You are in the midst of planning a Disney Parks vacation, and in a previous post, we discussed when would be the best time for a visit.

Almost Like Winning a Free Vacation
... 8/8/09.
Staying at one of Disney’s Value Resorts would make this trip very economical, however the package is available at all 23 of the Disney Resort hotels.

But it was amazing to me the recipes I discovered you could prepare with a simple coffeemaker.
While some recipes ranged from egg salad to poached salmon and lemon chicken, I can only envision a trip to the hospital...
