Rise of the Resistance is the newest attraction for both Disneyland and Disney World. It’s a 20 minute attraction that is a mix of character interaction and a ride. *** If you don’t want to see any spoilers… do not read further!! My coworker Todd and I had […]
Our last dinner at Disney World was at the Animal Kingdom Kidani Village. I actually think we saved the best for last. We had to get there from our hotel, and the bus service was delayed due to a tornado watch. The only option to make it was […]
The Festival of the Lion King is a musical show featuring live singers, dancers and acrobatic performers. The show is free, and there is a FastPass, but I splurged on the lunch package from Tiffins, so we had Tier II reserved seats. The show is about a half […]
Animal Kingdom used to not have good food places. It’s changed and I was told to eat at Tiffins. Unfortunately, Tiffins is not cheap. Let’s put it this way, it costs 2 dining credits to eat there. I found out that there was a Lion King package that […]
It’s our 6th and final day at Disney World, and our final theme park is the Animal Kingdom. It’s probably my least favorite of the 4 parks, but it’s also been 6 years since I was last here. We had a morning FastPass for the Kilimanjaro Safari so […]
We had over 20 snack points to use, and we were already on day 5 of our trip. We decided to use up some points at the Festival of the Arts food kiosks. A snack is not limited to a cookie or soft drinks . If you see […]
Second day at Epcot, and this time we’re exploring the front part of the park. We got a FastPass for The Seas with Nemo and Friends. It’s a cute, slow moving ride that educates us about the ocean and sea life. At the end of the ride, guests […]
Walt Disney World has Magical Hours, where guests staying on property can have access to specific parts either before park opening, or after it closes. Tonight, Epcot was selected to be opened 2 hours later from 9:00-11:00 pm. We went back to the hotel to rest, and then […]
After our lunch at Biergarten, we slowly walked around the World Showcase and explored the different countries. Scattered around Epcot were works of arts, celebrating the Festival of the Arts that was being held until February 24. There were recreations of famous paintings in which guests could “be […]
Epcot is the biggest of the 4 Disney World theme parks. it’s so large, they have different openings times for the 2 sections. The front part is Future World, which has the iconic Spaceship Earth sphere, and is currently partially under construction. This front section is more educational, […]
It was a long day for Stephen, and we still had the fireworks show at 8:00 pm. After visiting the Enchanted Tiki Room, we decided to stake out a spot on Main Street and relax until the fireworks show. I remembered that there was a special Photopass Magic […]
By the time we were done with Stephen’s haircut, we had to head over to Liberty Square for our Haunted Mansion FastPass. The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom is slightly different than the one at Disneyland. For starters, their mansion looks different than the Plantation mansion in […]
Did you know you can get a hair cut at the Magic Kingdom? The barbershop is located near the entrance of the park, next to the fire station. Tucked away in the corner, you’ll see the barber shop pole, and for $19 you can get a haircut. There’s […]
We took a break from the Magic Kingdom and hopped on the express monorail to the Disney’s Polynesian resort. I wanted Stephen to visit another hotel, and to show him that it’s an experience just like going to a theme park. The Polynesian has a tiki bar called […]
Following our lunch at Be Our Guest, we went to check out Tomorrowland. Stephen has never been on Carousel of Progress, so we went back in time with this classic, nostalgic show, followed by another classic attraction, Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover, (or as Disney fans call it: the […]
It’s day 3, and we’re going to the Magic Kingdom. Unlike our easy day at Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom was going to be longer and a lot more walking. We still didn’t get up early, and arrived at the park around 10:00 am. Our first FastPass was […]
