Once again, the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is underway at the Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida, and once again, Walt Disney Imagineers missed out on a fantastic opportunity to make the experience as magical as it could be. All across the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,” the theme park has been experiencing what many Disney Fanatics ...

If Disney’s known for one holiday, it’s Christmas. Both in the theme parks and movies, Disney has proven it knows how to celebrate the holidays (secularly, anyway). But why not Easter? Cinematically, the entire Easter and Passover season has been dominated by Disney’s competitors with Easter Movies such as Peter Rabbit (2018) and Hop (2011) as well as “It’s the ...

Since Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, the virtual queue system has become the new normal for new rides coming on the scene.

For those of us of a certain age, Disney dining meant one thing: cheeseburgers. No matter what restaurant you visited, that was your choice: with or without cheese. You would then take your sorry-looking burger to the fixings station and add your choice of toppings. For those in the know, you would make a little salad with the lettuce and ...

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of the best theme parks in the global Disney family. From its incredible attractions to the immersion level felt throughout its entirety, the quality of the potential experience is unrivaled, in my opinion, at the Walt Disney World Resort.

One can never go too long in a conversation with another Disney Fanatic when this all-important question comes up: “Which park is your favorite?” For me, that park is Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
