DS Update: Balloon Ride Discount

Not sure of the current price to ride the Aerophile balloon at Disney Springs West Side but we thought it was $25 + tax = $26.63. But over at Groupon they're selling an advance ticket for 1 passenger for $24.99 and for two passengers, $46.99. Basically, you're saving the sales tax with 1 passenger and over $6 on the two passenger deal. If you're planning to go it's a no-brainer but be aware to use the Groupon deal you have to purchase the deal at least one day prior to use. Check it out here.

DS Update: Remembering Pollo Campero

Back in the Fall of 2010, the McDonald's in Downtown Disney Marketplace had already been converted into fast food chicken restaurant Pollo Camparo.

A price point of $6.99 for a combo meal was a pretty good deal back then considering having a meal for under $10 anywhere in Disney World was limited to very few places. Today the cheapest place to eat in Disney Springs with tables to sit at is probably Earl of Sandwich, with several food kiosks or food trucks offering additional options but without dedicated seating.

With 2023 coming to an end, let's take a look at the flights we took this year. We actually began the year with a couple flights taken right at the end of 2022 but we'll include them in the 2023 count of 39 flights. There are 5 pictures missing that couldn't be located or I failed to take them.
