It’s nice to see the Big Cheese watching over his Kingdom. Friends WallE and Eva were in the Magic Kingdom the other day when they noticed this really cool hidden Mickey. WallE, who always has his camera at the ready, snapped a pic of the misty Mouse. Of course, I don’t think I’ll be able [...]
It’s always fun when I can write about something I love. In this case I got to do a feature story about the Wild Africa Trek at Disney’s Animal Knigdom and a sidebar about all the changes and innovations announced last week. It’s in today’s Boston Herald. The best thing is that they turned it [...]
When Disney first announced the Let the Memories Begin campaign, I was gripped by an intense indifference. Actually, it was indifference bordering on dislike. It all just seemed so… Underwhelming. Projecting pictures of guests on the Castle seemed to lack any spark. I take it all back. You’d think I would’ve learned by now. Disney [...]
Before too long, Fantasyland is going to double in size. And today, Disney released more details about what we can expect.

You can read the full release in several places, (Disney Parks Blog, Ultimate Orlando Blog, WDWNews, among other places) but here’s [...]

Among things to be released are the “new” concept are for Fantasyland (including the Seven Dwarves Mine [...]
The Village Haus has unveiled a new menu, the Disney Parks Blog reports. That’s great – some of the offerings look really good, and it really keeps with the theming. But I’ve been in mourning since the Figaro Fries disappeared a while back. Figaro Fries were french fries smothered with craptastically perfect cheese sauce, bacon [...]
I have great respect for the military, and I’m in complete awe of someone who receives the Medal of Honor or the Silver Star. So it was nice to see this salute to a pair of brave men at Disneyland. How’s this for impressive: Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta is the first living recipient of the [...]

Well, there’s one more Disney trip in the books. Here are a few quick thoughts on my Dec. 5 trip… It was cold. It didn’t bother me a lot, but look at the photo above to see how everyone is dressed. Think I’m exaggerating? Heather Leigh Carroll over at the Disney Travel Examiner is reporting [...]
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big Thanksgiving fan. I just like it much better when it’s over because then we’re on to the best time of year: Christmas. When you combine my two favorite things, Christmas and Walt Disney World, well… You’ve got a happy man. And thanks to the generosity of my [...]
