Well, we are less than 3 months out from our Disney World vacation and it can’t get here soon enough!

Choosing when to go to Disney can often be the hardest decision that has to be made when planning your vacation.  Aside from the obvious obstacles, (ie school, weather, cost) most people worry about the crowds.  My husband and I have vacationed at Disney World during each season and have enjoyed each for different reasons.  For us, just being at Disney World is an incredible and exciting time, so ANY time we get to go we’re EXTREMELY happy!  But we DO have our favorite time of the year to go and that is during the fall.  Let me explain and I hope that I can offer tips for you when that daunting choice of when to visit faces YOUR family.

A couple of weeks ago, something really awesome happened: I received an e-mail from Disney, alerting me that fans of Downtown Disney on Facebook would have access to super low rates for only 72 hours: 

While I couldn’t take advantage of any of these deals, they were pretty great, and I was thrilled that I was able to access them simply by clicking “like” on the Downtown Disney Area Hotels Facebook page. Easy as click and save!  Read more

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.

 I am often asked how much a trip to Walt Disney trip is going to cost. The answers can vary so it is impossible to give a definite response. The one thing I always stress is, save for the trip and pay as you go. This will make your trip so much more relaxing knowing you won’t have that huge vacation bill hanging over your head when you return. Purchasing passes a few at a time, paying on the hotel in payments and purchasing snacks or those hidden souvenirs for little ones a few at a time helps spread the expense out. When I pay for something or pick something up, it makes me even more excited knowing I am that much closer to my Walt Disney World vacation. Read more
