My post over at Chip and Co. this week was about a very important topic, in my opinion, if you are trying to save money so you can have an affordable Disney vacation.tickets-383x500

Buyer Beware: Discount Disney Tickets 411

There are currently some fantastic Disney promotions that can really help you plan an affordable Disney vacation, and if you are able to travel during the promotion availability, you can save some serious money. But what if you can’t? What if you have to visit Disney World during the “popular” times: vacations, holidays etc? Disney does not offer promotions during that time frame, because frankly they don’t need to. The crowds during these times prove the obvious: the last thing Disney needs to do is offer attractive promotions to entice more people to visit.

You can read the rest of the post at Chip and Co. 🙂

Thanks for going over there to play today! Have a magical day!

scn_wel_004I am excited to share with you that I am now writing for one of my favorite Disney sites, Chip and Co.! Yesterday, my first article for them was published:

Can We Afford to Go to Disney World.. Again..and Again?

It happened again the other day. I heard someone say: “I would love to go on a Disney World vacation, but it’s just too expensive.”

I have lost count how many times I have heard this statement, and I always feel kind of bad when I do, because I think that’s what most people think, and it prevents folks from even considering a trip to Disney World because they think they can’t afford it. The thing is a Disney vacation can actually be very affordable. There are all kinds of ways to save money. It’s really all about how you plan……Read the rest here…

Thanks for visiting me at Chip and Co.! Don’t worry, I’ll still be here as well! 🙂 Have a magical day!
