And Now It’s Time To Say Goodbye — To The Iconic Sorcerer’s Hat
By now, it’s old news. Three days old, that is. But Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios will be dismantling the iconic Sorcerer’s Hat in early 2015. And three days later members of our family are both mourning and celebrating the loss. The 122 foot hat appeared in 2001 as a “temporary” fixture to celebrate Walt Disney’s 100th birthday with their “100 Years of Magic” celebration. And there are other rumors to suggest it was installed to block the prominent view of the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard when the real Chinese Theater in California changed ownership. Apparently, the new owners wanted a royalty Continue reading And Now It’s Time To Say Goodbye — To The Iconic Sorcerer’s Hat

The Best Sit-Down Dining At Walt Disney World
Everyone has their favorite. No family likes the exact same thing. Which can make eating out difficult anywhere. Knowing this, Disney World does a pretty good job of appealing to all ages and tastes. Which restaurants truly hit the mark? Read on! Magic Kingdom It used to be that Magic Kingdom had slim pickings when it came to sit-down dining. Not anymore. The Best: A tie between the wholesome, like-mom-would-make American goodness of Liberty Tree Tavern and French inspired cuisine of Be Our Guest. The service at Liberty Tree Tavern is amazing. If you choose Be Our Guest, make sure Continue reading The Best Sit-Down Dining At Walt Disney World

Top 11 Things To See And Do At Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
11. Be On Time To See The Opening Show – I always recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the park opens so that you can get the most done on any given day. But the park’s welcome show is a must-see event, putting you into the spirit of the magic ahead. 10. Enjoy A Parade – With up to 5 parades a day, you’re sure to be around for at least one. This is a great time to stop and smell the roses. People watch, take a breather or join in and sing along. 9. Ride It’s A Small World – My family tolerates it with Continue reading Top 11 Things To See And Do At Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

The Ultimate One Day Plan For Disney’s Hollywood Studios
With a little planning, Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be done in a day. Follow the plan below and you’re off for a star-studded experience! As I recommend with any one-day plan, arrive early! Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the park officially opens. When you’re among the first to arrive you’ll be able to accomplish so much before the crowds really pour in! Once you enter the park, by-pass all of the shops. There will be plenty of time for shopping mid-day, when you need some downtime, or on your way out of the park. Have an idea Continue reading The Ultimate One Day Plan For Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Should You Go To Disney World During The Christmas Season? Abso-Mickey-Lutely!
It’s not too late! There are still rooms available during the Christmas Holiday Season (early November – first week of January) at Walt Disney World. Should you go? Yes! Abso-Mickey-lutely! Without a doubt, the holiday season is my favorite time at the World. The Christmas decorations are up. The weather is dryer. And the crowds can be at a minimum. My birthday happens to fall in the first week of December, so for my 40th my husband suggested we go. We had been at various other times of the year, but never for my birthday. We were homeschooling our daughter, Continue reading Should You Go To Disney World During The Christmas Season? Abso-Mickey-Lutely!

Staying Healthy During Your Walt Disney World Vacation
First, I am not a doctor. I just play one when my kids are sick. (And not very well, according to them – but that’s for another post.) So, take any of this advice with a grain of salt. Okay. With a few grains of salt, because my husband and close family members are in the health care industry and I’ve been to Disney World in and under all kinds of weather. If you’re like me, the anticipation of arriving at such a magical place can wreck havoc on your regular routine. When your routine is wrecked, your immune system can follow.

A Dozen Ways To Do Disney World On A Budget
For some, Disney World is a once in a lifetime trip. For others, (like me) a regular trip to Walt Disney World is as much a necessity as eating, drinking and breathing. But how can people afford to go on a regular basis? Or at all, with a limited budget? 1. Store promotion discounts – We signed up for a Target Debit card. We get 5% discount on all of our purchases, and that includes Disney gift cards. It all comes directly out of our checking account, just like a regular debit card. Other chain grocery and warehouse stores will Continue reading A Dozen Ways To Do Disney World On A Budget
