We have posted before about the Disney products you can find at Hallmark; but we had to post about one of their new items we came across and ended up purchasing ourselves!

We found this small sign at our local Hallmark last week. Not only did we like the quote, but we thought it fit perfectly with the Cinderella theme; and, if you haven't noticed, we're fans of Cinderella! This sign also has a space on the back so it can be hung on the wall, as well as a removable prop so you can set it anywhere.

As we have written before, Hallmark's Disney products are subtle, so you can decorate your home with Disney but without sacrificing style! Also, these products are sold at a great price! For example, we paid only $12.95 for this sign!

If you're a big Disney fan, and want to bring some Disney magic into your decorating, check out these products at your local Hallmark!

A few months ago, we took part in a Disney Traveler webcast from the Disney Vacation Club. This particular webcast was entitled Disney Traveler presents: Aloha, Aulani with Samantha Brown. We watched via internet as Samantha Brown took us on an all-acess tour of the Disney Vacation Club's newest resort located in beautiful Hawaii!

We saw the resort's lobby, pool and water activities, resort rooms, dining opportunities, spa, and their adorable kids area!

How did we get this opportunity? Well, on Disney's main web page, we entered our email address to receive updates and offers; and as a result, we were given the opportunity to watch this webcast and thereby receive a Disney lithograph, as you can see in the photo to your left, for free! However, do be aware that we had a specific time frame for when we had to watch this webcast.

To receive offers, and rewards, like these, enter your email address, keep checking your inbox, and take advantage of these opportunities! Tip: be sure to express interest in the Disney Vacation Club for an offer like this!

This week we are recommending:

Well, that's why we're here,to provide you with a vacation that is a perfect fit for you and your family! So take our quiz to find out whether Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon is right for you!

Packing is an important element to a stress-free vacation, especially when traveling with kids. Everyone knows that it's definitely not fun or magical to discover you didn't pack enough socks, forgot your toothbrush, your child's favorite toy, or your jacket during a cold snap.

However, on the other hand, it's not fun or magical to have to sit on your suitcase for it to close, hoping that your bag doesn't exceed the weight requirements, or realizing that you packed way more than you need.

Therefore, today, we have decided to inform you what you don't have to pack when visiting Walt Disney World!

1. Soap-Disney Resorts provide soap and small bottles of shampoo and conditioner, but with a Disney twist! These items are so cute that many guests take them home to use. Unless you are particular about your hygiene products, there is no need to pack these cumbersome items.

2. Towels-Like most resorts, towels are provided and you can request more if necessary. Take those towels down to your resort pool or use those provided near the pool. You can also save some space in your beach bag by renting a few at Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. After all, beach towels take up a lot of space in your luggage so use what Disney has provided!

3. Hair Dryer-Each Disney resort room provides a hair dryer for guests to use so no need to bring your own, unless, of course, you have several women in your family!

4. Pool Toys-Disney does not allow pool toys such as pool noodles, inflatables, beach balls, etc. While this is disappointing to some younger guests, it's best to know beforehand as these items can take up a great deal of space!

5. Band-Aids, Aspirin, etc.-Unless you normally keep these items in your purse or bag, know that Disney Resort gift shops do offer these items if the opportunity should arise.

6. Iron & Ironing Board-Your Disney Resort room includes an iron and ironing board, so no need to pack an iron!

7. Dress Clothes-Unless you're visiting Walt Disney World to attend a formal event, or you plan on dining at one of Disney's signature restaurants, leave the dresses, blouses, ties, and slacks at home. Most guests at Disney World dress casually, even for dinner reservations, so be comfortable and leave the luggage space free for souvenirs instead of those uncomfortable heels.

8. Excessive Winter/Summer Apparel-If you visit in the summer, we recommend packing mostly cool, comfy, summer apparel. One jacket or a pair of long pants or two will suffice due to the sweltering temperatures. After all, you know those sweat shirts will just sit in your suitcase the whole trip. Also, on the other hand, most people don't know that it can really get cold in Orlando during the winter. So we recommending packing a few warm weather items for a warm day, but mostly stick to pants, jackets, hoodies, and even a coat.
