One of the hardest decisions when planning my Disneyworld Vacation is “Where to eat?” There are so many choices and so little time! Two of the biggest challenges I, and many other people have to face are: Do I try something new Do I visit the places I know and

Oh, How I Love a Good Cast Member!
In a fairly recent WDW Radio Podcast, I remember Lou Mongello and his co-host talking about cast members and how to acknowledge a really good Cast Member. I had never previously thought about this – I always appreciated interactions with Cast Members, but never thought to show my appreciation with
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort: One Guest’s View
In 2010, my wife and I were back on our own for a 5 night stay at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort (MuR). This is one of the Value Resorts at Walt Disney World. Those who feel that they are musically inclined will find this Resort to their liking. We decided
Review: Disney’s Secretariat on Bluray
Disney was nice enough to supply me with a copy of this movie to review a few days ago. I missed watching it in the theaters and after seeing it at home I regret not going. It has been a long wait for it to make it’s wait to Bluray/DVD.
Downtown Disney: Kids’ Birthday Parties at Goofy’s Candy Co.
Looking for a fun way to celebrate a child’s birthday at Walt Disney World Resort? Consider throwing a birthday party at Goofy’s Candy Co. at Downtown Disney, a fun and special way to celebrate someone’s special day. These 1.5 hour parties take place in a small room to the back
Has Disney’s Hollywood Studios Lost it’s Magic?
Let me start with saying – Disney’s Hollywood Studios has never been a “must” on our trips. Since it’s inception as MGM, it’s always been a pretty park, but has never had much drawing me to visit. We decided to stop in with hopes of riding Toy Story Midway Mania
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort: One Guest’s View
In 2006, my wife and I spent 15 nights at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort (MoR). This is one of four Value Resorts presently offered at Walt Disney World. In the future, Disney’s Animation Resort will join the ranks. MoR is by far the fan favorite for economy minded Guests. You’ll
Oldies But Goodies – Renew Your Childhood On The Carousel
O.K. Oldies, it’s time to recall something we all enjoyed as kids and something we can enjoy again as bigger kids. I’m talking about the Prince Charming Regal Carousel which I think should still be called Cinderella’s Golden Carousel but they didn’t ask my opinion or give me a vote.
Resort Transportation: Walt Disney World Transportation Methods
Walt Disney World is such a big complex of resorts, shopping locations, and of course, the Parks, that there has to be an immense number of different ways to get around in Disney. In this post, we’re going to take a look at some of the incredible options that a
Ask a Disney Question: Using Old Park Tickets.
This question comes from Carolyn, who asks: I have entry cards from the passed visit to Disney World…it says that I can use it later…can I use it this trip? The card is eight years old Carolyn, thanks for reading and for your question. Yes, you can use this ticket. On
Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground: One Guest’s View
In 2008, my wife and I with her parents occupied a lot in Section 2000 of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground (FWR). Right up front I will admit that I’m not a big fan of camping. But in the spirit of trying something new at Walt Disney World, I
Ask a Disney Question: Disneyland to Get Rid of Guest Assistance Cards?
We recently got an email from Chuck, who heard a rumor that Disneyland is planning to phase out Guest Assistance Cards. I’m happy to report that this rumor is,in fact, false. While there may come a time in the future where GACs are not necessary on many attractions due to
Want to do Something New at Walt Disney World? Take a Tour!!
One of the more interesting things to do at Walt Disney World, are the various tours that Disney offers. We have been fortunate to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour at the Magic Kingdom, and the Behind the Seeds tour at the Land Pavilion in Epcot in years past, and were thrilled to have the chance to take the Undiscovered Future World tour at Epcot, on our recent trip…and at this point I will say that we are hooked on doing Disney tours: they are a fascinating way to learn about “the World”!
Brotherly Love!
I am sure you have gathered from reading my previous articles that I am an admirer and student of Walt Disney. From what I have read about his childhood, Walt and Roy Disney were always very close. From the time Walt was born, Roy (who was 8 years older) spent
