Refillable Mugs Q&A

The Disney Food Blog is great resource for anyone planning a trip to Walt Disney World...or if you just want to see some great pictures of Disney food!

They recently posted an article about the refillable mugs available at the resorts. Make sure to check it out to get some questions answered!

I have my own large collection of refillable mugs that help remind me of past trips.

Vacation Jar!

How many of us use a regular jar to hold our loose change and small bills as we save for our next Disney vacation?

April, at Take the Monorail, shares a craft project--as she says a Let's Get Crafty--that offers some great ideas to decorate your own savings jar.

My next question is whether April will decorate a Nerdy jar for us?

Disney Vacation Package Savings

Here, at the Minute-By-Minute HQ, we are always thinking about ways of making your vacation better. One way, is to find savings.

Disney has recently released a phenomenal buy 4 get 3 free package for most of the first 6 months of 2009. If you book during a certain period, you can also get a $200.00 Disney gift card.

Clare S at A Pocketful of Pixie Dust shares a lot more of the information on the package. Head over there and take a look!

Mike Scopa Analyzes the Disney Commercials

You've seen those commercials that promise a Walt Disney World vacation for a family of four for $1696.00, right? Well, Mike Scopa, from AllEars and WDW Today, takes a look at the package offered and what it entails.

What Walt Disney World Means by "Magic Your Way."

Mike has a great analysis of the deal and walks us through a lot of the options that are needed. Is it really going to work for you?

Glow Stick Tips!

Ever been harangued by someone in your party to buy the $15.95 light up necklace or flashing princess wand while waiting for Fantasmic! or Wishes?

On our last two trips, we spent some time shopping at the local dollar/value store and bought loads of the glow sticks and glow stick necklaces.

I was delighted when I saw that Mrs. S at A Pocketful of Pixie Dust posted the cheap glow sticks tip on her site.

Make sure to spend some time at her site. She offers lots of great tips.

Guest Services

Richard, at Photos From the Parks, presents a great photo essay on the different Guest Services.

As Richard states:

At the heart of the Disney experience is conducting business the Disney way, where guests always feel their needs have been attended to and have access to cast members with knowledge about a particular topic. In order to provide specific access to CMs with such information, Guest Relations locations are found in each of the parks including Downtown Disney and are easily recognizable in the Disney Guidemaps by the information icon: a lowercase 'i' in a bright blue rectangle. If you're not sure about anything while visiting a park chances are Guest Relations will set you on the right path.

Richard has some great pictures of all the locations. Make sure to check out his site and leave him some Disney Geek love!

The Flower and Garden Soft Reset

Ryan at Main Street Gazette has posted a great article with photos and descriptions of the various areas at Epcot that will help with the Soft Reset. Anyone that has visited Epcot with kids will be able to appreciate a 15 minute play break to recharge the kid's batteries.
