More Toys R Us Goodies for Your Disney Trip!

I was at Toys R Us again yesterday and found more Disney goodies that i wanted to share with you. The best part: most of these were in the $1-$2 section...perfect little happies for your little ones!!

Shopping For Your Disney Trip At Wal-Mart

I kind of dislike Wal-Mart. I'm just more of a Target girl. But I can't deny that Wal-Mart has some great things in-store and online right now that will make your Disney trip extra special (and save you major money by buying it before your trip and bringing it with you.

I picked up these Minnie pajamas for Sally for $5.97.

In the toy section I saw some things that you little ones will LOVE...Minnie glow sticks, light sticks and spinning light sticks. PLEASE buy these and bring them on your trip. You will save so much money not buying them in the parks. They were all under $5.

In the grocery section, they have several option in the Disney fruit snack section. Perfect snack for waiting in line at the parks.

In the party section, I saw some really cute Minnie/Mickey suckers. These would be great for keeping kids from getting fussy on the plane, waiting in the airport or waiting in lines.

Disney water bottles. Fill them up in your hotel room before leaving for the parks and sip on them all day. Much cheaper than buying a bunch of bottled water at the park.

LOTS of Disney toys in the toy section. Maybe you need a little something for your child to play with in the car or on the plane. Maybe you want to wrap it up and give it to your child from "Mickey and Minnie". I think it would be so fun to give them a little gift each day of the trip.

Bath squirters for the hotel bath and pool. I got Sally a Minnie one and she LOVES it!

There are several super cute Disney strollers available at Wal-Mart right now. The other great thing? They are under $20 each!!! Here are my favorites:

Shopping For Disney at Toys R Us

If you are planning a trip to Disney soon, I wanted to show you a few unexpected places to find goodies for your trip. I will be focusing on one store at a time. Today we are shopping at Toys R Us. I was in my local store yesterday and saw a few things that you may be interested in.

All of the summer stuff is 70% off. They had Mickey bubbles for about a $1...perfect for blowing while waiting in line at Disney.

They had Disney clothes galore....perfect for wearing on your trip. I especially liked the Snow White shirt that looks like a dress. It would be cute with leggings, a shirt or even jeans.

This is the dress that I picked up for Sally. She LOVES it!! Wouldn't your little Minnie look adorable wearing this with the "real" Minnie Mouse?

Planning Your Trip to Disney: When To Go

So you have decided to go to Disney World? Best idea ever!!! But now the hard part comes...actually planning the trip. Don't worry, I will help you. The first thing to do is to decide when to go. Lots of people have their own opinions on this but I will tell you when I think is the best time to go.

Of course, anytime is great to go to Disney, but some are just better than others. Weather, crowds....they all play a part!

If you can avoid it, don't go during the summer. I know, summer is when your kids are out of school so it seems like right time to go. It's not. It's friggin hot, the lines are long, and the crowds are terrible. I am a former teacher and I am telling you that it is WORTH IT to take your kids out of school for Disney.

Here are the best times to go in my opinion:

1. The Week After Thanksgiving
Crowds are low and the weather is great. Also, they have started putting up the Christmas decorations...which is just purely magical!

2. All of September
School is back is session for most kids, the weather isn't as hot as it is in the summer and you can practically walk onto rides.

3. October
It can be busy if they are offering free dining, but the kids are in school so its not too bad. Also, Halloween at Disney is super fun!

4. The First Week of May
The weather is gorgeous, kids are in school, and its Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival.

5. The First Two Weeks of June
It's "Gay Days" in the parks. I guess that tends to scare off some people. The crowds are usually really low these weeks. So...if that sort of thing doesn't bother you, GO!

Countdown to Disney

Once you have your trip booked, it's really fun to make a countdown of how many days until your trip. Here are some of my favorites that people have done. The links are underneath the pictures.
