Disney World VacationsDisney World vacations can be an affordable family vacation option. With some planning and preparation your family can experience some classic Disney magic.  When I was about 9 and my sister was 5 our parents took us to Disney World in Orlando Florida for the first time. They surprised us with this trip and needless to say it was the most exciting thing to ever happen in my life at the time. --To this day I still get giddy when I see Snow White. After getting married I traveled to Disney World several times with my husband. Disney World vacations are wonderful for adults traveling with no children. Two years ago, as a divorced single mom, I visited again at the request of my mother, the original Fun Frugal Mom. She wanted to experience Disney World with her grandchildren, my children. My sister and I went along for the ride. :-) Our most recent trip to Disney was August 2008. My sister and I went with my kids. Sadly,our mom passed in December of 2006, five months after our Disney vacation with her. We're all so thankful for those memories. My parents weren't rich people when they took us on Walt Disney World vacations. When my then-husband and I visited Disney World we were just starting out so we didn't have tons of money either, but with every trip I've taken to Disney everyone has had a great time and every trip was done within a "no frills" budget. During difficult economic times lots of families give up taking any kind of vacation at all, let alone Walt Disney World vacations, but if you'd like to make a little Disney magic happen for your family the information and tips in this section of the site can help you do just that.
