Disney Fun From Around the World: Week of May 2, 2011
Happy Weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms! May your day be sprinkled 
with lots of pixie dust and special Disney magic! 🙂 To get things started, here is some of my favorite Disney magic from the Disney Blog World this past week. Enjoy!
Let’s start things off with Brenda who had another of her great Wednesday with Walt articles on Chip and Co.: Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale. Then Chris shared her thoughts about Character Dining: How Much Is Too Much? And finally Ken offered another perspective on Disney dining: Oldies But Goodies – Tables In Wonderland, Does It Fit Your Style
My agency Destinations in Florida has a great deal set up for one of the June Star Wars Weekends. These Discount Prices are the best available for this summer but there is a limited number of rooms available. If interested, please let me know at nancy@theaffordablemouse.com!
The countdown for Disney Bird’s trip is winding down. She wonders if it is Too Soon to Start Packing?
One of my favorite sites is Disney Dispatch where I am honored to be a guest contributor each month. We’d all like to say Happy Birthday, Bob! as he acknowledges all of his great weekly columnists are that make his site so much fun!
Hungry or thirsty? Disney Driven Life has you covered with a feature on something truly delicious: the PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY MILKSHAKE from 50’s PRIME TIME CAFE
On another note, Kelly on her site Disney Guru, deals with a familiar…and sad state of affairs that many of us can relate to: Dealing with Post Disney Blues
The Disney Parks Blog let us know some important news: Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Available Now. And in honor of Mother’s Day, it is not too late to share some Disney love with your mom: Post a Tribute to Your Mom for Mother’s Day with Help from the Disney Florist
I truly enjoyed these articles from WDW Fan Zone. Tracie shared a great way to have fun with your kids while they are learning (but don’t tell them that part!): Bruce’s Shark Challenge. Meanwhile Kelly has a must-read for anyone going to Disney World this summer: Beat the Heat at Disney World. And last…but definitely not least…..Stuart tells us the Top 10 Signs You Are A Passionate Disney Fan. Did you qualify? I am pretty sure I do. 🙂
Enjoy the weekend and moms….enjoy your special day!
Smart Snacking Around the Magic Kingdom
I absolutely love the Disney Dining Plan (DDP)! I find dining to be an attraction at Walt Disney World…can you tell I like to eat? One of my favorite things to do when we are on the DDP is to be on the hunt for fabulous snack options. We see our snack options as more of a meal rather than a snack. Magic Kingdom is my favorite park so I want to share the best ways to use your Disney Dining Plan snack credit at Magic Kingdom.

re we begin, you are looking for items that are labeled with the DDP symbol. (shown here…)

Disney Driving Tip 3: Keeping the Kids Busy

Today’s tips are about keeping the kids busy and entertained while on your road trip to Walt Disney World. The last thing we want to hear repeatedly is the dreaded question, “Are we there yet?” Spending some time preparing for the trip ahead of time, and planning some activities for your kids, will help make the trip to Walt Disney World much easier for you and for them.
We like to drive in little or no traffic, so we leave at 3:00 a.m. and drive in the dark for several hours. This assures us very little traffic and the kids usually sleep until just in time to stop for breakfast. I highly recommend leaving in the middle of the night, if possible. Read more
Wordless Wednesday: My Mother’s Day Dream
No I’m not going on a Disney cruise for a Mother’s Day gift…but a girl can “Dream” can’t she? 🙂 This photo is actually of the Disney Magic as she is docked at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. My heavens this is a lovely place and if you ever, EVER have the opportunity to go on a Disney cruise…even just a short one….do it, just for the chance to spend some time at this beautiful island. I didn’t want to leave….and you won’t either.
