Being a mom who has raised her kids Disney, I have cherished every moment with them while all the while knowing that one day I would not be traveling with all of them as they would eventually grow up and create lives of their own. I have been very blessed to be able to travel with all three of them for all these years, as my oldest is now twenty-six. Read more

Happy Thanksgiving From The Affordable Mouse
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from all of us here at The Affordable Mouse. We wish you and your family every good blessing and we are so very thankful to have you join us today!
I personally have so much to be thankful for this year. I have been blessed in many ways, paramount among them is the birth of my first grandchild (or grandprincess as I like to call her), Aleyah, who at 4 weeks old has already brought more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined. I cannot wait to take her on her first trip to Walt Disney World and Nancy and I have a friendly bet on how long I will be able to hold out. Read more
Thrifty Thursday: Keys to the Kingdom Tour
I normally use my Thursday posts to write about free things to do at Disney, but I also think that a good thrifty deal is getting a great experience for the money. During our trip to Walt Disney World last year, my hubby and I decided to splurge and finally take the Keys to the Kingdom Tour at the Magic Kingdom. We really enjoyed it and we found it to be well worth the time and the money. This particular tour takes you behind the scenes at the Magic Kingdom, including the famous utilidors – the first level of the Magic Kingdom, long thought to be a tunnel. It was a great experience and I wanted to share some information with you in case you have been thinking about taking a tour as well. Read more

Fresh off my very first trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth this past spring, my husband and I began planning our summer vacation. We decided on San Diego, with Sea World, LegoLand, and the zoo in our sights. However, the CityPass tickets we purchased offered us, much to my delight, three days’ admission to Disneyland. Although we did not set out to plan a second “Disney” vacation, I began planning in earnest only to find there wasn’t much in the way of advice, etc, for Walt Disney World’s sister park. It seems as if everything online is geared towards Walt Disney World. The result: this short series of articles on planning your Disneyland vacation! Read more
