Of all the changes made to the Walt Disney World Resort over the past few decades, my favorite might just be Disney’s Magical Express. I know, that’s a pretty big statement considering the amount of change we have seen at Disney World. Hear me out, though! If you...
Soar over Hourglass Lake Most of us have a treasured Disney attraction that long ago rode off into history, replaced because of changing guest attitudes, changing maintenance schedules, or even changing intellectual property. Quite a lot of you will remember Disney’s...
It’s been a week since I soared away from Orlando, leaving behind an impending hurricane and a brand new land in which I wanted to spend more time. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge delivered in many great ways, but is it worth the trip? It’s not even completed yet, after all....
After two days of gushing over tiny details (There’s a dianoga in the tanks above a water fountain and a baby sarlacc in Dok Ondar’s collection!), it’s time I get down to the main attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. That’s right, “attractions” plural. There may...
Friday morning, I woke up late. Can you blame me? The park opened at 6am again, but there I was in my hotel room, sleeping as if I didn’t have a super-fun job to do! A few short miles away, people were building lightsabers, sampling alien concoctions, and arguing over...
I walked into the park, cautiously optimistic. Just a bit before dawn, I boarded the bus at my resort. Here I was a few minutes later, buying coffee at the Trolly that looks suspiciously like a Starbucks. I even used my trusty app to pay for the regular coffee....
Your ConciEARS planners have been busy! Like so many, we were glued to the footage from the D23 Expo in Anaheim, soaking up every last tidbit Disney allowed us to glimpse. So much was released and hinted at during these events that it is impossible to get it all. We...
Galaxy’s Edge is truly a sight to behold! Disney has definitely pulled out all the stops to make you feel like you have left Earth and entered a planet worthy of being in a galaxy far far away. Smugglers Run and the soon-to-open Rise of the Resistance are wonderful...
Walking into the Wilderness Lodge, the sheer grandeur of the concourse unfolds in front of you. If this is your first time walking into my favorite resort, you have earned my envy. I still love the sight every time I walk in. Massive wooden columns hold aloft the...
The Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is one of runDisney’s biggest events, drawing in over 10,000 runners for the half marathon alone. It’s no wonder, too. This event is around for the tenth time and every year the festival that spawned it gets bigger....
One of the aspects of my Disney vacation that I most look forward to is interacting with cast members. In case this is your first foray into Disney culture, cast members are any and all Disney employees, from characters to actors to the folks selling you a churro. It...
Photo courtesy Disney The hype never seems to end, raising the question of why so many care so much about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Might as well ask why we care so much about Star Wars. Since its announcement, the massive expansion in Disneyland and Disney’s...
