Pins are awesome. That adorable Elliott over there on the right is one of my all-time favorite Disney things. He shows off my particular brand of Disney insanity and makes me happy when I’m feeling down.
But I’m not much of a pin collector, really, because they’re so darn expensive. That Elliott? He cost me something like $8. Which is really quite an investment, when you consider the fact that I could have a Mickey bar and a bottle of water for that price. Read more
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope everyone got a chance to spend time with family and friends. Happy Black Friday to all you shoppers! I have never gone shopping on Black Friday since I’m not what you call a “morning” person. Plus working in healthcare and having family in 2 states changes how you celebrate holidays……
So what kind of Disney deals did you find today? Read more
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

Karen grew up in the Boston area and traveled to Disney World many times with her parents and sister. Always staying at the Fort Wilderness Cabins gave the trips a feeling of a home away from home. It also started the tradition of attending the Hoop Dee Doo Review on each trip! Somehow that show sparked her interest in the Disney College Program. Which she did in the fall of 2002, working as a hostess @ Captain Jacks in Downtown Disney. Now as an adult, Karen finds herself traveling to the parks on a yearly basis! Photography has always been a hobby of Karen’s, but over the past few years it has become her passion. It’s even taken her to her favorite place! The Make a Wish Foundation sent a family to Disney for a week and Karen was lucky enough to be their photographer of choice! She got to tag along and photograph their memories being made. She hopes to get that experience again someday! You can find more of Karen’s photography on her site www.KPportraits.com.
One of the biggest challenges in keeping costs down on your Disney vacation is that souvenir budget. It often seems like all the planning that you do on every aspect of your trip can get totally blown when faced with a totally adorable….and totally overpriced….Disney souvenir. Which is why it can be really helpful to know in advance, some great ideas for some really fun and awesome souvenirs. Today’s article is about one of my favorite affordable Disney souvenirs, something that costs just over 50 cents, offers a good deal of fun involved in getting it, and can provide a great commemoration of your Disney trip……pressed pennies.
With pressed penny machines located all over the parks and resorts, there are enough design options to satisfy the “collector” in anyone. Kids especially enjoy the process of squishing pennies and parents truly appreciate the ability to encourage their children in collecting a souvenir that won’t break the bank (sorry but I couldn’t resist that pun 🙂 ) Read more
