Several years back my trip to Walt Disney World from where I lived then took roughly 13 hours. I learned quite a bit on those trips on how to arrive ready to go. There were ups and downs, along with some wonderful memories along the way. Read more
First an update on our 14 day Disney trip in September…
Close, yet so far away…..that’s how we feel about the countdown to our Disney World vacation!! It’s all we can do to keep from pulling the suitcases out and start packing! We HAVE made our “things to pack” list…and have checked it twice…okay…more like 50 times…and we’ve bought a few things here and there for the trip just to make ourselves feel better about the wait! Just knowing there is a little pile of “trip stuff” in the guest bedroom makes the waiting easier to bear! We go over our itinerary at LEAST once a week…tweaking it here and there…and sometimes changing it back to the way we originally had it…LOL..but this makes us feel like we are doing SOMETHING Disney related on a regular basis…to help us get by until we head out to our favorite destination…Disney World!!

Once you decide the time of year to visit Walt Disney World, your next step is planning what to pack. My first and foremost important thing is shoes. You will be spending countless hours on your feet and walking several miles a day. Make sure your shoes are comfortable! Better yet, make sure you have 2 pairs that are comfortable. Switching back and forth will give your shoes time to air out and your feet a break. Most people chose tennis shoes as their primary pair, with maybe walking sandals as your back up. Crocs are also popular, but don’t use your trip to wear them for the first time! Both pairs of shoes should be some that are relatively new, but also broke in. Read more
There’s something about walking around the World Showcase Lagoon that just MAKES a Disney trip. It’s such a nice, relaxing way to spend an evening.
Even better? When you can add some super fun live music to the equation. Read more
A couple of weeks ago, something really awesome happened: I received an e-mail from Disney, alerting me that fans of Downtown Disney on Facebook would have access to super low rates for only 72 hours:
While I couldn’t take advantage of any of these deals, they were pretty great, and I was thrilled that I was able to access them simply by clicking “like” on the Downtown Disney Area Hotels Facebook page. Easy as click and save! Read more
