During my recent visit to Disney World my boyfriend and I were privileged enough to get a sneak peek at the New Fantasyland.  We were enjoying the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party when we thought we would stop by and see if there were holding viewings.  They said that they probably would start holding some previews once the actual party started.  While we were deciding what to do, wait around or go on more rides, a manager came over.  He asked us how many were in our party and after finding another couple told us to follow him.  He directed us straight over to Maurice’s Cottage.  He said we would be allowed to see all of the New Fantasyland but would have to start at the cottage.  I was encouraged to take as many pictures as I wanted.

Ohana Chicken Wings (Mouse on the Mind)

Your car needs a new motor. Your husband lost his job. The IRS has slapped you with a giant fine. Life costs money. Sometimes more than you have. And at that point, a flight to Orlando (not to mention on-site lodging and daily Park tickets) simply isn’t an option.

When money is tight and a visit to the Mouse House just isn’t in the cards, I like to make a little Disney magic in my kitchen. It’s easier than walking to Orlando, cheaper than eating out, and more fun than eating the same old brussels sprouts and dry chicken breast. Read more

From luau dancers to fire spinners there is quite a feast for your eyes!  I would like to make mention that this was our first trip to this particular dinner show. Read more
