The Scariest of the Disney Parks
Happy Halloween! Have an adorable picture of one my favorite Disney families!
Now for something scary.
Touring Tips: Deceptively Bad Napping Places of WDW
Theme Parking is a sport — if you have kids, it’s often a contact one. As such, it requires revitalization and recuperation. Certain tactics to stay in top form during your marathon through the parks include bringing snacks, staying hydrated, and, most importantly, napping.
Five Disney Attractions Filled with Love
Alright, so I complained last week about the Disney World attractions that were lacking in some way. I’ve decided to counter that by talking about my five favorite attractions in all of Walt Disney World. Get ready for nerdgasms…

The Lady of the Grand Floridian
The recent buzz about Hong Kong Disneyland’s Mystic Manor got me thinking about Disney World’s own happy haunts. The one that struck me the most was not one of the Haunted Mansion’s 999 ghosts, but a very much alive woman who frequents the Grand Floridian.
Five WDW Attractions in Need of Love
Okay, so I’m running out of synonyms for “wonderful” and “magical.” So instead of breaking out the thesaurus, I’ve decided to switch to complaint mode. Seems reasonable.
After all, Disney isn’t perfect. They certainly have their pitfalls. And no one is better at complaining than me. So I’ve decided to create a handy man list for Disney Imagineering of rides that need to be refurbished. I’ll give it to them when we have lunch next Tuesday.
To be clear, these aren’t rides that I want demolished. That’s another post for another time. These are rides that I love and enjoy but are in need of a little makeover. Or a big makeover. Depends.
Let us begin! Read More…
It’s the Little Things: Why Pluto is My Favorite Character
Pluto is my favorite character. Not just because I’m a dog lover or because his animated shorts, which chronicle his encounters with other cuddly creatures, are clearly the best of the canon.

I love Pluto because he is responsible for my favorite Disney World experience.
Walt Disney World’s Top 10 Lines
Theme Park dialogue has a reputation for being, well, terrible. It’s corny and dumb. Or just perfunctory. “Please keep all hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. Take small children by the hand and hold on to all personal belongings…” After a while, it starts to sound like the adults on the Peanuts TV show. Read More…
PSA: The Most Dangerous Ride in Disney World
Reader, it’s time for another Public Service Announcement. I’d like to talk about the most dangerous ride at Walt Disney World. No, not Tower of Terror or even Mission: Space. I’m talking about the mind warping, soul catching glee-fest that is better known as It’s a Small World.
I hear you, reader. You think: okay, chill out dude. It’s a Small World might be boring, the butt of everyone’s jokes, and so sacharine it can actually induce diabetes…but dangerous?
Tony Baxter: A Tribute
Once upon a time, in a faraway land,
A boy met Mr. Lincoln and thought it was grand.
He was inspired; entranced by this mechanical gent,
And by all the people who strived to invent.
Disney’s Castle Projection Shows: The Castle is Alive! …Oh, wait, not anymore
In December of 2011 my family and I were standing in Main Street with our Dole Whip, waiting for Wishes, my favorite fireworks show, to start. Suddenly, we heard an announcement that was not, as we expected, from Jimminy Cricket, but from Disney’s generic Something’s-Gonna-Happen Guy.
“Today, right here, in the Magic Kingdom, thousands of magical memories were made, and you were there…So join us now, as we visit all the fun, all the all the adventure, all the family experiences you made here today as we proudly present: The Magic, the Memories, and You.”
And then the castle started…changing. Read More…
