If you’re a regular visitor to Walt Disney World or if you pay particular attention to menu boards or your receipts while on vacation, you may have noticed some inconsistencies in the pricing of items and foodstuff across the sprawling property.

So why — oh, why! — does a Mickey Pretzel seem to cost more in some Disney World locations versus others? Why are certain resorts taxed at a higher rate? And what’s the deal with water that’s even more expensive than usual? Let’s get into it.

Guests staying at the All Star Resorts — Sports, Movies, and Music — should definitely make a point to peruse the bakery cases in the Resort food courts. Themed character cupcakes of late have included the Cheshire Cat Cupcake at All Star Music’s Intermission Food Court. And now we’re back at the very same spot to try this month’s Merida Cupcake!

A note before we dig in… you’ll notice that the sign underneath the Merida Cupcakes in the bakery case reads “$5.49” for the price, but I was actually charged $5.99, so there seems to be an error on the sign (unless I was mischarged). [Read more…]
Walt Disney World has been a destination for families since the Magic Kingdom threw open its gates back in 1971. But over the years, Disney magic has drawn in people of all ages, and today it’s completely common to see grown-ups enjoying the parks with out kids.
We thought it’d be fun to gather some ideas on how to make the most of a girls’ weekend at Walt Disney World — from tips on where to stay, what to do, and (of course!) where to eat!

Deciding where to stay during an adults-only trip can be a tough call
, and there are a few different approaches you might want to take.
If you’re looking to enjoy your vacation without breaking the bank, think about Disney World’s Value Resorts. Want to avoid the noise and crowds often associated with these massive resorts? Request a room far from the main building and pools — even on the backside of a building where you’re less likely to have noise from passersby.

But if you and your crew prefer to live the sweet life, consider booking a Deluxe Resort room — which is often a decent deal when you split it 2, 3, 0r 4 ways! These rooms offer more space and higher-end finishes. Plus some of the Deluxe Resorts have added perks — like great dining options and entertainment.
