Tuesday's Terrific Tip--What shoes should I wear?

Tuesday’s Terrific Tip

______________________________

I'm leaving for Disney World® soon, so one of the big things I always think about is...what kind of shoes are going to help me and my feet survive the many miles I'll walk in the Parks® during my vacation?  My current favorite shoe is the Crocs Athens!

This is a picture of the pair of shoes I just received in the mail a few days ago!  They're so squishy!!!  And comfy!  Best of all, they give me the support I want for my feet both during my vacation and for everyday use!  For me, and many others, Crocs are the shoe of choice for a Disney® vacation!

Other shoe choices that are popular--Tevas, Adidas athletic flip-flops (my 2nd choice in great shoes), or a quality pair of tennis shoes (make sure you wear socks, so you don't get blisters!).  Whatever you choose, make sure the shoes are high-quality and comfortable.  Break in new shoes a few weeks before your vacation--new shoes are notorious for causing blisters!  What to do if you DO still end up with a blister?  Try some moleskin (make sure you pack some to take with you!), or if nothing else, a few bandaids.

Is your vacation booked yet?  If it is, it's time to start looking for your "Disney® shoes!"  Good luck!!!

One of the best parts of beginning your Disney® Vacation is walking in your resort room and seeing this that says, "Welcome to Disney World®!"

Tuesday's Terrific Tip--The Best Autograph Pen?



Tuesday’s Terrific Tip

One of my girls' favorite things to do over the years has been to get autographs of all the characters they meet up with, either strolling through the parks, at designated Meet and Greets, or at Character Meals.  We've found that while they sell cool-looking Disney-themed pens near the Autograph Books in all the gift shops, the best pens for getting autographs are black retractible fine-tipped Sharpies.  They're not too expensive to pick up before you leave for your vacation, and they're great because they're retractible!  Some of the characters will even have "fun" with that feature!  BTW, I've read that red ink can permanently stain the characters' costumes, so they often won't use red ink pens or markers, so if you are thinking of trying different colors, keep that in mind.  We like to keep it simple, though, and just stick with the black.

Fun Fact Fridays

_______________________________

If you've been to Disney World ®, you've seen Spaceship Earth, the large geodesic dome that is Epcot's® trademark attraction.  Most people, however, call it "the giant golf ball."  Did you know that if Spaceship Earth were really a golf ball, the golfer would need to be a mile tall to play golf with it?!?  Imagine that!

Tuesday's Terrific Tip--Making Dining Reservations

Tuesday’s Terrific Tip

______________________________

Today's Terrific Tip is to make sure you make your dining reservations for your Disney® vacation 180 days before your arrival date or as soon as you've paid your deposit (if you're less than 180 days from your arrival date)!  Some of Disney's® most popular restaurants, such as Cinderella's Royal Table and Le Cellier have been known to book up 180 days out.  Don't want to get up at 6am and make dining reservations?  No problem!  That's what I'm here for!  Book your vacation through me, and I'll get up and make your reservations for you while you sleep or get ready for work or school!

Can't I just wait and walk up to a restaurant and put my name on "the list" when I get there?  Not necessarily.  Many, if not all, of the table-service restaurants at Disney World® will have a long wait or no availability if you do that, even if you go in the off-season.  Who wants to waste time during their vacation waiting to get a seat at a restaurant?  Certainly not me!  There is just too much to do at Disney®!  So, start planning early, so you'll have a better chance of getting to eat at your favorite Disney® restaurant!
