Bus Roulette ~Solo in Saratoga Springs
Off to the parks, solo for the first time in Walt Disney World I snapped some pictures on my way to the bus stop. Every step I took I just loved SSR that much more.

Planning or lack thereof – Solo in Saratoga Springs

Since I’m not getting a good discount at All Stars with renting points I can find something not a lot more than my value resort reservation. I hit the DIS DVC boards hard and heavy and mouseowners.

Solo in Saratoga Springs
What you say? You are married and have two kids, two jobs (at the time), and you are getting to take a solo trip to Walt Disney World? What??! How in the world did you manage that? Thanks for asking.
