Flight of Passage – Best Disney Attraction Ever?
I recently got home from a trip to Disney World, and like always, experienced the usual “Disney blues.” This time, however, I wasn’t just missing the general feeling of being in Disney World. I was missing one attraction, and one attraction only – Flight of Passage. Avatar Flight of Passage is a brand-new ride in … Flight of Passage – Best Disney Attraction Ever?
Victoria and Albert’s, Queen Victoria Room: Disney Magic for a Special Occasion
You may agree or disagree, but I feel that part of what makes Walt Disney World so magical is, quite frankly, the food. There are some great restaurants and some not so good establishments. There are a few places where they cook up the most sophisticated and delicious food you could ever imagine. My new … Victoria and Albert’s, Queen Victoria Room: Disney Magic for a Special Occasion
No Ride Day at Disneyland!
For those of us, like my wife and me, who hold annual passes to a Disney theme park, repeated trips to the park/s can bring about a sort of malaise about Disney. We ride the same attractions, eat the same food, and see the same shows. This routine can devolve into complacency created by rote … No Ride Day at Disneyland!
Disney, Please Stop Premature Holiday Decorations in Your Parks
I cannot believe that I am actually sitting here and writing this over a week before Halloween in October, but I feel a strong need to quell some of the excessive excitement for the upcoming holiday season long before it gets here. A warning to those who want the holiday season to perpetuate year round: … Disney, Please Stop Premature Holiday Decorations in Your Parks
Monorail to Magical Dining: Highway in the Sky Dine Around
The biggest draw for us on our recent trip to Walt Disney World was a chance to experience the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. But when Disney announced the Highway in the Sky Dine Around, we knew that dinner via the monorail would perfectly complement our time tasting around the world. The Highway in the … Monorail to Magical Dining: Highway in the Sky Dine Around
Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom: Main Street USA
I grew up going to the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Like Walt himself, I love the feeling of nostalgia. I feel it going to Walt Disney World, but in one land more than any other, I feel it in Main Street U.S.A. This past Summer I traveled to the park that started it all, Disneyland. … Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom: Main Street USA
Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom: Fantasyland
Of all the lands, Fantasyland is probably the land that is the most quintessentially Disney. It was created to showcase the Disney movies and consists mainly of classic dark rides. For me, dark rides are what make Disney — Disney. Amusement parks have thrill rides, but theme parks are much different. It is the theming that … Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom: Fantasyland
DVC, Is It Right for You?
DVC booths are everywhere in Disney World. I had always known that Disney Vacation Club was a timeshare at Disney, but wasn’t sure how it worked. Of course it would be great to own a property at Disney, but I would always just walk by, never dreaming it could one day be a reality. The … DVC, Is It Right for You?
Staying at Disney Before Hurricane Irma: Part 4
The Saturday before Irma I have never, and hopefully will never again, be happier to leave Disney than I was on the Saturday morning before Hurricane Irma hit Florida. Our Magical Express Bus was due to leave at 8 am and, already prepped from the night before, my husband and I shared a final cup of … Staying at Disney Before Hurricane Irma: Part 4
