Yesterday, I was thinking about how I should probably order my ticket for my day at Epcot in December soon, as ticket prices will most likely go up soon.

1. My MVMCP ticket arrived. Thank goodness for Disney Visa points, because that was not cheap. 2. I am having an internal struggle about decorating my cabin door. I was all pumped about it (I’m thinking about going with a Santa Minnie theme for my door and fish extender, as I’ll bring my Santa Minnie [...]

// As I’ve mentioned before, my first Disney Cruise-the Disunplugged Podcast Cruise is coming up in December. As it is for the DISUnplugged, you have to book your cruise through Dreams Unlimited, the DIS’ travel agency. I have no problem with this requirement, and have been very impressed with Tracy at Dreams Unlimited. However, word [...]

// As you may remember, I am taking my first Disney Cruise this December.  The eternally wonderful JetBlue opened their flights through January 4 today, so I book my ticket.  Can I just say how awesome it is that I got roundtrip airfare for $260? Anyway, I’m flying in the Thursday night before my cruise, [...]
