When the sun goes down at Walt Disney World, the party gets started. Well, not party, but nighttime is when the parks are best experienced, and most attractions that have outdoor portions are at least somewhat enhanced at night. At night, the parks come alive with a wonderful energy. This is especially true at the
I’m not particularly keen on New Year’s Resolutions. If you have a goal, waiting for the changing of a calendar seems silly, and the common knowledge that most resolutions fail provides justification when giving up on that goal since “everyone else did too.” Nevertheless, people seem to like New Year’s Resolutions. Since we recently reviewed
These first-time Disneyland Paris tips are designed to help you with things you might not know about vacationing in the French parks, how they differ from their United States counterparts, and what to know when planning your first visit. Most of these are based upon what we’ve learned from our visits to Disneyland Paris (and
It was a colossal year for news at Walt Disney World, with more credible rumors and announcements than at any point in over a decade. Beyond the formal announcements and rumors, there were also updates on previously-announced projects, such as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (the model that stole the show at the D23 Expo) and
When it comes to Disney, describing something as “magical” is pretty cliched and overdone. While the parks are awe-inspiring places that overfill people with joy and leave them speechless, magical is probably not the best word to describe a steak you had at Yachtsman Steakhouse. (Okay, bad example–it absolutely is.) Yet, there plenty of things that happen
One of the defining features of the best Walt Disney World hotels is their lavish lobbies. This may seem like hyperbole, as location, on-site perks, and theme are usually what convinces guests to book one resort versus another. However, the hotel lobby is often what makes the first-impression upon arrival to Walt Disney World, that
In this post, we rank the best Disneyland and Disney California Adventure attractions, narrowing the list to the 10 best from the two parks. Narrowing it to only ten attractions was no easy task. How do you rank the timeless Walt-era Disneyland attractions alongside newer offerings that are more technically-advanced, but may not stand the
During our Walt Disney World trip last week, we sampled savory snacks and desserts from booths at the 2017 Epcot Food & Wine Festival, trying a good portion of the 90+ different items. By and large, Walt Disney World’s culinary teams did a good job this year–the vast majority of what we tried was (at
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland, you’ve waited in queues (codeword for a less-pleasant term: lines). Probably for hours. After all, not everything has FastPass or MaxPass. In this post, we offer our a fun post about the best queues at Disney California Adventure and Disneyland. While our goal is something fun, this is also
As a Disney theme parks fan first and foremost, I love that Walt Disney World has created so many characters specifically for its attractions, restaurants, and entertainment. This post is a salute to those characters who have no connection to Disney’s animated or live action films, instead existing in the realm of the parks. (In other words,
Taking a solo trip to Walt Disney World can be an intimidating, yet incredibly enjoyable experience. The idea of going alone may seem off-putting, even. For many people, the highlight of a Disney vacation is spending time with family and making memories of fun, laughter, and little moments shared with the people you love. That’s
