Fellow Mousejunkie Keith Bryant passed this information along: “Say goodbye to the old Fantasyland Skyway Terminal. Demolition is scheduled sometime soon(?) and the building will be replaced with Fantasy-themed restrooms (insert tasteless joke here). Also, the area will be opened up for new, spacious walkways so you won’t be forced through the bottleneck under the [...]
Remembering a WDW conductor
A link with Walt Disney World’s storied past was lost on Jan. 5 with the passing of longtime cast member and Walt Disney World Railroad engineer John Glennon. Walt Disney never lived to see the Florida Project completed, but his soul reverberates throughout the resort. It’s never more palpable than in his beloved steam trains. [...]
‘Like’ and win MNSSHP tix
Do you want free tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party? Who doesn’t? Well, actually, here are some people who don’t want free tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party: But pretty much everyone else would want free tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. How can you get them? It’s really [...]
Le Cellier goes signature
Le Cellier, the steakhouse in Epcot’s Canada pavilion, is now a signature dining experience. (As Shelby pointed out – for dinner only.) What does this mean for you? If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan it’s going to cost two table-service credits now. If you’re not, it’s just gotten more expensive. I don’t necessarily dislike [...]
Snipped on Main Street USA
I work at home. Which means I don’t necessarily have to shave very often. After a week or so, I start to look like the guy on the front of Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung” album. See? So when we went to Walt Disney World recently, Amy took it upon herself to shame me into trimming my [...]
Jenna’s journey: Jubilant jaunt justifies jogging
There was a time when I played sports. No, seriously, stop laughing. I played hockey from the time I was three-years-old until I hit my mid-30s when I got older and lazier and rounder. I played soccer and track all through high school. I know, it’s hard to believe. I even competed in the pole [...]
Where Happily Ever After begins: Popping the question at WDW
On the last day of my first Walt Disney World trip as an adult, Amy and I decided to hit the Magic Kingdom. It was a little foggy, which provided an additional sense of magic to everything. We made our way to the Partners Statue and took everything in. Just then, the Dapper Dans appeared [...]
‘Ears to more ears
There was a time when I’d look at people wearing silly Disney hats and think, “There’s nothing that could get me to wear that.” Several years, one child and a complete loss of self-respect later, and I’ll put anything on my head just to make my kid laugh. Or my wife. Actually, it’s really not [...]
Shopping for sharp chapeaus
I have yet to take the plunge and get in-on the limited edition ear hats, but the temptation is getting hard to resist. Honestly, I just don’t know where I’d put them. Wait… I lie. As I was typing that sentence I looked up and realized that the top of my desk is screaming to [...]
Wizzing at the World
Eventually you’re going to have to go to the bathroom at Walt Disney World. Wicked expensive bottles of soda/water/blue drank will have that affect. And most of the time it’s not an issue. There are almost as many restrooms as there are trash cans. It’s when the travel party is limited and mixed that it [...]
