My family is a bunch of science geeks who would spend an entire afternoon watching The Science of Disney Imagineering DVDs. That is if I would let them sit all afternoon and watch them. I know I have mentioned these DVDs before, but I have a specific direction in mind with this. Audio Animatronics. This…

Adventure of a Lifetime with Adventures by Disney
In honor of the 8th anniversary of Adventures by Disney (June 15, 2005), I asked Carol Gallo, an agent with The Magic for Less Travel, to share some of her recent adventure with us. Read on to see what Carol has to say. It was an adventure of a lifetime! Recently I had the opportunity…
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Opens June 11, 2007
I have a secret. I don’t like it when attractions close. I know that the parks are always changing and won’t ever really be finished; however, it’s hard to see an attraction close. It’s almost like a part of the family leaving. The Submarine Voyage is one of those attractions that held a special place…
Remembering Disney Between Trips
It always seems like too long between trips to Disney for me. Yes, the kids would agree with me on this point. We would likely be happy visiting a Disney park everyday, but that isn’t a possibility for us, nor for many of you, too. While we can always dream about visiting the parks, we…
Cinderella Storybook Deluxe
I received this app for the purpose of the following review. The Cinderella Storybook Deluxe app is another in the increasing line of stories from Disney Publishing Worldwide Applications. I look back to my childhood and the read-a-long storybooks on vinyl records (45s). Do you remember those? There was a “ding” or other sound for…
Top 10 Ways to Tour Walt Disney World During the Heat of Summer
Summer… Thoughts of fun vacations, Walt Disney World, Mickey Mouse, and heat. Heat may not be something that all people think about when planning that Walt Disney World vacation because there are so many fun things to focus on. In the past, I might not be so concerned about the heat, either, but my son…
Walt Disney World Versus Disneyland: Length of Stay
Determining the optimal length of stay at either resort is certainly a difficult concept. Besides looking at the vacation time available, I also try to look at what we want to accomplish during that stay. How many night shows do we want to see? How many parks do we plan on going to? Do we…
Walt Disney World Versus Disneyland: Disney-Owned Resorts
Today, I’m continuing my comparison of Walt Disney World and Disneyland by taking a look at the Disney-owned resorts. First of all, I will clarify that the lodging at Walt Disney World is termed “resort”; however, the lodging at Disneyland is termed “hotel”. Let’s start with Walt Disney World, shall we? With 24 Disney-owned resorts…
Walt Disney World Versus Disneyland: Dining Plans
Some people might wonder why we diehard Disney fans are so passionate about our dining plans at Walt Disney World, but we know the secret, don’t we? Face it. We all have to eat, and there are a lot of people going to Walt Disney World at any one time. Of course, there are a…
Walt Disney World Versus Disneyland: The Mini-Series
Walt Disney World versus Disneyland. Ooo! That almost sounds like it’s right out of a sci-fi movie, doesn’t it? Like Godzilla Versus the Sea Monster? Well, this won’t be a sci-fi mini-series, but I will be doing some comparisons. Someone suggested that I should do a post or maybe series of posts about what Walt…
A Few of the Best Queues
Let’s face it… Some lines (or queues) are more fun to wait in than others. Have you ever jumped in line for Spaceship Earth in EPCOT when the line is long? In July or August? With most of the line being outdoors, there isn’t much to look at, and it is hot. Well, I want…
Walt Disney World Resort Food Courts
Sometimes I hear people lament how there is a lack of table service restaurants at the Disney Value Resorts and some of the Disney Moderate Resorts. I used to be one of them because when I travel with my kids, I would rather the food be brought to me instead of me having to get…
