I mentioned these vacation packages briefly in my recent “Which Dining Plan Is Right For You?” article, and they are definitely worth exploring some more, especially if you are considering booking a WDW vacation to celebrate something special like a honeymoon or an anniversary – or if you just want to

Dressing For Disney – Things To Bring (And Things To Skip!)
There is a LOT of planning that goes into a Walt Disney World vacation – and one of the things that’s always on my “Disney to-do” list is to figure out what I’m going to pack – and more specifically what I want to WEAR while I’m at WDW! Weather,

“Disney – Party Of Two!” – Why Disney World Is Perfect For Pairs
Nothing beats a family vacation to Walt Disney World – getting to watch your loved ones experience all that Disney has to offer is truly a magical experience. Sometimes though, it’s nice to travel in a slightly smaller group – in fact a group of two is my preferred way
Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Download The “My Disney Experience” App
Disney is always coming up with new ways to enhance their guests’ experience at the Parks, and one of the more recent enhancements is a smartphone app called “My Disney Experience”. Now, there are a LOT of Disney apps out there, but this one is officially released by the Walt

Relax, Meditate, and Smell the Roses at Walt Disney World
You can take a safari ride on the wild side across an African savanna, battle space aliens with a laser gun, “hang glide” over Yosemite National Park and narrowly escape Darth Vader’s wrath — all during action-packed visits to Walt Disney World theme parks. And if you need a place
Could the Disney Vacation Club be Right for Your Family?
You see the signs everywhere when you visit Walt Disney World: on busses, in the hotels, even at the parks: “Have you heard about Disney’s best kept secret”? That secret, of course, is the Disney Vacation Club, and as Disney continues their plans to expand their timeshare option with the construction of more DVC properties….well, I don’t know that it is much of a *secret* any more.
Top Disney Vacation Gifts to Make the Trip Easier
Wondering what to give a friend or family member who is planning a big vacation to Disney World (or anywhere else for that matter)? Or perhaps it is you taking the big trip and people need gift ideas for you? Either way, Christmas gifts are the perfect way to help make future traveling a bit easier, less stressful, and just more fun. Here are few of my favorite travel essentials that will make great gifts for anyone:
Affordable Disney Vacations: How Disney’s Magical Express Gets You Home Again
In my last article, I discussed using Disney’s Magical Express service to get you…and your luggage….from Orlando International airport to your Disney World resort hotel. This free transportation service is, in my opinion, one of the best perks of staying at on Disney property if you are flying. Convenient, hassle-free, and did I mention that it’s FREE? For anyone trying to plan an affordable Disney vacation, free is a great thing. So how does the service work in the opposite direction?
Affordable Disney Vacations: Saving Time AND Money with Disney’s Magical Express
Many people travel to Walt Disney World by flying. For some, there is no other realistic way to get there. Others, who could drive, often choose to fly anyway. My family is in the second group: while I personally don’t mind driving, my family feels otherwise. So we typically fly these days. But the challenge here, if you are trying to have a Disney vacation that is as affordable as possible, is that airfare is way expensive. So unfortunately, a major portion of any Disney vacation budget ends up being spent on transportation.
Surprise! New Experiences on our Disney World Vacation
We have returned from a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World over the New Year’s holiday. We had a great time ringing in 2011 at the best possible place! Was it crowded? At times, sure it was, but having gone at this week before, we knew what to expect. There were also times when it wasn’t crowded at all too! And one of the neat things about this trip was that, despite our many past Disney trips, we were still able to learn and experience new things. That is, of course, one of the great things about Disney parks: the ability for guests to feel that each trip is magical, no matter how often you go.
Plan Now for Magical Disney Dining in December
While summer is in full swing here in the US, if you will be visiting Disney World over the Christmas holidays, I have an important question for you? What are your dining plans? Have you made those Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) yet?
To ADR or not ADR, That is the Question
I completely understand why someone who is not Disney-obsessed would think it odd to be planning where our family was going to be eating on a vacation that would not be happening for over 6 months. But it got me to thinking too, that even among those who do visit Disney World regularly the question of whether to book Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) is a common discussion.
