If you are considering a vacation at a Disney park, you might have a dining plan option thrown at you. I don’t get them as I find that for what I like the eat, the math doesn’t work in my favour. But if you are looking for something “easy,” many travel agents suggest it. But […]

For those of you new to this blog, hello! I’m Debbie and I’m a UX (user experience) designer. I specialize in interaction design and information architecture, which means it’s normally my job to make websites, apps, and other user experiences better, easier, more user friendly, faster to learn and use, etc… I’m a big Disney […]

From time to time, I see articles and posts furious at how much it costs to spend a day at Disneyland in California. The article usually mentions that Walt wouldn’t have wanted prices to be so high “people” can’t afford it. I recently saw another article claiming that Disney has “abandoned the middle class.” This […]

If you know me, then you know I’m a big fan of Walt Disney World in Florida. Disney recently introduced a new vacation account to help save for a trip. The average family saves for over a year for a 1-week Disney vacation. So planning and saving make sense, and a Disney tool to help […]

I’m working on a plan to visit Disneyland Paris (DLP) with my British friend. That plan is not coming together as easily as it should be, especially knowing how well the website behaves when I try to plan a visit to Disney World in Florida. The website aimed at North America for DLP won’t let […]

Visiting WDW sounds easy enough! But especially if it’s your first time, I have some tips for you. I’ve been going roughly every few years since I was about 6, and I’m about to turn 42. So I’ve got some experience. There’s Way More to WDW Than A Castle And A Giant Golf Ball Some […]

There’s a lot of buzz about Disney’s new MagicBands at Disney World in Florida. In the old days, when you stayed and played, you got a card with a swipe strip. This was your hotel room key, room charge card, park tickets, and how you got your FastPasses (that let you dodge long line rides […]

In August 2013, I went to the D23 Expo. It’s a sort of fan event thrown by Disney. It part Comic Con with cosplay and part “let us show you what’s coming up for Disney in the world of travel, parks, hotels, consumer products, toys, movies, music, and more.” I’m a big Disney fan. No […]

For those who don’t know, Disneyland (and other Disney Parks) have a service where you can hire Disney-trained tour guides. These are Disney employees, which Disney called “cast members.” Since everything is a “show,” Disneyland is referred to as a “stage.” And tour guides know an insane amount about the parks, and will take you […]

I’m a major Disney geek… mostly Walt Disney World in Florida more than Disneyland or the movies. I feel like I grew up in WDW, and going there is like going home PLUS mountains of fun and great food. Right now, when you visit Disney, you get a key card. This opens your hotel door. […]
