fair which it seems that I can somehow connect to Disney. (Last year it was finding the Dole Whip 🙂   ).  This is year was made super easy by one of the key note attractions- Get Animated.  This was a unique exhibit dedicated to the history and stories of animation and the artists; including Disney, Hanna-Barbera, Fox, etc.  Read more
