Thankful for the Many Magical Memories

Nancy Disney Vacation Planning , , , 0 Comment

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States, and as we near the end of 2021 – and after nearly 2 years of a pandemic that is still with us – counting blessings seems even more important than ever. For those of us who have had the chance to experience “Disney magic” at the parks, we know that magic provides us with far more than the chance to meet a Mouse or enjoy a Dole Whip. So, in the spirit of gratitude, I am re-running some thoughts I have shared in the past on why that Disney magic is one of the many things I will always be thankful for. Wishing you a a wonderful, safe, and magical Thanksgiving!

Disney with Special Needs: Holidays at Disney Prep – Part Three

So when do you start packing for your Disney vacation? Not five months out? Oh. Well, that’s where we differ. I kind of don’t ever unpack from Disney. Not that I have suitcases shoved full of dirty vacation clothes that I just toss into the back of the car when we leave. We bring along laundry detergent and wash clothes before heading home and there are a few items that we don’t take out of our suitcases because they are for-Disney-only. Leaving them in the car makes me feel like I’m never too far away from another trip. Of course when it’s a special trip, like one over THE HOLIDAYS, even the real packing has to get a boost and start early. I haven’t gone full-on roll-the-underwear-and-tuck-the-socks yet, but I’ve been adding to my Disney stash and I wanted to give you a glimpse of the extra things I’m planning to bring along with me for this trip.

Summer is looming outside and while everyone else is prancing around thinking about the beach, shorts, and splashing around in the pool, my mind is firmly stuck at the end of fall. Like I might have turned up the air conditioning, burned a caramel candle, and eaten a sweet potato the other day. It is only 5 months until I check in to Disney for Thanksgiving and there is still so much planning to do. So. Much. Planning. Read more

You may recall that last year my family traveled to Disney World for the single greatest day on the calendar…Halloween. While that was the most amazing trip ever, this year we decided to change things up a little bit and travel “home” for Thanksgiving. Read more

Happy Thanksgiving From The Affordable Mouse

Brenda Disney Community, Disney Vacation Planning, My Favorite Disney Things , 0 Comment

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from all of us here at The Affordable Mouse. We wish you and your family every good blessing and we are so very thankful to have you join us today!

I personally have so much to be thankful for this year. I have been blessed in many ways, paramount among them is the birth of my first grandchild (or grandprincess as I like to call her), Aleyah, who at 4 weeks old has already brought more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined. I cannot wait to take her on her first trip to Walt Disney World and Nancy and I have a friendly bet on how long I will be able to hold out. Read more
