\nDisney and saving money are two things I like to do,
\nSo finding TMFL was a dream come true.
\nI started as a lurker and read every post,
\nTips and ideas this list has the most!
\nSoon out of “lurkdom” I came, I posted,
\nI even went to some meets that were hosted.
\nMade some new friends and saved a ton to boot,
\nNow what to do with all my saved loot?
\nI read on the list about a magical place,
\nWhere “wish” kids could go and have their own space.
\nThey come with their families for the trip of their life,
\nAnd forget about all their sickness and strife,
\nI came at first to learn more about Disney,
\nWhat a bonus to find GKTW–a great charity!
\nSo here’s to the Mouse for Less list on Birthday #8,
\nHope you’re around a lot longer– you truly are GREAT!<\/p>\n
\nThe Mouse For Less, where do I start?
\nIt’s a place that’s become so dear to my heart.
\nTouring and tickets, where do I begin?
\nThere are plenty of members who jump right in
\nTo give their advice and experience too
\nOn how to save money and the many things to do
\nTheir kindness & generosity is second to none
\nOnly MFL members understand a Disney addict’s planning is never done.<\/p>\n
\nMouse for Less, look how you\u2019ve grown
\nThrough hints and help, the Disney way you have shown
\nWe laugh, we learn, we tease, we share
\nWe give to each other to show we care
\nThru our message boards we offer hope
\nTo the newbies and lurkers, we help to cope
\nEight years have just gone by so fast
\nWith friendships and bonds we have built to last.<\/p>\n
\nIf you need help with planning a trip, there is only one place to look
\nDon’t call a friend or open a book
\nJust go to the net and type The Mouseforless
\nDiscounts, Pixie Dust, Secret Pals, and More
\nThere are 11,000 members from all around the world
\nThey share their magical moments and help you create yours
\nSo look no further as this membership definitely has its privileges
\nThis is why I love The Mouse for Less<\/p>\n
\nThe Mouse For Less is really great!
\nI stayed at Fort Wilderness and got a great rate!
\nThe tips and ideas you give bring us happiness and joy,
\nSo we can have a great trip at the Mouse place we enjoy.
\nDisney brings out everyone’s inner child.
\nYou make the hit to the wallet a little more mild.
\nThe Mouse For Less gives you a little piece of Disney to make your heart soar,
\nI hope you continue for 100 years or more!<\/p>\n
\nThere once was a girl from Mass
\nWho knew enough to teach a Disney Class
\nThen she joined The Mouse For Less
\nAnd she learned more than you’d ever guess
\nShe made lots of pals
\nWith really nice guys and gals
\nThe tips and teasing made her smile
\nI think she’ll stay for awhile!<\/p>\n
\nOnce upon a time in a land not so far from here.
\nThere is a yahoo group that can help get you anywhere.
\nFrom California to Paris they have all of the answers.
\nDisney Experts they are.
\nSo sit back and listen.
\nThe advice, secrets, and photos they share will help you get the “The Magic” for less.
\nWhy would anyone do this you might ask, because we are family of course.
\nAnd this is Why I love TheMouseForLess.<\/p>\n
\nWhy I Love the Mouse For Less
\nSo many reasons, I must profess
\nThe savings and coupons to be had,
\nAnd the friends you make aren’t half bad
\nThey run so many contests too
\nIt sure brings out the competitor in you
\nAnd then we must write of our Disney Trips
\nSo everyone can use our hard-earned tips!<\/p>\n
\nOnce upon a dreary night, a light shown in the distance
\nIt was TMFL, helping a weary traveler along the way
\nWith pixie dust, to help them through tough times
\nAnd encouragement for every step of the way
\nWith thousands of friends to share in the good news
\nAnd to offer tips to same money for our fun
\nOh thank you, members one and all
\nYou make our days even more Gr-eight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
