No trip to Walt Disney World would be complete (at least not for my kids) without a trip to Disney Springs and more specifically, a trip to The LEGO Store. The store is located in the Marketplace near the massive, can’t-miss World of Disney Store. Sure, we have The LEGO Store in our local mall in Indianapolis, so what’s so special about The LEGO Store at Disney Springs? Everything! Read more
I can’t say enough wonderful things about how Disney (and Nancy right here at the Affordable Mouse) went above and beyond last September when we had to reschedule our trip due to Hurricane Irma. We were scheduled to land at MCO the same day Hurricane Irma decided to make landfall. Read more
While navigating this path of planning our next family vacation at Walt Disney World, we’ve run into a bridge and I’m afraid it’s time to cross it. We’ve gone in the past with kids every age from 2 to 5 but this time around, the boys will be 6 and 7 years old. We no long own or use strollers and something inside of me is saying “don’t go back there.” How old is too old for a stroller? If we used one at this point, it would be a rental. Shouldn’t we just condition them to be able to make it through a week at the World without strollers? Read more
With the first snowfall coming down in central Indiana as I type, I have never been more ready for a trip to Walt Disney World. This time around, we added the Water Park Fun and More option to our Park Hoppers. We will be visiting in September and I know from experience it will still be blazing hot down in Lake Buena Vista that time of year. What better time to try out the 2 Disney water parks on WDW property, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach? I’ve never been and neither have my little boys, who will be 6 and 7 by then. So, what do the water parks have to offer our family? Today I’m sharing with you what I’ve learned so far about Typhoon Lagoon.
Some people love a road trip and look forward to finding joy in the adventure of the journey. Friends, I am not one of those people. When I am driving, I’ve got the pedal to the metal, my eye on the prize, and don’t even think about asking me to stop unless it’s a dire emergency. I want to make good time and traffic jams make me crazy and anxious. I just want to get it over with. I have always enjoyed flying and marvel at our modern ability to travel such a great distance in such a short time. Well…airfare for our fall trip down to Florida (a Royal Caribbean cruise this time, booked through our friend Nancy here at The Affordable Mouse) was out of control. As much as I like flying, I like saving money more so we made the painful decision to drive down to Port Canaveral.
