Helping a Disney Vacation Fit Your Budget

$150 in Disney gift cards @ Sam’s club for $143!!! Did you also know you can make payments on any Disney vacation?! Only a deposit of $200 is required for a WDW package; and, then you pay your final payment 45 days prior to arrival. Now, you have the rest of 2014 & 2015 to make any monthly payment that you choose; and, I can apply them to your package with Disney. What a wonderful way to make a family vacation with Mickey fit your budget! For example, a $2500 package for December 2015 would be under $150 a month – or $143 if you pay with Disney gift cards from Sam’s Club!  Now, is the perfect time to book your Walt Disney World vacation. *O*

Feeling thankful ~ for my 2 new military families this week! I’ve learned so much about the Disney Armed Forces Salute – offering qualified service members (or their spouse) both discounted theme park tickets (up to 6, or more if your immediate family is larger) and outstanding discounts on up to 3 rooms @ the Disney Resorts (campsites not included).

I also wanted to share more about the Magic Kingdom Flag Retreat Ceremony that takes place every day @ 5pm. I read about it long ago; however in all our trips to WDW, we had never made it to one. Thankfully, this last trip Jay & I took in Oct, we just happen to be walking in for Mickey’s Halloween Party and it was starting. The ceremony is incredibly moving; and, I couldn’t hold back tears while watching and hearing them lower our flag. It’s now a highlight and something I would recommend for every family to witness! 

For more details I’ll let this beautiful post, complete with pictures from "Uncle" Bob Elsie, fill you in. However, please note you can no longer sign up for this at City Hall, the veteran participant is now selected at random by the Magic Kingdom Entertainment Department.

Wishing you a magical Sunday ~ Christine
