Hidden Mickey 1.19.11

Posted: 19 Jan 2011 11:00 AM PST

From my awesome reader Shirley….
My family and I recently had a short stay at Disneyland. We stayed at a timeshare and my 7 yr old daughter spotted a Hidden Mickey on the wall. I love it when the kiddies do that! Just wanted to share. Thanks for your awesome blog! Glad you’re all back safe from WDW!

Did you know that there are over 800 Hidden Mickeys at Disney World? And to bring that magic home, I challenge you to find Mickey hidden in your everyday life. Be sure to take a picture and email it to me!

Freebie: Send a package of Kleenex to someone you care about!

Posted: 19 Jan 2011 09:38 AM PST

Kleenex has an awesome promotion that is still going on….

You can send a package of Kleenex to someone you care about through the Softness Worth Sharing campaign. You can only send one package of Kleenex, so if you have already done this promotion in the past few months you won’t be able to do it again.

My husband just sent a package of Kleenex to his mother!

Day 19 of No Dining Out January

Posted: 19 Jan 2011 05:00 AM PST

Can you go an entire month without going out to eat? What about a week or a day? Can you cut your dining bill by 20%, 50% , 75% or more? That is what I challenge you to do!

At the end of the 30 days, I will choose one winner who will get $50 to spend however they choose!

How can this help you “Coupon to Disney?”

  • Take a look at your current dining out budget. How much did you spend last month going out to eat? That is money that could of gone into your fund instead! Try cutting your out to eat costs this month and adding the difference to your fund.
  • Set a weekly dining out budget, if you resist going out to eat, add that amount to your fund instead.
  • If you were seriously about to go out to eat (like had your coat on and was going out the door or pulled into the drive thru and then pulled back out), add the amount you would of spent to your fund.
  • Going out to eat and using a coupon or paying with a gift card? You could add that amount to your fund too. For example… if you had a $25 gift card to Cracker Barrel and you used it, you could take $25 cash out of your budget and add it to the fund. Or if you used a $10 coupon, you could take $10 cash out of the budget and add it to the fund.
  • Be sure to read my Couponing to Disney training series.

The rules:

  • You must challenge yourself. Try to spend less than you spend now. If you don’t go out to eat at all, challenge yourself to try new meals this month. As long as you are challenging yourself when it comes to your family’s eating habits, you can participate!
  • You must comment on at least 10 days worth of the discussion posts in order to be eligible to win the cash.
  • The winner will be chosen at random. It won’t matter if you have been 100% successful or not.
  • You are allowed 1 freebie meal that you don’t have to count or report back to us about. Please report on everything else though so we can encourage and support one another!
  • Free meals do not count against you. This is a challenge to spend less money going out to eat than you usually spend. If someone else is paying for the meal or you have a coupon to make it free, great!
  • Be sure to check out our list of casserole recipes here and the crock pot recipes here and the under 6 ingredient recipes here.

My update

I went to McDonald’s and got a Diet Coke. I am trying to wean myself off of it, and I didn’t have any in the house and I couldn’t take the headache anymore…. I guess I will do it a little at a time.

How are you doing?

What is the Fantasyland Expansion exactly?

Posted: 18 Jan 2011 03:49 PM PST

The internet is a buzz this afternoon with talks on the New Fantasyland Expansion at the Walt Disney World Resort. Our coverage on Chip and Company started off with our Disney Confidential article discussing some of the many changes. We were fortunate enough to get some of the Concept Art that will be featured in the Media Event.

Check out all the Concept Art Images here.

After doing a little digging I was able to find out more details on the HUGE Disney World Expansion.

  • First off the Mickey Toon Town area will be replaced by a Big Top Circus. It will feature tons of hands on games for the kiddies and 2 carousels of Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
  • Sad news Snow White Scary Adventures will be retired to make way for a Princess Meet and Greet (in a castle!) and a one of a kind Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs Coaster.
  • Construction is beginning on the Little Mermaid Dark Ride. I am the most excited about this!

For complete details head on over to Chip and Company here and read up what they have learned so far. I am sure he will have the complete press release as soon as the Media Event is over tonight.
