Update: Disney’s Photopass Service

I love Disney’s Photopass Service. I think that it is totally worth the money if you utilize it correctly and plan ahead. Our first few trips, we didn’t use photopass and I regret that because we have so few pictures of our whole family. The photographers will take pictures with your camera, but their photos will be better!

To get the most bang for your buck, stop at every photographer you see in all the parks. Let’s be honest, you can’t have too many pictures of your family in front of the castle! There are photgraphers in every park. Here is a map and some tips of all the photopass photographers. Disney Photopass Map Continue reading

Strollers

Renting strollers in the parks can be very expensive. It is $15/day for a single stroller and $31/day for a double. You cannot take these out of the park which can make a long walk back the hotel transportation.

I have traveled with 2 umbrella strollers and had success but my kids are getting too big for these now:(

I have also used outside sources for stroller rental. You sign up and pay online, they drop the jogging stroller off at bell services and you have it for the entirety of your trip. I loved this but you do have to drag them onto buses and boats. When you have a full bus at closing, standing with a folded double jogging stroller is a little tiresome (especially for my hubby).

My favorite places to stay

Today in honor of my favorite cousin and best friend leaving for WDW, I decided to write about the places we have stayed and loved.

My all time favorite resort in Disney is The Boardwalk. I have stayed at both the Inn & the Villas. Boardwalk is great because there is so much to do at the hotel between the performers in the evening and all the eateries at any time of the day. I love being able to walk to EPCOT in 10 minutes and you can walk to Hollywood, but I prefer the ferry. If you love to eat in EPCOT, you can walk over for a meal in the World Showcase and then catch the ferry to Hollywood or Monorail to Magic Kingdom. Continue reading
