I love this Disney Site – Studios Central
Studios Central (www.studioscentral.com) is a fantastic site that I love visiting. Next to the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is my favorite park. It must be the singer/actor want-to-be in me (at least when I was younger) that draws me to that park. Or, maybe it is the fact that

What Is ‘The Best Seat In The House’ At Walt Disney World?
When I first went to Walt Disney World, I thought I had to be at the head of the line for everything. So I arrived early for Shows. Huddled by the Entry Doors of Attractions. And ran to the Rides. Many have done this thinking that it will give them
Trying out the New Sign Up Process at Jedi Training Academy.
Last week, I finally got a chance to see how the new sign-up process at Jedi Training Academy works. In the past, kids were chosen randomly or simply waited in line for a chance to train as Padawans (Nerd alert: Nevermind that they should be Younglings at this point). The problem
Jedi Training Academy Changes How You Wait.
You no longer have to rush over to Jedi Training Academy in Hollywood Studios at rope drop and wait in line until it’s time for your show. Instead, little Padawans can sign up and then go enjoy the park. Kids will be given a return time for later in the day. Space
