Sure, the amusements are one-of-a-kind, the theming is out of this world and interaction with the characters is the stuff of a child’s dream. But if you ask my husband, the best part of Disney is the dining, and he had his priority seating choices made long before his 90 day window.

So what’s better than Disney dining? Well, how about Disney dining…for free? Yep, that’s the offer on the table (pun intended). If you book a full price WDW vacation checking in between August 16 and October 3 (with some restrictions), you can upgrade to the Magic
Your Way Plus Dining plan for the same price as the plain old Magic Your Way package.

Bottom line: this deal will save the average family of four (who are those people?) $101.96 per day. That’s a lot of souvenir money, doncha know?

The small print: your vacation package must include a three day hotel stay and a one day (at least) theme park ticket. And you must book before 6/21/09, using the appropriate code: RYH. If you want to upgrade to the Deluxe Dining Plan (which gives you three sitdown or counter service meals a day, two snacks, an appetizer with table service meals and a refillable mug) you can do so for $32 per adult per night and $10 per night for the kiddies. Use code UGR.

So what’s the hold up? Go book your Disney trip with free dining now…and start counting the days until you have to dial to book your space at LeCellier.

Spring Break At Disney

Forget Daytona – the real happening place for spring break this year is Orlando and Walt Disney World! And, if you book through February 28 (a mere five days left!) you can get a break on your budget too. You can stay at select Disney Resorts (read: the value hotels) for as little as $74 a night for Sunday through Thursday stays in March. And that rock bottom rate will get you the same high quality magic you can find at the bigger resorts – for a lot more money.

Let’s face it, if you’re at the Disney parks, you’re not going to be spending a lot of time in your room anyway. Save money by booking one of these deals – then treat yourself to a great dinner at Le Cellier!

Still doubt Disney can be done on the cheap? In a press release today, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) named Orlando/Walt Disney World one of the top budget-friendly travel destinations in the US for 2009.

Disney came in second to Las Vegas and was cited for the number of packages available, particularly the “Kids Fly Free” program. Branson MO, New Orleans and Los Angeles rounded out the top five.

Is Today Your Birthday? Mickey Wants to Celebrate!

It’s not my birthday….that’s next month. But it’s Lincoln’s. And maybe it’s yours as well.

Whenever your birthday is, that’s the time to celebrate with a visit to Disney World because (as you’ve probably heard in a million commercials) this year you can celebrate your birthday in Disney for free!

The details – you have to be at the Disney park of your choice (sorry, just one) on your actual date of birth. And you need to register your birthday first, so no celebrating a birthday every other month (believe me, we age quickly enough as it is!).

They even offer gift certificates for those who already have an annual pass (see, Goofy and the guys covered all the bases). So sign up here, and enjoy a Mouska-birthday – on the World!
