During our visit to Walt Disney World (WDW) in Orlando last week, we had to visit the gang at the 100 Acre Wood. Christopher Robin and Rabbit are nowhere to be found, but the rest of the Pooh gang hang out at Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom (MK). Crystal Palace is just off Main Street USA

When you visit Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, Orlando; you should do the Studio Backlot Tour. We always enjoy the 35 minute tour that is a combo of a tram ride and a walking tour.

Disney park tickets are a big part of the expense of going to visit Mickey. But it’s always amazing to me how some of my new clients want to scrimp on the day count on their tickets to save a little moolah. Doesn’t work! Disney charges the most for one day tickets. Then, every day you
