12113407_10153226739961234_3741321183463629271_oWhen choosing a favorite time of year to visit Walt Disney World, one event to consider is the Food & Wine Festival that runs from late September to mid November.

Thrifty Thursday: The Bead Outpost in Epcot

One of my favorite discoveries in Epcot a number of years ago was a small kiosk near the Outpost that sold some very unique jewelry. The jewelry was beautiful……..and extremely affordable.
