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. 

About a year ago, I first explored thrifty breakfast options at the resort hotels, and then recently we re-examined a couple of breakfast options at deluxe resorts.

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 following is not an official position of any company, but merely my own PERSONAL opinion, in response to the many questions that are circulating about this at the moment.…………Now that we have that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled blog post. 🙂  ~ Nancy

If you have spent any time at all online, whether you are planning your first Disney vacation or your 20th, you have probably heard about Disney’s awesome promotion, Free Dining.

And even folks who have never been to Walt Disney World at all, have heard through the grapevine of this Holy Grail of Disney promotions. Because let’s face it: a Disney vacation can end up being pretty pricey, and who wouldn’t love Free Food? Read more

Each year, I try to incorporate new activities into our trips to replace the special things we did when they were younger. One of the new favorite activities I began doing a few years ago is the “Monorail Mania Meal.” Being from an Italian family, most of our best visiting has often ensued in the kitchen around a meal, so I guess it is no stretch of the imagination that I began this tradition in the same way.

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. It isn’t enough to just have us come and experience the world and the attractions and the shows and the parades and all of the wonderful things that they provide, they want us to interact with the world in such a unique way. That is why they have created interactive games for us to take part in while we are IN the parks. Like playing a video game…while on vacation…while touring the World!!! WOW! Read more
