Last weekend I was thrilled to have the chance to be in Walt Disney World. It was a different kind of trip, as I was there with some of the wonderful folks who write for The Affordable Mouse, along with some other great Disney friends. And what a great time we had! It was the opening weekend of the Food and Wine Festival, and the celebration of Epcot’s 30th anniversary. It also gave me the chance to see what’s new with the Fantasyland expansion….and to see what is coming too! 🙂

So today, I thought I would share a few of the photo highlights of my trip! Read more

Disney is a place for celebration, from celebrating being on vacation to holidays.  Disney wants you to celebrate anything and everything, and make it a magical celebration.  I personally love holidays, especially down in Disney.  I’m not just talking about Halloween, Christmas, Fourth of July, or any of those.  I’m talking about birthdays, 1st visits, and family reunions too!  Disney is the perfect place to celebrate these things and the Cast Members love to join in, in your celebration.

The Balance of Disney World “Old” Traditions and New Surprises

Most people who visit Disney parks on a regular basis are used to the question about why they go back again and AGAIN. Of course there are all kinds of reasons why, but I was thinking a bit about this over the past week, and realized that some of the things that bring me back are, in fact opposites: I love the “traditional” things that we are used to and so love doing over and over again…and I also love the “new surprises” that Disney is so very good at offering their guests, in so many ways.
