Ten Amazing Walt Disney World Freebies
A Disney vacation is an investment and while there is a perfect vacation package for every guest and every budget, it can be nice to get a couple of freebies. Just like no one does an immersive, unique vacation experience like Disney, no one does freebies quite like Disney. Here are ten of MousePros Agent Susan Pitzer's favorite freebies (in no particular order) that guests can take advantage of throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort! 1. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Sorce

Happy Star Wars Day, MousePros fans!

What has been your favorite Star Wars experience or moment in the parks? What Star Wars experience or attraction are you most looking forward to at Disney Parks? Here's what they had to say!

Ask the MousePros Agents: What's Your Favorite Way to Spend a Rainy Day
Depending on the time of year that you travel to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you may need to prepare for a rainy afternoon or day during your visit. Two years in a row, my family has traveled in April and had our Animal Kingdom day cut short both years because of rain. That is not a fun park to be in when it rains. Most of the rides shut down and everyone makes a beeline for Finding Nemo The Musical and DINOSAUR. While I wouldn't recommend visiting Animal Kingdom on a ra

Celebrating Spring at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival
The Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival is one of my favorite events in Walt Disney World®. The last few years, my family has visited Walt Disney World® during April or May, and we've been able to experience the magical Disney-themed topiaries, beautiful gardens, outdoor kitchens, and more first-hand. In my opinion, visiting Epcot® during the Flower & Garden Festival should be on every fan's Disney Bucket List. (Photo Credit: Magical Pix by Candi) 2018 marks the 25t

Ask the MousePros Agents: Our Favorite Attractions
I'll never forget taking my older son to Walt Disney World® for the first time and the huge smile on his face after going on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin for the first time. We must have gone on that ride at least 10 more times that trip because he was so excited to help defeat the evil Emperor Zurg after having spent months watching Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on repeat. It was so much fun for my husband and me to see him experience his favorite movie in a whole new way.

Choosing Restaurants for ADRs
March 1st brought so many wonderful things with it - the final weeks of travel hockey for my 9-year-old, the kick off to my birthday month, and an email from my MousePros agent reminding me that in a few short weeks, she will be scheduling our Advanced Dining Reservations! This is such an exciting step in the Disney vacation planning process. It's the first big milestone after putting down that initial $200 deposit. Advanced Dining Reservations, or ADRs, can be scheduled at 1

MagicBands 101
I remember our last trip to Walt Disney World® before MagicBands. We had plastic cards that we used to open our resort door and get into the parks. We also had to carry with us our credit card to pay for food and souvenirs in the parks. I remember telling my husband that I'd heard a rumor about these bands that Walt Disney World® was going to start asking guests to wear that could get you in to the park, open your resort room door, and be your credit card. It sounded magical!

Why I Book Vacations with MousePros (And Why You Should, Too)
This has been a very exciting week in the Blogger Amy household. We put our deposit down for a trip to Walt Disney World® in October! This is a big change for us to go in the fall, but with our school now giving us a full week off for fall break, we have more options for when we travel to see Mickey and friends. I'll be able to check off two major Disney bucket list items this trip - attending Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
