Summer Vacations - What are your plans?





As I sit here, watching my daughter have a blast with her friends in their pool this afternoon, I think to myself how quickly summers go and how, at least, for us, we don't always take advantage of the awesome weather and family time!

I am here to help you change this - all of it!  There is still time to take that great summer vacation and have that dedicated family time you are thinking about while the kids are still out of school!  What about a Disney destinations vacation?  Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL or Disneyland in Anaheim, CA are fantastic places for that family vacation with tons of family-friendly activities and entertainment.  So why wait?  Back to school time will be here before you know it and life will be so busy again!!  Contact me today for all of your vacation planning needs at all Disney destinations and Universal and let me help you plan something magical! cristie.murphy@magical-vacations.com.

Have a magical day :) and enjoy this awesome weather while it lasts!!!

Mouse House Economics

People often ask me how we stay under budget when we travel to our Disney destination and how we get to go so often.  We go on vacation once a year, so it is really not THAT often, but I know it is more than some people are able to do.  I wanted to share some of my tips for you in this post, so that you can look for some creative ways to save money on your next Disney vacation (and maybe splurge on that character dining or extra magical experience!)   1) Prepare a budget up front.  YOU know what your family can afford.  YOU know what you want to spend.  No matter what your budget is, I can plan an awesome trip for you and your family/group!  There are really many options at all of the destinations and by booking as far out in advance as possible allows you more time to save up for your vacation! 2) Buy discounted Disney gift cards!  The best place that I have found is Target.  If you have a Target red credit or debit card, you can get ...

Well, there’s good news. You just need to lock in your focus and exposure before hand.  That way when you press the camera button on your phone, it snaps the pic IMMEDIATELY! You lock focus and exposure by: Pressing and holding on where you want the focus set to ...
