My favorite post of the week: A collection of the blog posts around the Disney “world” that were the most interesting and/or fun for me this week. I hope you enjoy them as well!

Meltdown Free Disney always has an interesting perspective on traveling to Disney World. This week she discusses why you may find that your two-year-old is the “perfect age” for Disney: From Terrible Twos To Terrific Time To Go.

If you have a Disney World vacation planned for summer or the fall, then you will want to read this article from the Orlando Sentinel The Daily Disney and learn How will a possible hurricane affect your Disney visit?

The Disney Driven Life discusses this week what it is like to visit DISNEY WITH A TEEN AND TWEEN (hint: It’s a little different from what you are used to with little ones!)

I absolutely loved this post from The Resourceful Mommy about what is wonderful in each of The Four Seasons of Disney

The Disney Food Blog shares thoughts on one of the more interesting restaurants in World Showcase in her Restaurant Marrakesh Review

As usual, Chip and Co. had tons of great articles this week. Two that I thought would be especially helpful for you were this discussion of the Top Eats – Magic Kingdom Casual Dining Restaurants and You CAN do the Disney Parks with an infant!

(And of course, here’s my weekly shameless plug for my posts at Chip and Co. as well: Ten Tips for Staying Cool at Disney World This Summer and my Disney Vacation Checklist: Tips for Saving Money and Time at Disney World) 🙂

Alrighty, that’s it for this time. Have a magical weekend everyone! See you on Monday!!!

One of my favorite posts to do each week is this one, where I have the chance to share some of the fantastic blog posts that I come across each week in the Disney “world”. In no particular order, here are a few that caught my eye this past week:

Once again, we were thrilled to be a part of the Disney Blog Carnival #4. Be sure to check it out to see lots of great Disney blogs!

The Disney Food Blog provided a couple of interesting posts this week. In 5 Best Quick-Service Dining Plan Values AJ discusses some favorite Quick Service places to eat. And she also lets us know about all of the Changes to Disney World’s Online Dining Reservation System

Over at Chip and Co. Chris had a very helpful post: Ask a Disney Question: Resort Options and Park Hoppers for Children with Autism? and also provided some great advice for saving quite a bit of money on accommodations in Ask a Disney Question: How do I get a pin code?

Our friends at The Disney Driven Life provided some interesting DISNEY COASTER NEWS

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I especially loved this post from the The Disney Blog about an important summer food: Top Five Places to Enjoy Ice Cream at Walt Disney World

As a family without young children, I could relate to this post from the Disney College Blog where she discusses Character Meet and Greets: Can You Be Too Old? (For the record, no I don’t think you can! 🙂 )

Finally, my weekly shameless plug of my posts at Chip and Co.this week: Is Renting a Vacation Home at Disney the Right Choice for You? and Discovering the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin: Two Cool Buildings with Some Heavenly Benefits

OK, that’s it for this week! Have a magical….and safe….Memorial Day weekend!

We’re Chatting About Disney Vacation Rental Homes at Chip and Co. Today

Nancy Chip and Co. Posts, Saving Money on Accommodations , , , 1 Comment

Have you ever thought of staying in a vacation home at Walt Disney World, in order to accommodate a larger group more comfortably…and to save money as well? If you have not, but are finding it challenging to find a place to stay for your large family or group that is affordable, then you may want to consider it….and you may want to read my post over at Chip and Co. today:

Is Renting a Vacation Home at Disney the Right Choice for You?

I got into an interesting discussion with a friend recently, who is planning a Disney World vacation with extended family. We were talking about the various options for where to stay: official Disney resort, off-property hotel, or vacation home or condo. It was kind of interesting, as they all have pros and cons, and when it comes to deciding the best option, especially if you are trying to have as affordable a Disney vacation as possible….as she was….then the picture isn’t always black and white. As she was leaning towards renting a home, I’m going to focus this post on the pros and cons of vacation home rental at Disney, and then would like to hear from you……

You can read the rest of the post here.

And please leave me your thoughts about whether you would ever consider this, and especially if you have done it. I would love to know if you would rent a vacation home at Disney again!

Have a magical day!

I enjoyed reading some great Disney blogs this past week. It’s always so hard for me to choose my favorites 12236130441082257790shokunin_icon_with_globe_svg_medto share with you each Saturday…but if I must, I must. 🙂

Here are a few of the ones that I thought were especially cool:

Chip and Co. always has great blog posts. Two that I especially enjoyed were Disney Food Confession – Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Milkshake (doesn’t that sound yummy?) and this one from Chris: Top Eats: Top Five Character Meals which will be very helpful when trying to book your next character meal!

Disney Food Blog provided another food-related post, that will be so helpful in planning your Advanced Dining Reservations:5 Best “One-Credit” Disney Dining Values

The official Disney Parks Blog reminded us about some of the “lesser-known” attractions all around the parks: The “Characters” of Main Street, U.S.A.

Disney College Blog shared her Favorite Rides: Harder than It Looks

Will you have some time without your kids at Disney World? Be sure to read this great post from Walt Disney World: It’s Not Just for Kids to learn about great Activities for an adult couple with ONE kidless day

And finally, forgive my shameless plug for my posts over at Chip and Co. this week: Thinking About a Disney World Christmas? Why You Need to Start Planning Now. and That Disney Christmas Magic.
