Believe it or not, I don't ONLY travel to Disney - I like to explore other places as well! One of my favorite quick getaways is Las Vegas. It's often easy to find reasonable rates on the strip (or extremely close to it) and I always use my credit card miles to get cheap to free airfare. With eBates giving me cash back for my hotel stays, the bill is extremely low compared to my favorite destination, Walt Disney World! Still, Vegas is known for taking your ...

This means we need to pay out of pocket for our airline tickets, and when I'm only going for a few days, I'm looking for the cheapest option possible! Through Expedia (which also gave us cash back via eBates, score!) we found the cheapest fare was Spirit Airlines. I flew Spirit back in ...
How To Cut Down on Wait Times at Walt Disney World
One of the biggest complaints I usually hear about Disney is wait times. Sometimes the wait time is consistently short for a ride. For example, you'll probably never have to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes to get on "it's a small world".
