$10 or Less Stores at Disney World

Disney Souvenirs for $10 or less at Disney World…no way?? But yes, you can find souvenirs at the Walt Disney World Resort for reasonable prices.

This store is quite popular and a great place to take kids to pick out their souvenir from a Disney World vacation. It won’t break your budget!

Disney has expanded this store to the Disney Theme Parks. You can now see this store at Epcot. Save some money and check out one of these stores right at Disney World for your souvenirs. Happy Shopping!

Disney Tickets - Waterparks, Fun and More Option

With the Disney Tickets, you have the Park Hopper Option that we talked a little bit about last week. Another option you can add to your tickets is the Waterparks, Fun and More Option. This option allows you to visit all of the other attractions around the Walt Disney World Resort. Most guests think that Disney is just the Theme Parks. There is so much more to the whole Walt Disney World Resort! There are two Waterparks including Disney’s Blizzard Beach Waterpark and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Waterpark. There is also DisneyQuest (virtual reality gameroom), Wide World of Sports (sporting complex) and Pleasure Island (nighttime entertainment) all at Disney World. These other attractions are just as magical and fun as the Disney Theme Parks.
When planning your vacation, you will want to decide if you will have time to just visit the Theme Parks or if you want to experience some of the other attractions around the Walt Disney World Resort.

If you want to experience the waterparks or a night at DisneyQuest, you will want to add the Waterparks, Fun and More Option.This option will give you extra visits on your ticket to go to these other attractions. The number of visits is based on your ticket selection. If you pick a 4-Day Pass, you will get 4 extra visits to these other attractions. If you pick a 2-Day Pass, you will get 2 extra visits to these other attractions.

The Waterparks, Fun and More Option is a great feature to add to your tickets if you want to enjoy more at Disney World than just the Theme Parks.

Doubletree Castle Hotel - Stay in a Castle in Orlando

Most people think there is just one castle in Orlando, there are actually two! Cinderella’s Castle is located at the Magic Kingdom Park, but you can only stay in this suite if you win the Year of a Million Dreams prize. The other castle is called Doubletree Castle Hotel and anyone can stay in this castle. The Doubletree Castle is located on International Drive just minutes from the Walt Disney World Resort, Sea World and Universal Studios. This castle features room accommodations fit for royalty, but anyone can afford starting at $89 per night plus tax. It is a moderate priced resort in a fairytale setting. You can enjoy enchanted fountains and gardens throughout this beautiful resort. Plus, you have all of the regular amenities you would expect from a hotel in Orlando including themed pool, fitness center, transportation to Disney, on site restaurants, and more.

Get Married in the Clouds in Orlando, Florida

Besides getting married at the Walt Disney World Resort, you can also get married at the other castle in Orlando called the Doubletree Castle Hotel. This castle is another magical spot to get married in Orlando, without breaking the bank.
Getting married in front of Cinderella’s Castle at Magic Kingdom is very expensive. Why not get married in another castle, but up in the clouds? The Doubletree Castle Hotel has several amazing locations to get married from courtyard gardens with dancing fountains to an open roof top garden wedding in the clouds. You can get married in this breaktaking resort, but without paying the royalty fees like you would at the Walt Disney World Resort.
