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!!!

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.
