When planning a trip to Disney World, there are several add-on options to the basic Magic Your Way pass.  One of those choices is the Park Hopper option.  Is this selection worth the additional expense?  There are several items to consider. Having Park Hopper tickets allows one to go in and out of any of the…

When my family was planning our first trip to WDW, our boys were 2- and 4-years-old. I read several travel books to help me prepare myself and my children for our trip. I was struck by one commonality in all the books I read. They all stressed the importance of preparing your children for Disney…

It does not take long after arriving at Disney World to be drawn to the many souvenirs available for purchase.  From mugs to t-shirts to collectible pins, the temptation to buy is overwhelming.  As a Disney fanatic, I am drawn to all of the themed items representing one of my favorite places.  My three sons…

If you are perusing blogs about WDW, it is likely that you are the trip planner in your family or group.  As trip planner, you are the person that everyone will look to while on vacation and say, “What are we going to do today?”  Unfortunately, you are also the person that everyone will glare…

Our family has taken six trips to Disney World in just over seven years, with another one planned for later this fall. Obviously, we love visiting Mickey’s home! What stands out for us are the numerous “Magical Moments” that have befallen on us during our vacations. Ask our friends, and they will tell you we…

A-Z left off with The Tree of Life and starts up again under the ground…   Underground Habitat of Mole Rats This may seem like a weird one to like.  When walking through the Pangani Forest you will come to a hut.  Upon entering you will notice a glass observation area.  It is not brightly…

Someone recently started a thread on the MouseForLess Yahoo group about Pin Trading at Disney World and it got me thinking about buying some pins for my upcoming trip in June.  I always see questions popping up wondering when children are old enough to trade and who or where to actually trade the pins with. …

Our A-Z Journey left us exploring the flora and fauna of the Maharajah Jungle Trek. This time we start out under the sea for letter N:   (Finding) Nemo: The Musical A fishy musical at the end of Dinoland, USA seems a little off but once you’re there, Dory will be the only one who’s…

Do you have an upcoming trip to the World? If you are staying at one of Disney’s exceptional resorts, be prepared to see numerous resort refillable drink mugs when you arrive. They will be in the hands of most guests and are available to purchase for less than $15 a piece at each resort’s food…

I left off with my A-Z look at Animal Kingdom with a stop at the Gorilla Research Camp. This time we’ll swoop into letter H:   Hanging with the Giant Fruit Bats I don’t really care for bats. I’m not afraid of them (unless one gets in my house), but I just don’t find them…

I don’t know about you, but I know that I cannot get to Walt Disney World as often as I would like.  Typically, it is about three years between trips.  As a flat-out, self-described Disney fanatic, three years is just too long to wait to experience the magic! I soon discovered that I was not…
