Choosing Restaurants for ADRs: An Update

I have an exciting update to share with you about my October 2018 trip. I shared back in March that my family and I were discussing which restaurants we wanted to choose for our Advanced Dining Reservations, or ADRs. With so many options, from character dining to buffets to signature dining, choosing restaurants can be one of the more stressful parts of planning your trip. This is one of the many reasons why I love working with my MousePros agent. She is a fantastic resource.

Ask the MousePros Agents: What's Your Disney New Year's Resolution?

As such, I asked the MousePros Agents, "What is your Disney New Year's Resolution?" Here's what they had to say: "As many times as we have been here, we o

Getting Around with Minnie Vans

One of the things my family takes into consideration when we are planning our days at the parks is "how are we going to get there?" Between water taxis, the bus system, the monorail, and walking, Walt Disney World® guests have plenty of options for going from resort to park or park to park, or even resort to resort. (In case you don't remember, you can read about my love of the water taxi here.) My kids love utilizing each type of transportation during our trips. Sometimes we

Ask the MousePros Agents: Top Five Ways to Use Snack Credits

I consider myself to be a Disney nerd. I estimate that 75% of my Facebook newsfeed is, at all times, filled with Disney news, products, and questions from Disney groups that I like to read for fun. My Disney knowledge is a source of pride for me, and yet, I am always blown away by how knowledgeable MousePros agents are about all things related to Walt Disney World®, Disneyland®, Adventures by Disney®, and Disney Cruise Line®. They truly know their stuff, which is why I want t
