July 6, 2014 at 10:42 pmthese are great ideas, Cindy. I haven’t been to Disney World since I was 12, and Epcot center wasn’t even open yet! I’m taking notes in cases we ever get a chance to take the family. Thanks for collecting them all in one place 🙂

July 2, 2014 at 1:45 pmThose crafts look so neat! I have always thought Disney is educational. There are things I learned in school that I already knew and remembered because of visiting Disney.
