    Top 10 Rides That You Won’t Mind Waiting in the Queue

    Disney World Queues: At Disney World, lines tend to be LONG. So long, that when you see a 60-minute wait time for Flight of Passage, you automatically think that that’s a short amount of time. Disney World also has implemented a system called FastPass +. But sometimes, there aren’t any Fastpassaes available for that ride. Never fear! Disney has made (for many of their rides) standing in line just as fun as riding the attraction! Okay, maybe not as fun, but you get the point. Here is the list of the top 7 best ones in no particular order. Dumbo– Magic Kingdom Okay, I am starting with one that might…

    Tips for Going to Disney World on a Budget

And for those that know me, know that I am a cheapo. I like to cut corners and save money wherever I can. Even when it comes to Disney. My husband and I are also really big on budgeting (more so my husband, but that’s a different story), and we live in a one-income household in one of the most expensive places to live in the country. (looking at you CT). So if we want to go to Disney World or Disneyland,…

    Top 7 Ways to Spend a Rest Day at Disney World!

    Rest Day Disney World: Disney World is magical, exciting, happy, fun, wonderful, and so many other positive feelings rolled into one. For many, it’s what people call “Home.” But, Disney World can also be overwhelming, hectic, and a little crazy — especially when you have kids. Taking a break is always something I advise people to do when they are on their Disney vacation. Sometimes that is very hard to do. We might be thinking, “I spend all of my hard-earned money on this vacation. I am not going to spend it doing nothing.” And believe me, I get it! But I feel that if you don’t take a break in the…

    Mistakes to Avoid When Dining at Disney World

    Hi, my name is Nicole and I LOVE food. I mean it’s almost an addiction. The sight of food, the smells of food, and even the sounds of food make me so happy! I know, I have a problem.

And when it comes to Disney World, these questions are even MORE at the forefront of my mind. I make sure that my meals are planned out in the best possible way. So here are some mistakes to…

    Saratoga Springs- Don’t Leave Your Resort Part 3

    Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort is one of the many hotel options to stay while on your Disney trip. This resort is a DVC resort meaning that all the units have at least a small kitchenette area. More on DVC here. You can also read about how we stayed at this resort on a budget. This resort has a lot to offer. From location to amenities it is a great choice. The grounds are beautiful. This resort is very relaxing. I find this a welcome juxtaposition to the hustle and bustle of the parks. First off the rooms are all villas. The rooms at this resort range from studio villas all…

    Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: A Beginners Guide

    *Updated November 13th, 2022: Unfortunately Disney has discontinued Sorcerers. We will keep this article up in hopes that Disney will bring it back one day!* Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is something that my family has only just recently started to get into. I have heard about it before, but never really looked into it. I honestly thought it was just another thing that Disney wanted us to fork money over to, because a Disney vacation isn’t expensive enough, right? Well, I was very wrong! Turns out, this is a FREE activity. Not only is it free, but it’s actually a lot of fun! My 4-year-old son (and 27-year-old husband) had…
