A Disney Countdown

To help esculate your Disney Trip excitement, I suggest a Disney Countdown.

It can be as easy as a Paper Chain



Or as cute as a custom Chalkboard.


This year, I wanted something cute...and CHEAP!


So first, I took note of what I had around my house...

Old picture frame....typing paper....suction cups....Scrapbook Letters...LOTS of paint chips (I had plan but the Disney Paint chips at home depot would be cute!)

So I ran to the local dollar store and picked up some Disney Stickers...and WhaLa!

Stroller Rental

One of the biggest issues when planning a Disney Trip is what to do about a stroller.

This is my BIGGEST TIP: No matter if you are traveling with a newborn or a 7 year old. You are going to want a stroller. It is A LOT of walking.
 I am an adult, and I want to ride in the stroller!


Here are some options:
1) driving? Bring your own!
2) Flying? Bring your own!
3) Rent one at Disney Parks! They have single and double strollers.
4) Rent one from an off-site rental company!

#4 is new to me! I have researched and if we don't have room for our own then this is what we will be doing. It is inexpensive and they deliver and pick up from your hotel.!

I have "googled" some other stroller rental places!

Orlando Stroller Rental

Baby Wheels Orlando

a baby's best friend


So what do you do with your stroller while you are on the rides? Stroller Parking.


Near every ride is this neat little stroller parking You park your stroller there and go about your rides! I suggest MARKING your stroller. 99.9% of the time, you will NOT be the only one with that stroller! So mark yours! Make a little tag for it, tie a bandana around the handle, I make us one similar to this
Idea found here

Stay tuned! over the next few days we will be discussing other Disney tips and tricks!
