The recent upgrade to Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom is certainly “eye-popping”. One of the new additions is the Storybook Circus area, featuring Big Top Souvenirs. Not only is this a fun place to shop, but this is the place to find house-made caramel corn plus other yummy sweets like cotton candy, Disney character apples, and more. If you have ...

Part 2 – Fantasyland 10. Mad Tea Party Join Alice and the Mad Hatter from Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” feature film, and take a spin on a giant tea cup. It’s just like the “Unbirthday” celebration with Alice, the Mat Hatter, and the white rabbit, except you are now in the tea cup rather than drinking out of a teacup. ...

One of my favorite activities at Disney World is leisurely walking around the World Showcase. Country after country are mere yards apart, offering immersive experiences in each culture including entertainment, food and shopping among other things. You could easily spend an entire day in the World Showcase alone at Disney World, but if you don’t have quite that amount of ...

I love all things Disney, but I admit that when I heard that AVATAR was coming to the parks, I was a bit stumped. After hearing about the expansion and seeing some concept art for the new land, however, I’ve come around to the point of being excited. After all, a major park expansion is something to look forward to, ...

Hisashiburi! (For those of you not fluent in Japanese, that means, “Long time, no see!”) Welcome back to our Epcot World Showcase Tour Series. As we visit our fifth country, we are rapidly approaching the halfway point on our journey together. We’ve made it through Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Morocco, and now we arrive at one of the ...

Did you know that EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow? You can see Walt’s original idea for Epcot in the People Mover ride at Magic Kingdom. The focus of this park is all about life, invention, creativity, and culture. Being the second largest park at Disney World, Animal Kingdom being the first, Epcot has so much to offer. ...

It has been said that the Disney theme parks run on magic. That is clearly on display in the Magic Kingdom. Most nights during the year, the Magic Kingdom ends its day with “Wishes”, a nighttime spectacular with amazing fireworks, incredible lighting effects, a heartwarming musical score, and narration by Jiminy Cricket. This show could very easily be the highlight ...
