Hi, I’m Melissa, and welcome to Melissa The Mouse! I’ve been hooked on Walt Disney World since my very first trip, when I rode Peter Pan’s Flight three times in a row and decided I never wanted to leave. These days I’m the planner my friends and family call before every Disney vacation, and this site is where I share everything I’ve learned.
What you’ll find here
- Park guides for all four theme parks and both water parks, organized land by land.
- Honest write-ups of restaurants, snacks and character meals, from Dole Whip to Victoria & Albert’s.
- Resort guides to help you choose where to stay, whatever your budget.
- Tips for Disney Springs, festivals and the latest park news.
Why I started this site
Planning a Disney trip can feel overwhelming. There are dozens of rides, hundreds of places to eat and constant changes. I wanted one friendly place where you can find clear, up-to-date answers and a few insider tips, without wading through a hundred browser tabs.
Keeping things current
Walt Disney World changes all the time, and I update these guides as rides open, close and get refreshed. If you spot something that’s out of date, I’d love to hear from you. Just drop me a note on the contact page.
