Thrifty Thursday: What Can I do Outside the Disney Parks?

DSCN0233No matter how many time I try to explain to people who have not visited Walt Disney World – they still think of it as an amusement park! WDW is so much more than rides: it is shows, entertainment, shops, ambiance, fun, magic and a trip from reality! You don’t have to just ride from hotel to park and then back again. Try spending 1 day doing things outside of your hotel or park to see what all Disney has to offer! Read more

Terrific Tuesday: Ever Changing Disney Experience!

10506889_806086196109251_5513713240655272048_oFor those of us who don’t get a chance to visit the most Magical Place on Earth very often, it can be quite intimidating each trip. I haven’t been in 3 years and recently started planning a trip for late fall. Oh my – the changes with the Magic Bands and Fast Passes is enough to overwhelm anyone.

Walt Disney World for Grown-Ups: What to Do at the Magic Kingdom

It has so many attractions that it can be difficult to narrow down a must-do list, but here are some of the rides adults should plan to visit. Read more

Special Dining Needs at Disney: A Food Tale As Old As Time

IMG_0686It’s a tale as old as time, girl loves food, food loves girl, but then gluten gets in the middle of it.  Disney steps in, escorts gluten out, and girl can eat happily ever after!  I know many people out there feel the same with a few substitutes: boys, girls, men, women, gluten, dairy, peanut, or kosher.  There are many things that make us unique, what we can manage to eat being one of them.  As you already know I love Disney because I can eat almost anything my heart desires.  The last time I went though I fell in love all over again.

Thrifty Thursday: Those Awesome Disney Fireworks!

I was talking to a friend recently, who just got back from their Disney vacation. We talked about everything she and her family did on their trip and how much they all enjoyed Disney. When I asked her what they thought of the fireworks shows, she said they had not seen them. They had gotten up each day and went to the parks as early as possible, but had “pooped out” before the fireworks were to start and went back to the resort before they began each evening. It became very important to me to make sure you all know that you should not miss this important part of a Walt Disney World trip. Read more
