Art of Animation: Landscape of Flavors

When traveling to Disney World a HUGE part of the fun is eating!!  It is important to know that when you are at Disney World there is not a shortage on food and plenty of good food at that. Recently my family and I had an amazing 10 day stay at Disney’s brand new resort, Art of Animation. I have to say that everything about this place is amazing including the food offerings. Read more

Let The Affordable Mouse Birthday Giveaway Begin!

Well, we’re having a birthday! And all birthdays deserve a celebration, don’t you think? 🙂

As I mentioned on Friday, this year, our birthday celebration has two parts. First, we’re paying it forward with charity donations for any Disney vacations booked or transferred during the month of December.

And secondly, we’re having a giveaway of course! 🙂 Above you can see a super Disney vacation prize pack, that is perfect to take on your trip. With a fun lightweight tote bag, you’ll have room for the travel cup, sticker activity book, autograph-size Mickey notebook, Mickey pens, and lanyard. I even threw in a packet of glow-in-the-dark bracelets to keep everyone happy while waiting for the fireworks. 🙂 Oh…and there’s your very own plush Mickey along for the ride too! Read more

Celebrating a Disney Birthday….and Paying it Forward

Just over three years ago I had this crazy idea to start a blog about Disney World….because I love to write and love Disney World more. At that time, who would have ever thought that my little blog would introduce me to thousands of “Disney Friends”, and ultimately open the door to being able to follow my dream of becoming a Disney travel agent! Some days I have to pinch myself when I think about working at something that I truly love, and having the honor and privilege of being able to assist hundreds of folks in creating magical Disney vacations….

So this is a very special time of the year for me, as I have the opportunity to celebrate this birthday, just when the Holiday Season gets underway. It seems appropriate somehow to celebrate something that gives joy to others, during this Season of Joy.

With that in mind, I am marking this birthday in two very special ways….and I hope that you will share in the celebration with me. Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Snacks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Last but certainly not least, we need to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to experience their tasty but cheapy snacks!  Hollywood Studios is just plain FUN.  Lots of shows, a few of my absolute favorite rides (ahem…Rock n Roll and Toy Story!) and while we are running back and forth through the park we work up quite an appetite.  This park is quite small, and while they have a handful of the snack kiosks around the park like all other parks, there aren’t as many snack choices here.  Read more
