As I sat down thinking about my favorite things at Walt Disney World my mind kept wandering to all the wonderful trips I have taken over the past 15 plus years. I was not lucky enough to visit Disney World until I was in my mid thirties, so I didn’t have the pleasure of enjoying it as a child – ok, at least not a child in years!  I’m just one of the many older kids you see walking around Disney with a goofy looking grin on my face, skipping around the parks and looking every bit the kid I am inside.

Princesses With A Plan: Packing for Our Disney Trip

Brenda Disney Vacation Planning, Princesses With a Plan , , 5 Comments

Now that we have booked our flight, Susan and I have been making checklists of what we want to pack for our upcoming trip. We will pack most of our things in our checked baggage, but we want to make sure that we have any necessary items in our carry on bags as well.

Because of TSA rules, we have been picking up travel-sized toiletries whenever we see them on sale. *The rules say that liquids and gels must be in 3-oz containers and then these containers must be put inside one clear, quart-sized zip-top bag.  Our lightweight carry on suitcases will include our essential items, just in case our luggage gets lost. Also, we will be going to the park immediately, so we want to make sure that all the necessary items for park touring are included in our carry on bags as well. Read more

Walking down Main Street USA, while your gaze may be transfixed by that Castle at the end, take a few moments to look at the windows. The names of the “proprietors” of the Main Street shops are displayed….and you might find some of them quite interesting! 🙂

Many thanks to Brenda for this great photo!

Princesses With A Plan: Choosing Our Flight to Walt Disney World

For Susan and me, choosing our flight to Orlando wasn’t as difficult as for some people. Three things made it a little easier for us:

  1. We live about 25 minutes from our nearest airport and about 1.5 hours from the next closest.
  2. The airport nearest our home is smaller, easier to get around in, and is more familiar.
  3. We both prefer Southwest Airlines as we have had excellent service from them in the past; and Southwest not only flies to Orlando, but our closest airport happens to be one of its hubs.

My Favorite Disney Things: Iluminations – Reflections of Earth

I don’t know what it is about me and fireworks, but there is something about these nighttime shows of light, and music, and noise that just get me every time. I like fireworks in “general”….but nothing beats Disney when it comes to fireworks. And in my honest opinion, once you’ve seen Disney fireworks, you are pretty much spoiled for any other fireworks anywhere else.

I guess you could say that fireworks are truly one of my favorite Disney things. 🙂
