Do you have a sensitive stomach? The older I get, the greater the effect some Disney attractions have on my belly! Approaching some rides with caution and staying completely away from others, I seek to avoid any possibilities of queasiness on my vacation. At Magic Kingdom, the queasy rides include Astro Orbiter and the Mad…

You don’t have to be a kid to love you some Buzz Lightyear!  Ever since the very first “Toy Story”, we have all been fans of his here in my family!  When Magic Kingdom opened “Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin” my family and I could NOT wait to ride it.  Years later, it is still…

I’ll never forget the first time I experienced the ride Soarin in Epcot.  I was on a trip with my sister and when the seats rose in to the air I thought I would die.  Where were we going?  Why are we up in the air?  Wasn’t this a movie? Oh, it’s that and so…

Located in Animal Kingdom, Kali-River-Rapids is the perfect attraction on a summer day at Disney World.  Found in the Asia section of this spectacular park, this water ride both excites and cools off my family on any hot Disney day. Before the line, guests check to see if they are tall enough (thirty-eight inches or taller)…

Extraordinary and unforgettable, my best day ever at Disney World occurred on September 7, 2008, with my brothers, parents, and grandparents. This was our first trip to Disney World with our grandparents, and Grandma’s first time ever at Walt’s theme parks. Some unique and exciting incidents happened. One, which was part of the Year of a…

In all of Disney World, two outstanding arcade-like rides can be visited.  Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is located in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, and Toy Story Midway Mania is found in Pixar Place at Hollywood Studios. In both attractions, guests move guns around to shoot targets. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, the older of…

If you have never experienced evening Extra Magic Hours (EMHs) in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you have missed something special.  Although Disney has not definitively stated that they will no longer offer evening EMHs for Animal Kingdom (AK), none are scheduled on the calendar through September http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/animal-kingdom/calendar/.  The last evening EMH was this past February.  EMHs,…

My very first trip to Walt Disney World was way back in 1975. I was seven years old. There was only the Magic Kingdom back then and while I don’t have a whole lot of memories of the trip (other than the 22 hour drive!), the only two that come to mind are holding hands…

Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios has been my favorite ride since I first went to Disney World in 2004 when I was six years-old. The first time I rode it, the line at the beginning of the attraction made me excited and wonder what else there was going to be in the line and what…

Last September my great friend and business partner here at The Magic For Less Travel, Ric Flack, and I spent a long guys only weekend in Orlando.  We packed in a lot of Orlando park time including a day each at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Sea World followed by a few days at…
