Is a Disney Cruise Right for Your Special Needs Family?
Before I left for the media preview Fantasy Cruise last month, I did some price comparison. While my husband, oldest and I have all cruised multiple times, I have yet to take our youngest. And I feel really badly about that. But to be honest with both the wheelchair and autism hurdles to overcome with him, I just have never been quite sure how he would do. Since he is such a Disney fan I always thought that his first cruise would probably work best on a Disney ship. Every time I went to book one though two things stopped me: the price and the fact that they always seemed sold out of the itineraries we wanted. Disney cruises aren't cheap. Comparing the cost between two fictitious similar itineraries to Mexico, Princess Cruises were close to $3000 less than the Disney counterpart & 3 days longer. ; Which is the point where I would take my hand off the 'book' button and walk away, dazed and confused to exactly why I thought that sailing on a Disney ship was going to be so much better. I'll be honest. I posed this question to several friends that had cruised Disney before. They all assured me that once I was on board I would see why they are almost always booked and ...
Fun on Park City’s Main Street
Guest posted originally on Snowmamas.com The slopes aren’t the only place to have a blast at Park City Mountain Resort. For me, the shops surrounding historic Main Street are a full day’s adventure.

Disney’s Club 33 Review
Ah, the mystery, the allure, the exclusivity of Disney's Club 33! Walt Disney's private club hidden inside the New Orleans area of Disneyland. It's only mark on the outside is a simple 33 posted on the door near the exit of Pirates of the Caribbean. There are many stories about the who, what, when, where and why's behind Walt's creation of Club 33. It is a legendary place among Disney fans and it is rare to get the opportunity to visit. The general consensus is that Club 33 was opened by Walt as a place to entertain the original 33 investors of Disneyland. However, it says on the menus that is named simply because of its address. Believe what you will. It is the only place within the main (old) park that serves alcohol to this day. It is said the wait list for membership is about 15 years long. The fee's are quite steep. Most families that I know who have had the chance to visit work for one of the companies that have a corporate membership. So, what is a visit to Club 33 really like and what is the hype all about? You start your day by going to guest services outside of the park. You pick up day passes for your family to the park. These don't have your name on it and ...
