Ask Resourceful Mommy: Disney Edition...

Alyssa from Life from My Laptop recently asked: “How much money should we save before even booking a trip to Disney?” If you are looking just at what the trip costs and not at options such as financing, you might be surprised at how affordable a trip can be! For the sake of discussion*, I’m…

Why Disney

The Disney is in the Details

There are so many aspects of Disney that I found to be utterly breathtaking during our trip last week, but the most impressive aspect of the World, hands down, is the attention to detail. When we arrived at our two bedroom suite in the Villas at Wilderness Lodge, we were greeted by what I learned…

Liveblogging from Disney: Post 1
