Some of my favorite childhood memories were made at Walt Disney World Resort. I can recall our visits to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be among the first on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, snacking on Goofy’s Candy Company treats and seeking out the best mac and cheese. So, the day I finally became a Florida resident and lived mere miles from The Most Magical Place on Earth was a big deal.
Fellow Florida residents, if you’re like me and take trips to Walt Disney World to receive a healthy dose of nostalgia or to create new memories to reconnect with what makes life fun, you don’t want to miss these deals! We’re always looking to give Florida residents ways to save on their visits – and best of all – you can experience the final phase of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration, happening through March 31, 2023.
