In August of this year my family of four, including kids ages 5 and 9, traveled to Walt Disney World with my sister, niece – age 7 and nephew – age 5. For the first time ever, we tried one of Disney’s Children’s Activity Centers. I’ve always want to explore the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so we decided the kids would spend time at Simba’s Club House while the adults dined at Jiko. Read more
What to Do at Disney World
Terrific Tuesdays: Do You Believe in the Fifth Dimension?
Editor’s Note: Please welcome Abbie to The Affordable Mouse team of writers. Abbie will be sharing her favorite “Terrific Tuesdays” for us several times each month and we are looking forward to her thoughts on the best rides and attractions at Walt Disney World! 🙂

I wasn’t sure what to do for my first entry but my son, Ethan, who is twelve, insisted on me writing about the Hollywood Tower of Terror. I remember going on this ride for the first time when I was at Disney’s MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studio’s) when I was 15 years old in 1995. It quickly passed up Space Mountain and became my favorite ride. Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: How a Ride Wimp Soars to Disney Thrills
I have shared in the past that I am a certifiable Ride Wimp. And apparently, as I have found out since sharing my guilty little secret, there are more than a few of us out there…..TONS as a matter of fact. 🙂 Who knew?
But it’s not like I am *no* fun at all at Disney World. I may be a Ride Wimp, but I can get some thrills at Disney World too. Because really, just because one is a Ride Wimp, doesn’t mean that we can’t have some excitement too: we’re not all slow, boring, “Wow-its-a-small-world-rocks” kind of people! Read more
