Happy Weekend Disney Friends! Tomorrow is the first of May and probably my favorite 
month of the year…warm, not hot (at least not usually here in Maryland 🙂 ), less rain (I hope!!!), and everything is green and in bloom. It is a lovely time of year and you can’t help but smile. Speaking of smiling….here are some of my favorite Disney blog posts from the past week that all brought a smile to my face…and I hope they do to you as well! Enjoy!

Happy Friday, Disney-lovin’ friends! One thing that is on my mind when planning a Disney trip is which park I’ll be in which day. So, I check out the calendar for school, flight schedules, and, of course, the Disney Parks calendars.
Since I booked over six months out, I had to wait (and wait, and wait) for the events calendar to come out on the Disney site. I’m not a big fan of waiting for information I want it NOW, so I checked out historic crowd levels for certain days (all of them were low, due to the time of year we’re going), as well as expected dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party, which we are so excited about! The dates for that still haven’t been officially announced, but that is a separate ticketed event, and we can get in even if we end up in a different park that day. Whew! Read more
