We visited from May 6 – May 15 with 7 Day Magic Your Way tickets. I’ve got so much to share with you from our trip, but I figured we may as well start with the basics. Many factors played a part down to the last detail of our vacation throughout the planning process. My main considerations when planning a trip to WDW will always be weather, crowds, and rates. While early May is rarely listed on those “best times to go” lists, I’d have to argue that maybe it should be – for my family, anyway. Here’s why. Read more

Editor: On a regular basis, the topic of Pin Codes comes up. Mysterious yet highly desirable little things, Pin Codes are like the Holy Grail of Disney discounts….everyone wants to know how to get them. 🙂 So I thought I would use today’s post to re-run an excellent explanation from our friend and former writer, Brenda who is the author of many wonderful articles for us. 🙂

My friend called me the other day and told me she had received a pin code in the mail for Disney World. She said she was not going to be able to use it for her family so she wanted to give it to me. I told her that, as sweet as the offer was and as much as I would love to have a pin code, only the person to which it is addressed can use it. So, I thought I would write a quick tip for you guys on exactly what a pin code is and why it is so valuable. Read more

As I have said many times before, the magic of Disney lives on property – all over the property; and you can only experience the magic 24/7 if you are staying at an on-property resort. I know that if you are planning your very first visit you might be thinking that you will have to stay off property in order to be able to afford the trip. I want to talk today about all the free extras that make Disney resorts worth looking into. Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: Madness and Mayhem at Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner

Brenda Tuesday Disney Tips, What to Do at Disney World , , , , 2 Comments

We started reserving character meals years ago when my children were small. To keep costs down, we only incorporated one or two into our trips. One of the best things about receiving the free dining promotion for the past couple of years has been the opportunity to dine at many more character meals. I wanted to share a pictorial review of one of our favorites — Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner in the 1900 Park Fare. Read more
