Dining at Walt Disney World: On a Hot August Night….
I want you to imagine standing on the edge of Main Street U.S.A on a sweltering August night. You have been walking for what seems like endless hours in the humidity filled Florida sun. You’re anxiously awaiting for the Disney Main Street Electrical Parade to begin, when your generous cousin walks up behind you with a unmarked cup and straw and says “Here try this”. You take a sip of what can only be described as cold tropical heaven. The sweet tangy flavor of pineapple races to your brain as you begin to process something special.

Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Snacks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Last but certainly not least, we need to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to experience their tasty but cheapy snacks! Hollywood Studios is just plain FUN. Lots of shows, a few of my absolute favorite rides (ahem…Rock n Roll and Toy Story!) and while we are running back and forth through the park we work up quite an appetite. This park is quite small, and while they have a handful of the snack kiosks around the park like all other parks, there aren’t as many snack choices here. Read more
