It has been pointed out to me that I may hate reptiles. Especially Disney-related reptiles. “Nah,” I thought. “Some of my best friends are…” Wait. Hold the slimy, scaly, annoying phone. After a bit of self-imposed introspection, I’ve come to the shocking conclusion that they may be right. Herein I’ll divulge the results of my self-examination, [...]

There’s nothing like being at a Walt Disney World park for the rope drop. The show gets your heart beating and you know you’ve got a whole day ahead of you to wander the parks. What is your favorite WDW rope drop? Magic Kingdom Epcot Hollywood Studios Animal Kingdom    pollcode.com free polls  Which one [...]

Guests often do their best to avoid the lines at Walt Disney World. I say sometimes the lines are the best part. Many Walt Disney World attractions have themed queues and/or pre-show areas.

She loves Disney princesses, so when it came time to get a Halloween costume together her parents got super creative and constructed an enchanted carriage for her.

JonasonsMovies has recreated ‘Toy Story’ entirely in live-action. This must’ve taken a long, long time, because it’s shot-for-shot and really impressive. It’s not exactly Swedishing the film, I guess, it’s just… [...]

I was interviewing a number of Disney Imagineers (and one chef) over the course of a few days, and I was curious: What was their earliest Disney memory? Did they always want to be an Imagineer? Was it something they pursued all their lives, or did they just stumble into it?

Here are the Tweets I put up over the last few days at WDW. They kind of tell the story of what we did and what I thought at the time – backwards, of course. (Oh, and please follow me @Mousejunkies.) Mousejunkies ‏@Mousejunkies I can’t believe I didn’t buy a watch while here at WDW. #behaved#budget [...]

There’s a really good chance I’m looking for things that aren’t there, but as of right now I’m convinced this was on purpose. Tom Hanks was on Saturday Night Live a couple weeks back. The host and musical guest was Bruno Mars. Hanks was just popping in and out of a couple sketches. But when [...]
