Have you ever wanted to go on some ride but your children didn’t? It happens, it happens everywhere including the happiest place on Earth. Disney is no exception for having rides that children may not want to go on (or unable to go on….think height requirements). Happily, there is a solution to that problem, so that if your little one doesn’t want to go on the ride it doesn’t mean that one of the adults has to miss out anymore. Just do a child swap! Read more

It must be that vague “& More” add-on that throws me for a loop. What all is included in “More”?
Thrifty Thursday: What Are Your Priorities?
While there is a lot to be said for saving money on your Disney vacation, saving time….and making the most of the time you do have…..is also important. As the saying goes “time is money” so doing some planning in advance can go a long way towards making the most of your time when you get to the parks.

Attempting to do everything will only give you a tired, cranky group of park-goers. To avoid an overload, I like to prioritize attractions for my itinerary.
