By Teresa Pitman Last December, I had the opportunity to interview some of the Disney Cast Members involved in animal care for a magazine article.

By Carol Garcia Over the past few months, Disney fans have been teased with the “Are you 23?” question. There was much speculation about what this meant and much anticipation over the announcement scheduled for March 10. Now that the announcement date has come and gone, we have a look at this new offering from…

By Jane Jones Here’s the sitch: Disney has finally created an experience based on the wildly popular Kim Possible Disney Channel show. Oooh yeahh yeah, I’m your basic average girl, and I’m here to save the world, you can’t stop me ‘cuz I’m Kim-Poss-ible! “Call Me, Beep Me” (the Kim Possible theme song) was the theme of…

By Carol Garcia In planning Magically Speaking‘s fourth birthday celebration, we looked to find a way to tie our birthday in with Disney. Since we’re turning four years old, we are focusing on traveling to the four theme parks of Walt Disney World with a four-year-old (or any young child). Disney World is perhaps one…

By Erica Colmenares In honor of TheMouseForLess.com’s tenth anniversary, we’re trip-planning by tens. Here’s a quick run-down of ten things we recommend doing ten months out from your Walt Disney World vacation, as well as ten weeks, ten days, and ten hours. The lists aren’t exhaustive, but they’re a good start! Ten Months Out Start…

By Kate Abbott Some said we were crazy; some said it would be pointless; some declared it would all end in tears. To all of them I say: It’s worth it to see baby’s first pair of mouse ears with his name scrolled across the back! Yes, the trip would have been worth it, even…

By Erica Colmenares If you’ve ever taken an adult-only trip to Disney World, you’ll know the heaven that is planning to do all those offerings that aren’t child-friendly (or at least not fun for yourchild). I had the pleasure of one such trip at the beginning of February, and took advantage of the opportunity to experience the…

By Kate Abbott My first and only previous stay at the Disneyland Hotel was when I was in high school, and the hotel dazzled me — it was the largest hotel I’d ever stayed in (the hotel currently has 990 rooms in its three towers) and featured waterfalls, koi fish to feed, and even remote-controlled…

By Carol Garcia As a volunteer for several local organizations, I find myself with many meetings in the evening. On one such evening, I was met with a two-page agenda. After slowly realizing my parting words to my family of “this should only take an hour” were not going to come true, I began perusing…

By Jane Jones I had a dual purpose in this Magically Speaking assignment: While I wanted to see what this “free birthday” thing was all about, I also wanted to investigate celebrating a “senior” birthday at Walt Disney World. We talk a lot about what to do with kids, but what about seniors? I had…

By Erica Colmenares People make the decision to drive to Disney for all sorts of reasons. For the lucky ones, it’s because it takes less time to drive than it would to fly.
