I am asked quite often by tourists if they should visit the Kennedy Space center on their Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando vacation.  My answer is always yes.

It is only touted to be the most hi-tech water spectacular of its kind.  Fountains, music, color, and imagery will come together to tell a tale of Disney [...]

With the coming of Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival, it seemed only natural to help people decide what special courses or events they would like to attend.   That being said, one of the more expensive and, not surprisingly, the course that fills the most quickly, is the Napa Rose Cooking School.  Hosted by Executive [...]

So it took me a while to think about my first blog of 2010. I had so many topics to choose from. Would it be food? Nope. Tony took that one by announcing his Disneyland Dining Quest. How about events? Nope- with all the events that Walt Disney World has in January, like the Goofy Marathon [...]

Having an event of “epic magnitude” is nothing new for Disney - they certainly have perfected that skill in many ways over the years. This year was no exception.
On November 25th, Disney decided to preview its new movie, The Princess and the Frog, in a format it has used here at the El Capitan Theatre [...]

As fall kicks in (and the new fiscal year starts), it’s time for Disney to announce the new promotional campaign for 2010.  In the past, Disney Parks have recognized the centennial of Walt Disney’s birth, the 50th anniversary of the Disneyland Theme Park, the Year (or two) of a Million Dreams, and this past year’s [...]
