Finally, ‘The Mandalorian’ Gave Us What We Wanted
It took six long, brutal episodes, but we finally got what we wanted. Star Wars fans who hung in there until the end saw something special in the last two episodes of season three of The Mandalorian. There will be several spoilers here, so if you haven't seen “The Return” yet, go do that and come back quickly. You'll thank me later. This season of The Mandalorian was a bit of a mess. F

So, DeSantis Wants a Disney Prison, Let’s Give Him a Disney Prison
So, after his failed attempt to thwart Disney's self-governing district, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened Walt Disney World with the possibility of building a state prison on the property next to the “Happiest Place on Earth.” DeSantis' idle threat got the wheels turning, and I wondered: what would a Disney prison be like, and what characters would be permanently locked up? So,

This Morbid Piece of Mickey Mouse Memorabilia is Now Worth Thousands
In late 1939, the world was on the verge of the Second World War, but Walt Disney was on top of the world. He had just released Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and he was working on Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). But all that came to a screeching halt on December 7, 1941, with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Like every American, Walt Disney focused his full attention on the war

Come On Jeopardy, That’s Your Walt Disney Trivia Question?
Everyone knows that there's a proper way to watch Jeopardy at home. When you know the answer, you shout it out in a loud, confident voice. When you don't know the answer, you mumble something incoherent under your breath so it appears you said the answer, and you can still pretend you know everything. But every Disney fan yelled the answer in unison on Monday night's Jeopardy and then mumbled abou

The Greatest Ride That No Longer Exists at Walt Disney World
Disney fans can be fickle. We always want the latest and newest stuff when we visit the Parks, but then we lament that a great attraction was removed to make room for our latest toy. It's the irony of being a Disney fan: we want the shiny, new toy, but we don't want to give anything up to get it. Case in point, The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We all loved that ride. It had a li

The Beauty and the Misery of the Walt Disney World Easter Parade
It was at some point in the early 90s. It had to be the 90s, as all great things happened then. I wasn't quite a teenager, but I was pretty close. It was probably the second or third time I had ever been to Walt Disney World, and my family was staying at Disney's Beach Club for the first time ever. This was before Extra Magic Hours or anything like that, so you got into the Parks at the same time

The Beloved Disney World Experiences Ended For ‘Good Reasons’
There is an old saying that all good things must come to an end. While we’d like to believe that the magical experiences to be had at Walt Disney World are all exempt from this concept, we all know better. We’ve seen it firsthand when one of our favorite attractions closes or a highly enjoyable non-attraction offering becomes defunct. That’s just the way it is, despite popular misgivings. And trut
