Walt Disney World/Expert Profile
Expertise
I was a moderator and chat host for the Walt Disney Boards on America Online and currently with www.themouseforless.com Have been to Disneyworld 25 times in the last 10 years and stayed on sight at many of the resorts, eaten in a lot of the restaurants and cruised on the Disney Magic and Wonder several times. I specialize in getting the most for your money and trying to get the best discounts on airfare, rooms, tickets and restaurants for vacations to Disneyworld. If you're looking to find the best bargains on a trip to disney while getting the most out of the "disney experience", I can help. My main concentration is in on-site hotels and restaurants, but I will try and help with off-site info also. Also, recently featured as a Disney Expert in the July (many years ago) issue of Time Digital Magazine!

My goal is to eat in every restaurant and stay in every hotel on Disney Property. I figure at the rate I'm going, that could take another lifetime!!
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Were you ever a part of a ladybug release at Disney? Did you ever hear a talking trash can? Listen to a water fountain? Participate in a hidden treasure hunt in the Magic Kingdom?
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Everyone thinks that a Disney vacation is expensive. Yes, for the most part it's true, but there are ways cut corners and save a few dollars here and there. Sometimes even hundreds!
