By Erica Colmenares Blogging is where it’s at these days. Even my son has a blog (topic: video games; surprised?). My preference runs more towards Disney blogs (again, surprised?). I especially enjoy the guest blogs from members at TheMouseForLess.com. These blog entries are not the direct scoop from the Mouse himself. Rather, they are what…
Why Club Cool May Be My Favorite Attraction at Epcot
If my husband and I are spending more than four days in Orlando I always have to get to Epcot twice (at least.) Yes, I love Le Cellier but I feel blessed to get one reservation, forget about two. No, that’s not it. I may go Soarin’ twice, but only if my husband is up…
Window Clings, Garland, and The Fab Five- Decorating My Pop Window for the Fourth of July
I stumbled upon it one day as I searched for information about our upcoming Disney trip. The minute I saw it I knew it would be an obsession that my husband would not understand. It would be the perfect thing to soak up the little free time I had between that moment and the time…
Dinner for 12, please…
When you hear “Grand Gathering” what comes to mind? I know that Disney wants you to have a fairy tale image of happiness and laughing and everyone getting along. Young and old and in between, everyone is thrilled to be together, sharing in the magic of the “happiest place on Earth!” (Right. Have you ever…
The Great Movies of the Great Movie Ride!
I’m moving in. ; ) I think we all want look for ways to carry the magic of our Disney trips over into our every day lives at home, or to find a way to get ourselves excited for an upcoming trip. I like to research and learn more about the history of Disney as…
Disney Cruise Line Towel Animals
When you return to your stateroom at the end of the day on a Disney Cruise, you will always find a little surprise waitinig to greet you!
Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
One of the largest deciding factors in our family’s resort selection for our Disney trips boils down to location. As my children have grown into the teenage and young adult years, we’ve found the Epcot resort area to be our all time favorite area to stay at the Walt Disney World Resort. We especially enjoy…
A Princess in Preparation
As I was trotting away this morning on the treadmill I had a bit of what you might call a revelation. Normally I tend to think of a revelation as a positive thought, but not so today. What was this revelation? Well, it was something like this… “What in the world am I doing???” I…
Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel
If you are planning a trip to Disneyland and are looking to stay right in the magic by choosing one of the three Disney Hotels, one of your options will be Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel. This hotel is on the corner of Disney Way and Disneyland Drive. It is situated next door to the Disneyland…
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas – A Pictorial Tour
I recently had the opportunity to stay in a 1 Bedroom Villa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas. We were fortunate to have our 1 Bedroom Villa housed at Kidani Village where an additional full bathroom is offered. Our Villa had a full kitchen, living and dining room, private laundry, the hall bath, a large master bedroom with…
Samawati Springs
The pool at Kidani Village, while in my opinion is in awkward place (you have to cross either the circle drop off area by the main entrance, or go down into the parking garage and cross through there) was a pleasant surprise, as the one at Jambo house has never overly impressed me. There is…
Pixie Dust Between Trips – 09/23/2010
By Kristi Letsinger I often find myself longing for the sights and sounds of Disney. It doesn’t seem to matter if we have just returned from a trip or are getting ready to leave for one, there are days that I just need some instant “magic,” if only for a little while. My children seem…
