Disney has announced that it will open two Starbucks locations this coming year – one at Epcot and one at the Magic Kingdom. This has caused great consternation among Mousejunkies everywhere overnight. At first I was kind of shocked by the announcement, but the more I think about it, we might be OK (even if [...]
Today we went to the Magic Kingdom again. It was a gray and cloudy day, but it was humid. First we got on the monorail to get there. The monorail that we rode was the monorail that I really wanted to ride the entire trip. It was called the Avengerail, which was a monorail that [...]
In my other life I’m a travel columnist for the Boston Herald. I’m putting together this week’s piece – which will run Thursday – about traveling with food allergies and dining wheat/gluten free. I interviewed Kim Koeller, author of “Let’s Eat Out! Your Passport to Living Gluten and Allergen Free” about her book and her [...]
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 [...]
Today was Epcot again! Thankfully my mom was a little better and was able to go with us today. I got ready and we took a monorail there and entered Epcot. We traveled the part of the World Showcase that we missed the first time we went. We even did Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure [...]
The moment I woke up I got ready, because we were going to the Magic Kingdom. We got on the monorail to get there. The first thing we did when the park opened was to head to the new Fantasyland since that part of the park would probably get crowded quick. We walked around but [...]
Today we planned to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We would also change hotels today. We were moving from Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge to Bay Lake Towers, right near the Magic Kingdom. There was also the final “Mousejunkies” meet tonight. A bunch of Mousejunkies came together at Walt Disney World to hang out, [...]
Today was a do-nothing day. My mom was so sick. Nearly every 20 minutes she either threw up or… Well, you know what I mean. My mom and dad lay in bed while I played Minecraft – that was nearly the whole day. For lunch my dad and I went down to a restaurant in [...]
I had an unexpected chance to walk through the New Fantasyland during our trip to Walt Disney World last week. Most of it is open in a “dress rehearsal” phase, which means the attractions can go down at any time, and things are in flux. For example, I went to Enchanted Tales With Belle earlier [...]
Real early in the morning I woke up and went outside onto our balcony. There were only two Ankole cattle out there on the savanna. I found their actions quite amusing. One kept scratching itself with other body parts, including it’s leg, it’s tail and of course, it’s horns. And at the same time the [...]
