The VERY BEST Thing About Our Upcoming Visit
Yes we love, love, love each and every regular visit to Walt Disney World and have since our first time in 1990 (started way too late). We love it so much that the Magic just gets better and better, perhaps because we are at that time of life where we
Disneyworld Planning 101 – Extra Magic Hours Strageties
This topic is a hot button for me. I have gotten into many debates with people over visiting the parks during Extra Magic Hours. Don’t get me wrong I like the idea of Extra Magic Morning or Evening Hours, but does the HUGE influx of people at that park on
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
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

Best Things I Love About Disney – The ‘Friendship’ Boats
We have all taken advantage of the Disney bus system, ridden the Monorail, and most likely driven a car to get from one place to another at Walt Disney World. The entire Disney transportation system is extraordinarily efficient and well operated, and even though there have been a few very

It’s a prime example of Disney putting synergy in motion across its various
My Fab Five Disney’s Hollywood Studios Attractions
This installment will be easy. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of two parks where I really enjoy all of the Biggies. I know there are quite a few folks who disagree with some of my choices for my Fab Five but here, all of the best attractions fit in to
My Fab Five Epcot Attractions
Here we go with my Fab Five attractions at Epcot. Once again I’ll do them in reverse order so we get to the most favorite last. Down the road a bit I’ll explore Fab Fives at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Some of the Epcot favorites are not
Playhouse Disney Live on Stage Out, Disney Junior Live on Stage In
Say goodbye to Playhouse Disney Live on Stage later this month. It seems some of the Disney Characters are moving out to make way for some of the all new Disney Junior Characters. I for one am crossing my fingers hoping that Timmy from Disney’s Timmy Time will make an

Quick Eats – Greek Salad from Studios Catering Co. at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
It was hot outside, as it often is in September, so I was looking for something cool and refreshing. Considering there aren’t a lot of great dining options at Disney’s Hollywood Studios I was limited to where I could go to satisfy my need for food. I decided to give
