An Out of the World Summer: Disneyland Paris

Tina Disney Vacation Planning , , , 1 Comment

Editor’s note: I’m thrilled to introduce a new series today, on another wonderful piece of Disney that many/most of us may have never been privileged to visit: Disneyland Paris. Thanks to Tina (lucky girl!!), we will have the benefit of hearing all about what it is like to visit a Disney park in another country, and learn as well, of course, how to do it as affordably as possible. So if you have plans to visit Disneyland Paris….or simply are dreaming about it, follow along with Tina this summer and learn along with the rest of us! 🙂

 I love Paris!  I have been twice, once in 2003 and then again in 2008.  I also, of course, am in love with all things Disney!  So what could be BETTER than Disney IN Paris?  I’m not sure there is anything better!  There are people out there that say, “Why waste a day of Paris in Disneyland,” but those people aren’t crazy about Disney, like us, so we just ignore them 😉

This summer, my husband and I are taking an-almost-2-week trip to Europe.  Being the Disney fan I am, I have to try out “Euro Disney” this time around!  I am happy to share how we are doing this, and all the logistics that go along with planning a (and hopefully saving some $)  trip to Disneyland Paris .

Disney Cruise Line Staterooms

Guest Disney Cruises, Disney Vacation Planning , , , , , , 1 Comment

Disney Cruise Line is considered a luxury cruise line in the industry. As with everything Disney, they do it up and they do it right. While it is true that a Disney Cruise is a little bit more than the cost of other cruise lines out there, please keep in mind that having all of the comforts of home while you cruise is essential in creating a magical vacation. Disney did not skimp on the wow factor in their rooms….as always, they thought of everything. So today we start off our cruise segment with a walk-through of a Disney Cruise Line stateroom.  Read more

When you’re heading toward an early morning rope drop and a full day in the Parks, breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. Of course, the quickest, easiest way to save on breakfast is to bring your own from home: breakfast bars, coffee-maker oatmeal, yogurt and things like that. But if, like me, you need something warm and full of protein to make it through the day, here are some ways to save cash before you hit the resort bus stop.

Tonga Toast at The Polynesian

The Expensive Version
