I hate to admit this, but I have never been to any of the Walt Disney World Parks at rope drop. And I have never personally seen the Horse trolley go down Main Street USA, but I am now making it one of our must dos in May. But today when we got to Magic Kingdom I noticed one of the garage doors to the Car Barn, which is right between the fire house and the barber shop. So … [Read more...]
Pirates of the Caribbean WDW Ride Queue
You have two options when you are going through the que for Pirates of the Caribbean at Walt Disney World, the right side or the left side. Now if you are traveling with a wheelchair, then you have to take the left side as it is the handicap accessible side, but if you are able to take the right side, I suggest you do it. The right side of the cue has more to see. From the … [Read more...]
A Pirate Adventure, Treasures of the Seven Seas
As you may have heard, there is a new "game" at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom taking place in Adventureland, A Pirate Adventure, Treasure of the Seven Seas. We officially played through one map today. It is a simple game, you go to the Pirate Adventureland Kiosk and get your map and talisman. You are given one of five different maps, and then you are off. Each map has … [Read more...]
Disney’s Coronado Springs Moderate Resort
Back in November we went and did a walk through of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It really is quite beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and would have loved to have attended a conference here, being how it is one of Disney's convention hotels. In my opinion the Coronado Springs is more of an adult resort and not necessarily one I would recommend to clients … [Read more...]
Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion Photos
Sadly, we have only been Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion three times in the last 9 months. Hard to believe, right! You see, it isn't one of the babies favorites, and the area to enter the ride is usually too crowded for us to safely (quietly) get through. Also, we have a bit of a "curse" that follows us around on this particular ride. You see, we ALWAYS get stuck on it. … [Read more...]
Mickey Mouse Ears at Walt Disney World
You know the ears, the Mickey Mouse Ears, the iconic hats of what we have all come to know as a part of the Magic of Disney. What used to be just plain black Mickey Mouse Ears, with your name embroidered on the back of course, has grown into a pleuthera of styles and designs. While the classic Mouse Ears will always be one of my favorites, I truly love some of the new … [Read more...]
Magic Kingdom’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
We stopped into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom the other day and grabbed a few photos. Interestingly enough, you are not allowed to take any photos in the beauty salon portion of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, but you can take pictures of the waiting area and shopping area. There were out of brochures at the time, and I don't want to mess up the pricing, so … [Read more...]
The Sites of Hollywood Studios – WDW
Each one of the four Walt Disney World parks offers a unique experience, not because of the rides and not because of the shows, but because Disney never does anything half way. They totally immerse you in the experience, from sites, sounds and smells. Hollywood Studios is no different than Magic Kingdom with it's hidden magic to make the experience so much more than just a … [Read more...]
Easter Eggs at The Grand Floridian – WDW
Disney's Grand Floridian is one of my absolute favorite hotels. It is so beautiful and relaxing. With white being the primary color, or rather lack of color, the Victorian accents are really set off. Well yesterday we went to go look at Easter Eggs we had heard about. Expecting them to be beautiful, I mean when Disney does something, they do it all the way! We were not … [Read more...]
The Characters of Walt Disney World – Photos
On top of taking pictures of the kids with all the characters at Walt Disney World, we also try to take a photo of each character without the kids. Some people in line think that is weird, but I like have photos of the various characters without anyone with them for use in Scrapbooks and to share. We have quite a few of them, but we still need to get more. For instance, we … [Read more...]
