Thrifty Thursday: Your Best, Free Souvenir

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

Wishes from the Poly Beach
Wishes from the Poly Beach (via Mouse on the Mind)

Everyone wants tickets to the Wishes Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace. What could be better? Awesome desserts, a great view and Tinkerbell flies right over your seat.

It’s kind of magical. But, at $20-30 for an adult ticket, it’s also kind of expensive. 

Enter one very magical solution: The Polynesian Beach! Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Disney at Home

Ohana Chicken Wings (Mouse on the Mind)

Your car needs a new motor. Your husband lost his job. The IRS has slapped you with a giant fine. Life costs money. Sometimes more than you have. And at that point, a flight to Orlando (not to mention on-site lodging and daily Park tickets) simply isn’t an option.
