By Teresa Pitman We were barely settled in our seats, the host of the show just getting started, when a tour guide wandered in with his little flag on a stick waving over his head. I confess that I groaned just a little. I was feeling a little fed up with tours after a whole…

By Roye Ann Morris This year’s Walt Disney World’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend was held February 20-23. The race weekend saw a brand new 10K race which took place on Saturday, February 23.  It was a great race, and I must say, if you want to run, Disney is the place to do it! Although…

By Ann Dunnington After each trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, my husband and I reflect on what aspects of the trip worked well for us and what didn’t.  After a lot of vacations (research purposes only, of course…), we have narrowed down our favorites to create OUR perfect trip plan.  Today’s article is…

By Melissa Bejer Entering into New Fantasyland, there was an enchanting energy that came over me. Looking up past Belle’s cottage, I could see Beast’s Castle in the background.  Thankfully, I was in Walt Disney World, one of the few places on the planet where it is socially acceptable to jump up and down in…

By: Debbie Boehm On a recent trip, we decided to try staying at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort.  This was a wonderful first experience at a Disney Vacation Club resort.  To say that we enjoyed our stay is an understatement.  Everything about this trip was wonderful. The grounds at Saratoga Springs are just beautiful, nestled into…

By:  Jennifer Retzlaff After visiting Disney multiple times in the last few years, I have come to learn that planning is essential.

By Teresa Pitman You know that Walt Disney loved trains, so you’re not surprised to discover one in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But this is really one of the oddest trains you’ve ever seen. How many trains have seats facing sideways? The Wildlife Express does. Climb aboard and take your seat (the nicely themed station is…

By Rikki Niblett   The past couple of days arctic cold has been rushing through the country.  It’s been so frigid everywhere, yep, even in Florida, with lows dipping into the 30s!  (Somebody go find Elsa please and help change this winter back to summer).  While most people know how to better handle the heat…

By Rikki Niblett Well, it’s hard to believe that 2013 has come and almost gone, but here it is, the last few days of the year.  Christmas is over now and we’re ready to look forward to a new year. But before we do that, I thought we’d take a look at a few of…

By Ann Dunnington Like many other Magically Speaking readers, I am known as a resource for all things Walt Disney World around my office.  There are very few things that I like talking about more than planning a trip to see Mickey.  When I’m talking to first timers, I tend to gear my conversation toward…

By Debbie Boehm   I love Disney.  There, I said it.  It’s a confession and a proud statement at the same time.  It began when I was a little girl with Peter Pan decorations on my bedroom wall and it continues to this day when I watch “Once Upon A Time” on Sunday nights.  And…
