She is familiar with all of our deals and she will continue to monitor your reservations to make sure you are getting the best possible deal. If she finds a better deal, she will switch your reservation to the new deal without any intervention from you! Now that's peace of mind! Click here to learn more about why so many Disney vacationers have become Affordable Disney members over the years.

REMEMBER: If you want to visit Walt Disney World when there is no deal for the general public, you will need to follow the discount strategies that are revealed in our online book, "Secrets To An Affordable Walt Disney World® Vacation," to make your vacation affordable.

LET US PRAY...

As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.

Prayer posted to my blog this week:

Gospel reading for March 15, 2011:

"And Jacob conceived Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly. But while thinking over these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.' Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife." {Matthew 1:16,18-21,24}

Saint Joseph, we praise you on this, your feast day, for the courage and trust you showed in taking Mary as your spouse and providing a home of our Savior. Help us always to overcome our fears and seek to do what is right and just. Amen.

For those who have questions or wish to share their thoughts with me, send your comments to: johngross@affordabledisney.com. Please put "Let us pray" in the subject line so I won't mistake you for spam.

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
