Isn’t Life Strange?

I just love the iPhone. Sure, there are other smartphones that can essentially do many of the same tasks, like email, web browsing, playing audio or video files, or interacting with Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, but the iPhone is the current king when it comes to providing users with unique and useful applications for just […]

If you talk to people who have visited both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, they will tell you that the attractions at one park may not be exactly the same as the attraction of the same name at the other park. An examination of ride-through videos on YouTube reveals that the attractions share most of […]

I never knew they did this, and that’s probably because I’ve never felt like hanging around the Magic Kingdom until closing time.
Disney really goes to great lengths to make every experience magical.

It’s too bad this classic Disney ride no longer exists. I was able to ride it only once during a whirlwind (and my very first) trip to Walt Disney World in 1996. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was replaced by a Winnie the Pooh-themed dark ride. I’ve not been on that one yet, […]

I found the following 45-minute video to be absolutely fascinating. For those of us who hadn’t visited Epcot before the mid 1990’s, the video reveals how much the Future World section of the park has changed over the years.
Granted, some of the newer attractions have drawn more people to the park, but I sure […]

Now that my Disney vacation is only a memory, I wanted to write a little about some of the new experiences I had and the things I enjoyed while I was there.
I’m pleased that I was able to enjoy some attractions I hadn’t taken the time to see on my previous trips. […]

You can see a collection of my recent Disney World vacation photos here.

My Disney World adventure is at an end. Tomorrow morning I’ll drag myself out of bed, pack up the truck, and get on the road. During my stay, I was able to see quite a few things I had missed in my previous trips. I’m working on a couple more entries about […]

My next to last day at Walt Disney World was another fun one. I visited the Animal Kingdom theme park for the purpose of experiencing what is in my opinion, the most exciting attraction here - Expedition Everest. Like my previous time at the park, I enjoyed the ride so much, I did […]

Due to rain, the day was a bit of a slow one yesterday. Last night was unexpected but enjoyable.
I went to Epcot thinking I was going to have a quick counter-service dinner and return to my room for an early night. Instead I got sidetracked - something that can easily happen […]

I’ve done some new things here at Walt Disney World over the past few days. Among them are the following:

Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Snow White’s Scary Adventures
Spectromagic

I had a great night at the Magic Kingdom where I saw the “Castle Lighting” ceremony, the amazing Spectromagic parade, and the “Wishes” fireworks show. […]

It was a bit on the cool side today. I know those of you from home probably aren’t interested in my idea of cool weather right now, but folks here were wearing long sleeves and more. The nice warm Florida sun helped make the afternoon pleasant.
I decided to revisit the Magic […]

Dinner tonight was at Artist Point, a Disney Signature Restaurant located in the Wilderness Lodge. I’ve dined there in the past and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and food.
I enjoyed the wonderfully delicious Smoky Portobello Soup, and a main course of Roasted Chicken Breast. I asked the waiter to substitute hazelnut […]

Today was a long day. I had an early lunch at the very popular Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney. I chose The “Full Montagu”. While I was at Downtown Disney, I browsed a few of the stores.
Later in the afternoon I went to Epcot as I had dinner reservations there. […]

What a great day!
After yesterday’s uneventful day and disappointing dinner, I was looking for some of that famous Disney magic to work today.
I had a breakfast reservation at Boma, a buffet restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. My favorite part of the meal was a very tasty house juice. The waitress […]
