The “world” of Disney bloggers had, as usual, some great articles that I found to be interesting, fun, and very helpful. Following are some of my favorites, that will hopefully be the same for all of you! So grab your beverage of choice, put your feet up, and enjoy reading some Disney fun from around the World!

The Disney Driven Life always provides an interesting Disney perspective. This week they started a series on the many senses of the Magic Kingdom: WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS: CINDERELLA CASTLE

The folks over at Studios Central provided some helpful information if you are planning on catching a meal at Hollywood Studios with their Free Dining Guide to Hollywood Studio.

Resourceful Mommy shared some New Disney Favorites

Thrifty and Thriving offered some great ideas for an affordable Disney vacation in Disney on a Budget: Few Money Saving Tips for Inside the Parks

Always one of my favorites each week, The Disney Food Blog introduced me to a dessert I have not personally tried, but have heard a lot about: “You Won’t Believe This Snack!”: Carrot Cake Cookie (This is definitely going on my “Food To Do” list. 🙂  )

Over at Chip and Co this week, I especially enjoyed these two great posts: Chris gave us This Mom’s Disney Rules. (this is brilliant by the way, be sure to read it!), and Ken, a new writer there is starting an informative series: Oldies But Goodies – Seniors At Walt Disney World

And finally, I was clearly thinking food this week on my posts at Chip and Co. with 4 Quick Tips for Saving Money on Food at Disney World and Food and Wine Festival Strategies for Saving Money and Your Waistline.

And there you go! Hope you have a magical weekend! 🙂

Oh my goodness there were so many great blog posts this week from the “world” of Disney bloggers! I had a hard time picking my favorites….and believe me I spent a lot of time this week reading Disney blogs, just to find the most interesting ones for you. Tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. 🙂

So grab your coffee, put your feet up, and enjoy reading some of my favorites:

First of all, we were excited to be part of this past week’s Disney Blog Carnival, the 6th Edition! You will find links there to a number of really fun and interesting blogs there, so be sure to stop by!

The Disney Blog had two really interesting posts this week, offering two different perspectives: The Five Biggest Needs at Walt Disney World and Five things Walt Disney World is doing right. Be sure to check them both out for an interesting point of view.

The Disney Food Blog let us know where you can find The Five Best Steaks in Disney World

I thought this post from The Disney Driven Life was extremely helpful for anyone (including me!) who is busy SAVING FOR YOUR DISNEY TRIP

Not necessarily Disney-related, but I thought that Resourceful Mommy provided some extremely important Summer Car Safety Tips

Walt Disney World: It’s Not Just for Kids wrote an interesting piece on one of my favorite affordable Disney souvenirs: Pressed pennies…

Last week, I was excited to be featured in this blog post from A WORLD VIEW… Enjoying Walt Disney World who offered a Mid-Week Special: Eight Disney Blogs like Ours that are also Recent Start-Ups

Lisa at Chip and Co. shared her thoughts about Why My Family was Sold on the Disney Vacation Club.

And another great post from Chip and Co. discussed the exact reason why I ALWAYS say to never buy Disney tickets from Craigslist. Be sure to read this post: It’s interesting….and very sad. Five Arrested in Disney World and Universal Ticket Scam

And last, but hopefully not least :), if you didn’t already see them, I would love it if you would check out my 2 articles at Chip and Co. this week: To ADR or not ADR, That is the Question and Plan Now for Magical Disney Dining in December

OK there you go. Happy reading to all and have a magical weekend!!

I have an interesting collection of cool blog posts for this week, including a couple from new “budget” blogs that I found this week. Have fun reading…. I know I sure did!

From Inexpensively comes this great article with all kinds of ….well….Tips for Traveling Inexpensively 🙂

Madame Deals has some excellent ideas for Saving Money While Eating Out on Vacation and these tips can definitely apply to eating at Disney World!

Speaking of eating at Disney World, the Disney Food Blog has another mouth-watering post about “The Best Thing I Ever Ate at Disney!”: Breakfast (Why am I always hungry after reading her posts?)

This next post is humorous, and not exactly an affordable Disney vacation tip. But if you heard the news of Disney building new, multi-million dollar mansions on Walt Disney World property, and were bummed as most of us were about the price tag….then you will love this from The Disney Chick who offers thoughts for us paupers who will NOT be moving there:  Golden Oak: If You’re Not Rich, Then Why Are You Reading This?

On another note, Lisa from Chip and Co. has some great ideas for Date Night at Walt Disney World (My DH and I have done this…it is *wonderful* 🙂 )

It’s time for my favorite post of the week: sharing favorite Disney blogs that I found especially interesting, helpful…or just plain fun.  So, as Mickey would say: “On with the show!”

One of the best places to read a whole bunch of great Disney blogs is on the Disney Blog Carnival #5 . The Affordable Mouse is pleased to be a part of it again. Be sure to hop on over to read lots more fantastic Disney blogs as well! 🙂

This post from The Disney Driven Life shares one of the things that I personally find so special about Disney: CAST MEMBERS = MAGIC MAKERS

The Disney College Blog shared reader’s affordable Disney vacation ideas in Readers Weigh In: How to Save Money at Disney

The Disney Food Blog provides great information each week. This post in particular is, I think, very helpful: The Most Popular Disney World Restaurants (And Alternatives When They’re Full)

Lea at Magical Mousecapades continues a great series on the The Countries of World Showcase-Part 5: Italy

More great food information from comes from Chip and Co. with 5 DisneyWorld Snacks that are more like a Meal (and isn’t that a great way to stretch those dining dollars?)

And lastly, my weekly shameless plug for my two posts over at Chip and Co. 🙂 Should You Take Your Children Out of School for a Disney World Vacation? discussed a topic that many are familiar with.  In addition, I shared my thoughts about The Best Time of Year to Visit Walt Disney World.

That’s a wrap for this week. Hope you have a magical weekend and a wonderful Father’s Day celebrating those special Dads in your life! 🙂
