Whew! We just got back from a trip to Walt Disney World. I feel like I need a few days (or weeks) to catch back up to “reality.” Has anyone ever gotten back from a trip and found a hidden surprise in your luggage? I’ve been known to find streamers and confetti… Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2012
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: six words that are sweet, delicious music to every Disney foodie’s ears.
Walking around the World Showcase, sipping and snacking, is a great way to spend an afternoon (or two … or three) during Food and Wine, but it’s not exactly the most cost-effective way to get your Disney dining done.
But never fear! I’ve been to the Food and Wine Festival, and I’ve got you covered. Here are my top five picks for the thriftiest treats at this year’s festival:
1. Pumpkin Mousse from Hops and Barley (American Adventure)
Not only is this the cheapest eat on my list at $1.50, it’s also my all-time favorite Food and Wine snack. Yes, it’s small, but there are four or five good bites here, and every one of them is delicious. It’s got cool, creamy pudding, chewy craisins and a little bit of crunch from the oat crumble topping. Perfect, delicious and thrifty.
Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Snacks in Epcot’s World Showcase
Last week we went through some great snack choices in Magic Kingdom. Today I thought I would share our favorite frugal choices in Epcot. Epcot is our favorite park because of all the different countries of World Showcase. It’s fun to stroll around to each country and try a small snack or drink! Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Snacks in Magic Kingdom
Whether you chose the dining plan for your trip or not, sometimes you need to spend a little money for an extra snack (or two, if you are like my family and have a hubs & a kid who are ALWAYS hungry!) I like to look around each time I am in Walt Disney World and check prices and make a mental note of where to buy our snacks, because prices vary from place to place and I like to be smart about what we pay for. There are reasonably priced snacks hidden all over, amongst all the “I-am-not-paying-that-much-for-that!” type snacks 🙂 To me, any “snack” that costs over $5 seems too expensive, and even paying $4.99 doesn’t seem great to me, but that’s how I figure out if we should get it or not. If one of us wants a snack, I’ll say, “as long as it’s under $5 :)” Read more
