My Disney Blog for Kids
Sure Disney World has great rides but did you know they have many activities?
One of my favorite activities is looking for hidden Mickey’s. Hidden Mickey’s are basically Mickey’s head and ears that are hidden on rides, shops, and even your Disney resort! They are everywhere! Hidden Mickeys are super fun to find and add a little extra magic to your trip.
Here are just some of the Hidden Mickey’s that I have found at Disney World.
Now the parking rates for overnight parking for people staying at Disney World Resort Hotels have also increased. This is getting crazy!
Here are the new prices:
Disney Value Resorts: Was $13.00 per night Now $15.00 per night
Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts: Was $24.00 per night Now $25.00 per night
Disney Moderate Resorts: Was $19.00 per night Now $20 per night
You can also still use complimentary standard parking at the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
I think it’s crazy that Disney is raising prices on parking!
Disney’s reusable shopping bags are just about everywhere: the parks and the resorts. They were brought to Disney World in January and the goal of these bags was to limit plastic bag use. They currently still give you plastic bags with the purchase unless you ask for a reusable bag.
Now here is the unfortunate part. The price to buy a reusable bag was raised a dollar. At first the prices were $1.00 for a small bag, $1.50 for a medium bag, and $2.00 for a large bag. Now the prices are $2.00 for small, $2.50 for medium, and $3.00 for large.
Disney has also increased the rates to buy a Disney World Annual Pass and for overnight parking for Disney World resort guests. I will post articles on those topics later.
Do you have any younger siblings in strollers? If so, then you may want to pay attention to this blog article.
Disney announced they are banning oversized strollers. They have to be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. Stroller wagons are also banned. This new rule is also for Disney water parks and the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Florida.
This rule will begin on May 1, 2019.

On my last trip to Disney World I stayed at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. This is now one of my favorite hotels! Around the hotel there are hidden Mickey’s. Keep on the look out!
One of the reasons I liked it so much is that while at the Yacht Club it still felt like I was in a Disney Park. The people who work at the resort are dressed like Captains. Outside, there is a tall pirate ship shaped slide that goes REALLY FAST!!! I really like the pools because there is sand on the bottom. If you fall, you will not hit the cement.
Another one of my favorite things about the resort is that it is walking distance to Epcot. And at night you can see the fireworks from the balcony!
Across from the hotel is a boardwalk area with restaurants, games and shows. It is also walking distance to Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course.
