Isn’t Life Strange?

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 […]

I decided to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park this morning, leaving the Animal Kingdom as the only park I’ve not yet visited on this trip.
As I mentioned in a blog entry after last year’s trip, the Hollywood Studios park isn’t as photogenic as the others, so I didn’t take as many photos […]

It was a chilly day here today. Most people wore sweatshirts or jackets. I wore blue jeans and a Hawaiian shirt.
I decided to go back to Epcot today. For whatever reason, I am excited about taking pictures and have spent much of my time doing just that over the past couple of days. […]

It was nice waking up and remembering that I was at Disney World. Taking my time, I strolled to the food court here at the All Star Music Resort and had a filling breakfast. By the time I returned to my room, Mousekeeping had already cleaned my room.
I decided to go […]

After a grueling two-day drive through heavy rain and Thanksgiving traffic, I finally reached Disney’s All Star Music Resort at about 2 PM.
In the future, I’ll have to put better thought into making my first night’s dinner reservations. I really didn’t have much time to relax and get settled before it became […]

I got in the truck this morning and began making my way to Orlando. Tonight I am staying in a town called Quincy, just twenty miles west of Tallahassee.
The drive was not as pleasant as I had hoped. Rain spoiled most of it. If that wasn’t bad enough, I encountered […]

It’s that time again. After a year of waiting I am finally headed back to Orlando to visit the mouse.
As I have done so in the past, I’ll probably report my adventures here and post photographs for all to see. The frequency of reporting is yet to be determined. If […]

You’ve probably noticed an odd little pattern here over the past few days, as blog entries seem to either focus on The Moody Blues or anything Disney. A little variety may be in order. But not yet.
Hey, it could be worse than this. I could start ranting about politics. […]

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today. Maybe it’s the music I’ve been playing or perhaps it’s been helped by my first Jack and Coke, but there are days I would give anything to go back to the 1980’s and enjoy my days as a young man. I have to admit that there is […]
