The Origin of Mousesavers.com

This MSNBC article gives a short history on the origin of Mary Waring's very popular Disney-related website MouseSavers.com.


Mary Waring had just quit her marketing job in San Diego in 2001, so saving money on her upcoming trip to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., was a high priority. She found lots of resources online and posted links to coupons on a Web site.

Her brother, a Microsoft employee, told his colleagues about her savings tips — and within six weeks, her little online scratch pad had amassed 23,000 page views. That’s when Waring realized the country’s insatiable appetite for Disney savings gossip.


That certainly is a great website to go to if one wants ways to save money on a WDW trip.

The only problem with that article is that, it is talking about WDW, but it shows a picture of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, CA!
