In celebration of the “How will you train?” art contest going on now in Pixie Hollow and ending on September 6, Disney was nice enough to hook us up with a HUGE giveaway to run on the Chip and Co Site!
2) A bright colored cloth or hankerchef for the stroller. As you know there are hundreds of strollers being used at Disney. When you get on a ride you park your stroller in the designated area but when you come off the ride, your stroller may be moved. The Cast Members are always re arrangeing the strollers to maximize the space. If you but a brightly colored cloth tied to the handle, your stroller will be recognizable more quickly, especially if you rent a stroller from Disney.

4- Buy Disney gift cards. You can either go to your local Disney store or go online and purchase the gift cards. Buy a gift card once a month or weekly. The cards can only be used at Disney locations so you know you won't spend it but only at Disney. Gift cards are great for kids. It is like their own credit card. The Disney gift cards have no experations and no fees. Another place you can get Disney gift cards are through www.plasticjungle.com . They have gift cards that you can purchase for cheaper than the value. For example you may find a $50 Disney gift card and pay only $40. They have many different gift cards from a wide range of businesses so you can purchase gift cards other than Disney. They don not always have the gift card you want but keep checking their site.
As some of you may know from FaceBook, I burnt my fingers last night. While laying in bed in pain, I thought about my next blog, First Aid. Fist Aid centers are located at all 4 theme parks and the 2 water parks.
-Animal Kingdom first aid is located at Discover Island behide Creature Comforts right before you go over the bridge to Africa.
The first aid centers will have plenty of common medicine such as tylenol, Advil and Alka Seltzer. They also have bandaids and gauzes for minor cuts and scraps. The Cast Members who work there are very friendly and are willing to help. The cost of the meds are free. The parks also have nurses if you think you need to be checked out with a major illness. If you just get too hot and need to set down in a cool place to rest, you can do that at these centers. You can buy meds at all the stores but will cost you around $2 for a sample pack. If you need meds for a headache and are willing to walk to the other side of the park, I suggest to go to the first aid center where there will be no crowd and you can get your free meds and sit in a cool room and relax for a while.
2-September through October is also a great time. Kids are back in school which mean less of a crowd and the temps are still a little warm but not scortching hot. Around the middle of September, WDW starts celebrating fall and Halloween. A popular event at MK is the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Kids and adults have fun dressing up in their favorite costumes and go trick or treating around MK. When you enter MK you will be given trick or treat bags but I suggest to take you take your own, the ones you are given are not really big. You will leave with an overflowing bag of candy and not just cheap candy, the good ones. Last year they handed out Ghirardelli chocolates. This is also a seperate priced event but well worth it. This is the only time you will see Snow White with the seven dwarfs, the Disney villains, and characters from the Haunted Mansion. They have special fireworks and a parade called Mickey's Boo To You Halloween Parade. Don't worry parents, this is not a scary event like other theme parks I know.
3- Spring time at Disney is wonderful. March and May is not be the least crowded but it's deffanately not the crowdest. Be sure to avoid the two weeks around Easter, WDW is very crowded during that time. The temps are usually in the 80s. During this time EPCOT celebrates their Flower and Garden Festival. EPCOT is beautiful with blooming flowers and topiary displays. You can attend garden workshops and hear great singers. One reason I love this time of year is beacuse I love to garden and you can find all kinds of merchandises relating to gardening at this time that you can't get any other time of the year.
