By Carol Garcia With the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios is banking on the fact that there are many like me who will come to their parks and hotels just for that reason. Just to avoid confusion, let me start of by saying that, yes, I do know that The…

Make a Character Connection
There are meet and greets in every park. And each park has at least one place where you can see multiple characters. You’ve got The Toontown Hall of Fame (at least for a little while longer) in the Magic Kingdom, Camp Minnie-Mickey at Animal Kingdom, and the Animation Building in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and lastly you’ve got the Epcot Character Spot. My favorite of the above…
What Are You Celebrating? or How I Finally Got My Husband to Wear Ears
My husband, Jim, and I choose to go to Disney World every year at the beginning of July to celebrate our anniversary there. My husband is my favorite person and that is my favorite place. It only makes sense. It also makes sense that I put our anniversary on our reservation at table service meals….
Summer Nightastic Trip Report – Day 1
I normally celebrate my birthday at Disney each summer, but this year we had some family obligations that were going to make it impossible. When Chris and I heard about the Summer Nightastic changes, we decided that we had to make a trip, even if it meant going commando – which is something that we…
An Evening at Victoria & Albert’s
I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary at Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. My wife and I dined along side Pam Forrester, co-owner of The Magic For Less Travel, and her husband who were also celebrating their 20th anniversary. Having dined multiple times at most Disney dining venues over hundreds…
Finding Something New After All These Years…
One of my favorite things about Disney is that you’ve never seemed to explore everything there is to explore. For me, this summer’s yearly 4th of July trip offered a lot of surprises but one of the best was miniature golf. We’ve mini-golfed in Orlando but not the Disney courses and what a treat! We…
DHS Counter-Service Survey
We asked the travel agents at The Magic for Less Travel for their opinions on the counter service eateries at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We also asked them to share their favorite menu items at any of the DHS counter service locations. Here’s what we learned. The pick for best counter service location was Starring Rolls…
A Very Merry UnBirthday To You All!
Our entire family was blessed with holiday birthdays. My 11 year old son has a New Year’s Eve birthday. My 10 year old daughter was born July 3. My seven year old son was born about a week later and my four year old daughter has a President’s Day birthday. Even my husband and I…
A Princess in Preparation, Part 2
I have hit a roadblock already and surprisingly is has nothing to do with the running part. I haven’t even managed to register for the Disney Princess Half marathon and right away I have learned that when trying to organize a group of people who have vastly different schedules, income levels, and abilities to leave their…
A Princess in Preparation
I have never been a runner nor much of an athlete, but when I read about the Disney Princess Half Marathon a few months ago, something deep inside of me perked up. All of a sudden I had full color visions of myself sprinting though Cinderella’s castle, jogging past the TTC, and pushing my tired…
Photos around the Contemporary Resort
I had the privilege to stay at the Contemporary Resort with a wonderful view of the Magic Kingdom last December thanks to the perseverance of our Magic for Less travel agent. What a wonderful place to stay, especially, with the walking path to the Magic Kingdom! From our balcony, we were able to see the…
Summer Nightastic!
By Kristi Letsinger We just returned from a very busy two week trip to Walt Disney World. Originally, the plan was for a short trip, but with the announcement that the Main Street Electrical Parade and the new Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Spectacular would begin on June 6, we decided to extend our trip. We are…
