These lucky pieces were spotted in in the Main Street Athletic Club, however I did see a shirt and mouse ears in Mickey’s of Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios… and that’s no malarkey.

Until Next Time,

P.S. Disney merchandise abounds here at Walt Disney World. Check out the 2010 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival Merchandise on sale at Epcot.

Suzannah and I at the Mickey House

What would you say if I told you that you could rent a four bedroom, two bath, pool home in a gated community minutes from Walt Disney World for the same price as a hotel room on Disney Property?  I didn’t believe it either until I ran across Jane’s website… MyDisneyHouses.com.

Last June I was looking for accommodations for five people for a mini Disney vacation.  Our group consisted of three different families, but we all wanted to stay together, just not in one room.  I was researching my options when I ran across the Mickey House in Emerald Island Resort and knew I had found our home for the trip.  Jane (the homeowner) quoted us a rate far less than I had expected and we booked right away.

Looking at the directions to the home I couldn’t believe how close it was to Walt Disney World.  Less than three miles in fact…AND… in a gated community!  Our stay there was Magical and when it came time to book another stay this past weekend for myself and my dear Disney Moms Panel buddy Suzannah of Zannaland.com, I went right to Jane and booked her Mickey House once again.

I put  this video tour of the home together so that you can see how magnificent it is.  Emerald Island Resort has tons of amenities. Too many to list here, but you can read all about it on Jane’s website.  When you are ready to book make sure you visit MyDisneyHouses.com and tell the homeowner that Amanda from Disney Every Day.com sent ya.

Please Note: My first stay here in June 2009 was paid for out of my own pocket and worth every single penny! This past weekend’s stay was complementary. Just wanted to let you guys know so that I am in compliance with the new FTC regulations regarding disclosure. =)

Since I already brought you photos of the Disney topiaries, I thought I’d gear this post specifically towards official 2010 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival Merchandise.  This year’s theme is “Celebrate the Great Outdoors”.

If you would like to see the pins that were released in conjunction with this event, please search the bottom half of the Sneak Peek at the 2010 Epcot Flower and garden Festival post.
