Terrific Tuesdays: How a Ride Wimp Soars to Disney Thrills

Nancy Disney Vacation Planning, Disney Vacation Tips, My Favorite Disney Things, What to Do at Disney World , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

I have shared in the past that I am a certifiable Ride Wimp. And apparently, as I have found out since sharing my guilty little secret, there are more than a few of us out there…..TONS as a matter of fact. 🙂  Who knew?

But it’s not like I am *no* fun at all at Disney World. I may be a Ride Wimp, but I can get some thrills at Disney World too. Because really, just because one is a Ride Wimp, doesn’t mean that we can’t have some excitement too: we’re not all slow, boring, “Wow-its-a-small-world-rocks” kind of people! Read more

A trip to Walt Disney World can be expensive…very expensive. Depending on the length of your stay, you can save some cash by spending a day (or more) taking advantage of the activities outside of the parks. In no particular order… Read more

Almost no one ever ever ever looks good at Disney.

Pull on some jean shorts. A Mickey tee-shirt. Some very comfy shoes. And don’t forget the heat-defying ponytail. And don’t even think about anything more than a light moisturizer unless you want your face to melt off before lunch. 

But it is still possible to give your look some extra Disney piazza … totally FREE of charge! Here are just a few places and ways you can plus your Disney look on the cheap:

Thrifty Thursday: Like to Save Time at Disney World? All Aboard!

As a lover of all things thrifty when it comes to Disney, I always include being thrifty with time.  When we visit Disney World, we want to fill our days with as much magic as possible.  Of course, one can never do ALL that Disney has to offer in one trip, but that doesn’t stop most of us from trying.

One way I love to save time in Magic Kingdom, not to mention the footsies in my family, is by using the train, the Walt Disney World Railroad.  There are many reasons to ride this scenic attraction.  First, if you aren’t familiar with MK, it’s a great way to orient your self and figure out the lands and the layout.  Second, it really is a pretty ride with great views of the castle, some green, and attractions.  Third and thriftiest of all reasons, it saves time getting from one part of the park to another.

Cast Member’s Corner: Goofy Guests and Magical Memories

Working at Walt Disney World I got to see a lot of things both behind the scenes and out among the guests.  Being a guest at Walt Disney World you can also see most of these things as well, which makes visiting the parks both fun and entertaining.  Disney provides a lot of visual stimulation in it’s architecture and decoration but sometimes that’s not even the best part.  Sometimes the guests themselves provide the entertainment while other times, it is those who come with them who are creating the fun.
