New plan in the works for the former Hyperion Wharf
The Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island area might be lacking, but at least we now know Disney’s well aware of the situation. Shuttered clubs and the most horrible restaurant I’ve ever eaten at on Disney property – T-Rex – really takes away from what could be an amazing space. I’m sure the empty warehouses will be filled, [...]

A talk with the owner of Splitsville – coming soon to DTD
I had a chance to talk with Splitsville co-owner Mark Revelle this morning to get some info about the new, upcoming Downtown Disney bowling venue. It looks like it’s going to be great fun, but I had two burning questions I had to get off my chest. Watch until the end to see if Splitsville [...]

“Trip to Humid World” by Katie, age 8
Katie and I just got back from another Daddy/Daughter trip to Walt Disney World. Before we left, she found one of my old journals where I chronicled some of our vacations. She told me she wanted to do the same thing on this trip, so she packed a journal and spent every night writing. When [...]
