Okay, I know, I know. It’s been a while. I had to take a brief hiatus. Apologies all around! Just needed time to soak in the awesome sauce of my recent Disney trip. Don’t feel jealous! I brought back souvenirs. No, not one of those giant multi-colored lollipop things.

I’ve discussed before Disney’s magical ability to make you fork over an absurd amount of money with a smile on your face.

If you’re like me, you’ve been following Gary B on Twitter as he posts all of Disney’s “dragon updates.” If you’re not, you should. He’s the one behind the official parks blog who has been teasing us with all the videos and photos lately.
