Hidden Mickey Monday

Spotted these two in IKEA...not exactly a Hidden Mickey, but still a fun surprise!



 

Disney Wardrobe

We took a day off from schooling to do a little spring cleaning and organizing. In the process of arranging my girls' closets to feature their spring/summer attire, I realized just how many adorable Disney-themed clothes they own. So that inspired me to post some of my favorites--some that they already own, but mostly things that I'd love to buy for them! And while I was at it, I threw a few in for myself! (Since this is theoretical shopping, who cares, right?) Adding these to my wish list now.

 Cute, cute, cute!

 We love Belle!

 And Tink!

 Cool and comfy!

 Don't forget the socks...

 ...or the panties.

 I don't wear scrubs--but I almost wish I did!

 I would totally wear this!

 These look comfortable.

 Love the graffiti look!

 Why do we love villains so much?

Thursday's Tip

I'm trying to plan a trip for our family to New York City to see my cousin in Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella on Broadway. (That's almost a Disney connection, right?) I'm realizing that our entire family can visit Walt Disney World for over a week for less than what it will cost us to spend 3 days in NYC. Ouch! If any of my readers have any great NYC money-saving tips, please hit me with them in the comments.

But I digress...all my trip planning has led to much frustration, as I know very little about the area. While I can plan a trip to WDW in my sleep, with the confidence that I'm getting the best deal available, I feel pretty lost when it comes to NYC. So, here's my tip: don't be afraid to seek professional help. No, I don't mean a therapist (although, I could probably use one of those at this point!). I'm talking about a travel agent or consultant--one that specializes in all things Disney. Most travel agents work on commission, so theoretically they won't cost you anything. And even a consultant who charges a fee (like me) will typically save you more than you pay in fees...and will save you countless hours of hassle and frustration. (I actually guarantee my fees against the client's savings; if I don't save you more off standard Disney rates than my fee, then I don't get paid!)

If you're like me and you love to do the research yourself, then there are tons of resources available to you. But if your head is about to explode from the information overload, seek qualified help. After all, time is money, so you'll likely save some $ and your sanity too!

Hidden Mickey Monday

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! I just told my children that we weren't going to Disney World this year. The looks on their faces were rather pitiful, and they got really quiet. (I was impressed that there was no whining, though!) I didn't make them sweat long before blurting out, "April Fools!" Score one for Mom! (Trust me, with all the many silly jokes I have endured today, they had it coming.)

Here's a Hidden Mickey from the Disney Rewards Visa meet-n-greet at Epcot. Do you have a DRV? If not, you're missing out on a free 5 x 7 photo and private meet-n-greet with Mickey and Pals each time you visit!
