The Transportation and Ticket Center is the hub of Disney World. This is where you can buy tickets to the parks or special events such as holiday parties, visit restrooms that tend to be overlooked, head to any of the theme parks, and hop on transportation to a variety of resorts such as monorails to the Contemporary and Grand Floridian or boats to Fort Wilderness. Once you’ve decided that you’re going to visit Magic Kingdom, you’ve got another decision to make — how to get there. You could grab the monorail and feel futuristic, or you could go for something a touch more quaint and old-fashioned – the ferry. Read more

I get asked a lot of things by friends and acquaintances who are pondering whether a trip to Walt Disney World is or should be in their future. One of the most common inquiries I hear is the question, “What age should my kids be when they go to Disney?” It sounds like an easy question with an easy answer but there really is no wrong or right age to take your kids to Walt Disney World.

Thrifty Thursday: Making the Magic Last

As a little girl, I spent many days at my grandmother’s house. Some of my fondest memories are of us, snuggled together on the couch, looking through her old photo albums.  I loved slowly turning the pages as she told me stories about the people in the pictures – all the way from the early 1900s up to when I was just a baby.  I am guilty of failing to print pictures or make photo albums in this digital, fast-paced age.  The ability to savor our family memories is a gift I want to give my children, minus the burden of having to convert data from one format to another or tediously sort through hundreds of thousands of photo files.  Read more

Disney with Special Needs: Is It Really Time to Leave?

Arriving at Disney World is one of the best moments of life. For my family, the trip has been upwards of 14 hours in a car (or train, but that’s a whole other talk) and months of preparation, and we’ve been ticking down the milestones for several states. When we finally see that first billboard held up by a white-gloved hand, and then the first mention of a resort, and then, oh, then, the “Where Dreams Come True” arch, it is a glorious moment. There are often tears. I want to fling myself out of the car and do a dance. It is wonderful. But even among all the giggles and cheers and tears and kisses and hugs, there is a dark cloud looming. We try to ignore it. We push it away and refuse to let it dampen our spirits. But it’s there. The worst, most miserable, most terrible, horrible moment of a Disney Vacation — when it ends. Read more
