Affordable Disney: Disney Visa Savings and Fun

We LOVE going to Walt Disney World, it really is our MAGICAL vacation spot!! We also love to save money on our trips any way we can.  One of our favorite ways to save is to use our Disney VISA Credit Card (debit Cards work too).  We like to use our card during the year to save up the Rewards Dollars to use for the souvenirs or snacks we KNOW we are going to buy each trip.  About a month before we leave, we go online and order our Disney Rewards Redemption Cards so they will arrive in the mail in plenty of time (they are re-loadable for future rewards).  All the Rewards Dollars we accrue can be used to pay for just about anything on our Disney vacation!

Exploring Disney: Getting a Kiss Goodnight from Magic Kingdom

If you have ventured to the World before, what type of Disney vacationer are you? Slow and lazy? Or fast and crazy?

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know exactly the type my family falls into. We are definitely not the ones to take a slow approach to touring and we are even more definitely not the type to take a long break in the middle of the day. The way we think of it is if we wanted to sit around by a pool for hours, we’d just go to the local water park back home. We’re in Disney, so we want to be enjoying our Disney magic. Which means we try to squeeze every drop possible out of our days. Now, I’m not going to tell you we’re rope drop people. I’m a rope drop people. I LOVE getting a super early start and being one of the first people to greet a park in the morning. (Have you ever heard that blissful welcome message and music?) Read more
