Thrifty Thursday: Stars and Pancakes

I’ve done a lot of writing about cheaper eats at Disney World. Especially breakfast, which I love and totally swear by as a way to fuel up before a long day of Park hopping and fun times.

Free Dining or No Free Dining, That is the Question

DISCLAIMER: Before I start, let me just say that I have NO inside information, and absolutely NO knowledge of when or if Free Dining will be offered this year.

The things that Disney does to entertain us are truly amazing. They sincerely want us to have the most magical time while in their care.
