As our tour of Walt Disney World hotels at Christmas-time continues, we continue in the Magic Kingdom area. At Contemporary Resort, we’ll take a look at the Cinderella Castle gingerbread display, outdoor icon tree, and holiday decorations at the hotel. (Updated November 5, 2019.) This continues as we attempt to expand upon our Free Self-Guided Walt
Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center opened on October 1, 1982. This page takes a look at the history of EPCOT Center, featuring photos of many extinct attractions, and more. While EPCOT Center opened in 1982, its history goes back much further. EPCOT (which stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) was a personal vision of Walt
Greetings from Batuu! Today, I had the chance to visit Star Wars Land, ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, sample drinks at Oga’s Cantina, explore, and soak up details as part of a media preview of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And take a ton of photos in the process. I have a lot more to say about
Last week, we set out for Magic Kingdom shortly before 6 a.m. for morning Extra Magic Hours. After breezing through bag check and the turnstiles, a small group of dedicated Walt Disney World guests waited in front of the floral Mickey to enter and beat the hordes of spring breakers that would later descend upon

The most popular narrator at Epcot for the past several years has been Neil Patrick Harris (one of his nights was even chosen as this
Our holiday walk around Walt Disney World’s Epcot-area resorts continues with BoardWalk Inn. This picks up after a short walk around Crescent Lake following our evening visits to Yacht Club and Beach Club for Christmas. We’re going to start picking up the pace of these individual hotel posts since Christmas isn’t getting any further away and
The next Walt Disney World hotel stop on our stroll around Crescent Lake is Beach Club. This follows our visit to Yacht Club, and continues as we attempt to expand upon our Free Self-Guided Walt Disney World Yuletide Resort Tour with a series of individual resort posts because why not?! If you don’t have Annual Passes, that
We stopped at Yacht Club while working on updates for our Free Self-Guided Walt Disney World Yuletide Resort Tour post.
