Disney Fun From Around the World: Week of June 13, 2011

Happy Father’s Day to all the Disney Dads! Hope you have a truly magical day! Now, from The Affordable Mouse to you, here is our weekly round-up of favorite Disney blog posts to add to your special day.

While there is so much helpful information on Chip and Co. these 3 posts caught my eye this week. First, “our” Brenda’s weekly Wednesday with Walt series is always a favorite of mine. This week’s edition, What’s My Line? is a great one! And for those of you planning trips this fall, you will want to see these 2011 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Details…they sound delicious as always! Lastly, this “news?” may or may not make you sad: Disney Confidential: Wishes will be ending soon

I always enjoy Disney Dispatch for the fun, and informative articles. This week they share some excellent tips on Magic Kingdom Park Touring

Ok, ok, not very Father’s Day-like, but I couldn’t resist….for the little girls in your life, Disney Every Day shares a Pink Minnie Mouse Themed Birthday Party Dessert Table

“Our” Kelly always has a great Money-Saver Monday post on her blog, Disney Guru and this week she talks about a super affordable souvenir idea: Fill a Cup Souvenirs

We had an interesting discussion on our Facebook page this week about this very topic that Disney World Basics talks about: Morning Extra Magic Hour vs. evening Extra Magic Hour

Jodi at Magical Mouse Schoolhouse has been running a series that I am finding truly fascinating. It’s all about what you can learn at Epcot World Showcase This week, we visit the Italy Pavilion

For those of you who have a visit planned during “peak” times, you won’t want to miss this from Your Highway in the Sky: 3 Things to Know About Rope Drop

Last, but definitely not least, “our” Kelly (again!) had another awesome article for WDW Fan Zone in which she discussed an illness that many of us have. Don’t miss My Disney Diagnosis ….and while she gives me undue credit, I think, for helping her to see her “problem”…I do take full credit for sharing her affliction. 🙂

That’s it for this week! Make sure Dad has a great Father’s Day…and Dads…hope there’s a little Disney in your day!

I got quite the chuckle from this post over on the Disney Driven Life: DISNEY TEN COMMANDMENTS. What Commandments would you add?

Kelly had, as usual, some really helpful and fun articles on her site, Disney Guru. First, she shared tips for Cheap Disney Souvenirs and then offered a couple of fun lists that she has started for future Disney trips: At Disney “I Will” & “I Will” Never

Magical Mouse Schoolhouse continues sharing how Disney can be fun AND educational at the same time in this series about Epcot World Showcase: Norway Pavilion

Looking forward to the next Walt Disney World resort? So are lots of folks. Theme Park Mom provided more details including pictures about Disney’s Art of Animation Resort: New Details

Last, if you have been following the story of The Relocated Tourist you will know that they are now settling in their new home near Walt Disney World! All that planning, and they are now living their dream. How exciting for them! Still, there are mundane details….and Amy shares how her family is Getting our Feet Wet in Orlando.

That’s it for this week everyone! Enjoy the time off and do something fun!
