Hi There! We are Rochelle and Melanie, sisters with a passion for all things Disney, Travel, Holidays, and Food! From a big family in Cleveland, Ohio we love being able to share all the ways to do Disney on a Budget! And all the ways you can add a little more Disney and Harry Potter Magic to your life at home. We are Annual Passholders for Walt Disney World and Disneyland, closing in on the Gold Level for Disney Cruise Vacations, D23 Gold Family members, and recent D23 Expo attendees. We’ve recently added Disney Aulani to our list of vacations and know more about every Epcot festival and Disney holiday than is actually necessary. We are both college grads, have day jobs, run this blog, and design apparel, accessories, and decor for our shop at Polka Dot Pixie Shop. We are writers, photographers, and designers. And determined to be on vacation permanently! And always in search of a perfect cup of coffee, we’re so glad you chose to stop by!
