About Me
HI, I'M HOLLY!
I'm a Nebraska mom navigating the wonderful world of Disney Parks and Cruise Line with my two young daughters and my husband. For us, living as debt-free as possible is a priority, so every vacation dollar counts.
​
My own childhood was filled with wishing for the Disney magic I often heard about but didn't have a chance to experience. That desire fueled a promise I made to myself: to give my own children the enchanting memories I missed. Our first family trip to Disney World when my girls were tiny sparked an immediate passion, quickly followed by an equal enchantment with Disney Cruise Line. Those early experiences solidified my belief that these magical adventures are worth pursuing, but they shouldn't come at the cost of financial peace.
​
This blog is born out of that conviction. I'm dedicated to sharing the practical, real-world strategies we've used to make our Disney dreams a cost-effective reality. From finding the best deals and maximizing freebies to smart planning and savvy spending, I'll provide you with the tools and inspiration you need to create unforgettable Disney Parks and Cruise Line vacations for your family, without breaking the bank.
