Dos and Don’ts of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) has surprisingly been around since 1983.  Party dates begin in early November and continue until right before Christmas.  There is nothing to get you more in the Christmas spirit, than Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.  It truly brings my heart (and stomach) joy.  Over the years, we have come up with a great list of Dos and Don’ts.  Continue reading “Dos and Don’ts of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party”

Toy Story Land Weekend

The anticipation for the opening of Toy Story Land was incredibly high.  As many of you read in the post leading up to my last trip, I was beyond excited.  It was definitely one of my most memorable times in Disney World.  There was so much energy and so much excitement in the air.  It was hard to help getting wrapped up in all of it.  We arrived on Thursday late afternoon at Disney’s All-Star Music.  There was a small snafu with our room (yes, even travel agents have snafus).  Disney was Continue reading “Toy Story Land Weekend”

Dos and Don’ts of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (aka MNSSHP) started in 1995 and was originally only held on Halloween night.  The party gradually grew in popularity from year to year and is now offered on select nights August-October at the Magic Kingdom.  It is my children’s favorite event and one we try to attend every year.  If you are on the fence, it is 100% worth it!  Over the years, we have come up with a great list of Dos and Don’ts.

We’re going to TOY STORY LAND: OPENING DAY

I honestly can barely contain my excitement. Ever since Disney made the very first announcement about Toy Story Land, I have been wanting to be there and see it. I felt Disney took FOREVER to finally give us the opening day and I am a planner. I like to book things in advance and know what I am doing. Toy Story Land 1A friend and I were playing the guessing game and had an entire trip planned based on Toy Story Land opening around Memorial Day Weekend (like Pandora did last year). Much to our dismay, when Disney announced the June 30th opening day, we were crushed. I had searched my calendar and tried and tried to make the new day work. I thought it wasn’t going to happen….. But IT DID!! The trip is 100% booked! Continue reading “We’re going to TOY STORY LAND: OPENING DAY”
