I’ve got to get to bed soon. Yes, because there’s a little bit of that “I’m too excited to sleep” from that Disney commercial… But also because I need to be up and out the door at 3 a.m. because I’m off to check out the New Fantasyland opening (and a few other things) for the [...]
As we get closer to the Dec. 6 grand opening of the New Fantasyland, Disney’s Imagineers are letting us in on more and more secrets. For example, check out this amazing look at Maurice’s cottage: It looks amazing. I love how they’ve left a lot of trees and growth around the area to give the [...]
I go out to dinner for a couple hours and Disney makes an announcement like THIS? C’mon Mickey, gimme a little heads-up.
I did a piece about Walt Disney World for the Travel Channel that went up today – check it out here. I was having dinner with a cast member a few weeks ago at Morocco’s Restaurant Marrakesh in Epcot when the conversation turned to “things you didn’t know you can do at Walt Disney World.” [...]
So what do you think? Jack Wagner’s monorail spiel will always be the classic for me, of course – and for everyone, I’m sure. But it’s not like they could call him up to if changes had to be made. (Jack Wagner – 1925-1995.) I’ll need to ride the monorail myself and see if the [...]

Here’s a tough one (or not, I guess, depending on how well you know your Sherman Brothers tunes) – a quiz about the music of the Sherman Brothers. Just this past week we lost one half of that great musical team, Robert Sherman. This quiz is a reminder of the immensity of this loss in [...]
This isn’t exactly a Disney-related blog entry, but it does explain why I missed out on talking about the Real Housewives of Disney and some other interesting items that came up over the weekend. (Watch it here if you haven’t seen it, but if you haven’t then you probably didn’t go on Facebook the past [...]
If you’re thinking of booking a Disney trip and you’re in a rush, do it today. A reservations systems update will render most transactions all-screwy tomorrow. And yes, I think “all screwy” is the technical term. Which is to say, “unreachable.” The upgrade will impact bookings for WDW, Disneyland and Aulani. Here’s part of a [...]
