March 22, 2018 By: Lynn Wcomment

There’s nothing like hugging the head mouse himself or getting to meet your favorite princess in real life.  But lots of folks are a little nervous about meeting a Disney character if they haven’t before.  There’s nothing to fear.  I’m going to share just what you can expect during your time together.

There are almost as many different ways to collect character autographs as there are actual characters you can meet during your Disney vacation.  Below are some character autograph collection ideas that we’ve personally done as well as some new ones we haven’t tried yet.  Be sure to have a large pen to use while collecting […]

Disney Fun and Free: Animation Academy

April 8, 2014 By: Lynn W2 Comments

Edited to add:  I’ve linked up with the Magical Blogorail’s Riding the Rails Blog Hop.

Disney: EPCOT’s Character Spot

October 8, 2013 By: Lynn Wcomment

Traveling to Disney will pretty much guarantee that you see a character or two while you’re there.  If you don’t have a plan, a lot of your time can be spent waiting in line to see those sweet characters.  Gathering autographs and getting a picture with your favorite can be quite tempting but standing in […]

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Things I Love to Do at Disney

July 19, 2011 By: Lynn W7 Comments

With Oh Amanda I’m a Disney lover and every time I’m at the park I try to do the following things: 1.  Rope Drop. Yes I know it’s early to most but 9:00 is mid-morning at our house (my kids are usually up by 5:30 – 6:00 at the latest) so it’s a no brainer […]
