Ed. Note: Welcome to Alaina, our newest writer, who will be sharing her expertise on military at Disney World with us each month. Alaina is also a member of The Affordable Mouse travel agent team, and we are thrilled to have her join us! 

Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party is a special ticketed event that happens after hours at Magic Kingdom on select nights in September and October. If you have never been I highly recommend it. It is so much fun to dress up, trick or treat, and see characters that are not always out. They also have an amazing Halloween parade and firework show!  Read more

Thrifty Thursday: How Important to You is a Table Service Meal at Disney World?

 

DSCN0210I was talking with my son and his girlfriend the other day while they were deciding about a sit down meal while in Walt Disney World this fall. They were going back and forth on if they should make reservations and if they do, where would be a nice place to go. What we learned…it depends on the individual, couple or family going! Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Free Disney Water

I once inadvertently overheard a conversation between a mother and her young son at Walt Disney World. Her son, who appeared to be about 6 years old, was telling her how thirsty he was and I could see she was carrying a bottle of water. She was telling him how she told him he should have also gotten a bottle of water as she had suggested, but he had insisted on the Mickey Ice Cream. I noticed that her bottle was only about 1/3 full and guessed that she was trying to make it last as long as possible. Read more

Thrifty Thursday: What Can I do Outside the Disney Parks?

DSCN0233No matter how many time I try to explain to people who have not visited Walt Disney World – they still think of it as an amusement park! WDW is so much more than rides: it is shows, entertainment, shops, ambiance, fun, magic and a trip from reality! You don’t have to just ride from hotel to park and then back again. Try spending 1 day doing things outside of your hotel or park to see what all Disney has to offer! Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Those Awesome Disney Fireworks!

I was talking to a friend recently, who just got back from their Disney vacation. We talked about everything she and her family did on their trip and how much they all enjoyed Disney. When I asked her what they thought of the fireworks shows, she said they had not seen them. They had gotten up each day and went to the parks as early as possible, but had “pooped out” before the fireworks were to start and went back to the resort before they began each evening. It became very important to me to make sure you all know that you should not miss this important part of a Walt Disney World trip. Read more
