Seven Disney secrets

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.” [...]

New monorail spiels

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 [...]

Yes, I am alive

I know, I know. I’ve slacked the past 10 days or so. I could offer up the mundane excuses, but that’d be boring.

Quiz: How much do you know about the Sherman Brothers’ music?

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 [...]

Would You Like to Play a Game?

A few months ago Walt Disney World announced the development of the next interactive role playing game on property, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. They were pretty tight-lipped with the details except to say it would incorporate some of the technology of the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure, although it would have a far more [...]

I’m back… And the royal wedding, brought to you by Disney

The Daddy/Daughter trip to Walt Disney World was great. I’m going to start catching up on emails and getting things done now. But first, I wanted to post this image I stumbled across – I thought it was timely and pretty funny. Be back to normal soon!

WDW: Home to thugs, thieves and unsavory types?

I never really thought about it that way, but it’s kind of hard to argue with this image I came across today. Considering my fairly non-eventful rebellious phase, I think the Disney-style of acting out probably fits me best. Besides, who doesn’t have a skeleton or two in their closet? Which of these Disney miscreants [...]
