Simple Disney World Thoughts

Guest Disney Vacation Planning, My Favorite Disney Things, What to Do at Disney World , , , 3 Comments

As an avid Walt Disney World fan and frequent visitor I am always thinking about everything Disney World!!  While I was doing a little Disney research a while back I stumbled upon some questions in a forum and they made me think . On a daily basis I am seeing hundreds of opinions from various Disney fans on every topic under the sun; restaurant thoughts, best snack options, best ride for x age, what time to hit what ride and so on and so forth.  One thing that I notice is that we all look at Walt Disney World through very different eyes and what one may think is simply splendid, another may think is not so great!  This very reason is why I believe that there is truly something for everyone at Walt Disney World!

So here are some Disney thoughts for you….

We are focusing on our favorite things here at The Affordable Mouse. While I really do love everything at Walt Disney World there are those things that I could not do without on any trip to Disney. You know…those things that even though how small they are you simply need to see, smell, touch or ride them in order to feel fulfilled at Disney.

Sit back relax and grab an ice cold beverage as I share my very favorite things about Walt Disney World. Oh yeah, after you read my favorite things…I would love to know some of your favorite things too. 🙂 Read more

I decided to start a new series this week called “My Favorite Disney Things”, where I, or one of our other wonderful writers, shares a special thing we just LOVE at Walt Disney World. It may be anything: an attraction, a souvenir, a snack or restaurant…there is so much to love at Disney World, so we figure this series could go on for years! And of course, we are The Affordable Mouse, so our emphasis is going to be on things that don’t cost much, if anything, so that should make it even more fun! 🙂

So today’s inaugural edition is featuring a true favorite of mine: The Magic of Disney Animation, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Voyage of the Little Mermaid

One of my favorite attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. We used to enjoy this show as a family but now my macho big boys have outgrown it for more thrills. So, it has evolved into one of the special mother-daughter activities that Kristen and I share at the parks. This indoor show is Disney at its best!

This 17-minute show is presented every 20 minutes beginning at 9:45am. Located in Animation Courtyard, which is typically a high-traffic area, the crowds start to develop after the first or second showing. So, try to see the show before lunch as the crowds get bigger as the day goes on. VOLM does have Fast Pass service, but you will notice that, unlike most FP attractions that have 1-hour windows, the Voyage of the Little Mermaid has a 10 minute return window. Be sure to look at your FP ticket closely so you will not miss your return time. Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Become Part of the Show at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor

One of my favorite things to do at the Magic Kingdom is the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club. Located in Tomorrowland, this is an audience-participation attraction and it is a lot of fun. It is a kid-focused comedy show but I am always one of the kids involved in the action. I don’t know if I have tattoo on my forehead that says “Pick Me” or what, but every time we go they put that camera on me. It is all in fun so I don’t mind so much but I am always surprised and a little embarrassed when I realize they’ve done it again.

When you enter the lobby of the theater, there are televisions on the walls. One of the opportunities to get into the act is to text your best joke to a certain number they post on the screen. If they use your joke, your name and state will be announced during the show. Once you get nearer to the auditorium doors, Roz is your hostess for some instructions and to embarrass Mike Wazowski.
