May the Fourth be with you! Even as Walt Disney World and Disneyland are closed–and by extension, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge–we’re excited to celebrate the day that honors the Star Wars media franchise created by George Lucas–as it has been physically built in the parks by Imagineering. (Updated May 4, 2020.) We have over 100
When it comes to “best places to go for a walk at Walt Disney World,” Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter rank highly. In terms of hotels, they’re right behind the Magic Kingdom and Crescent Lake Resort Areas, but ahead of Barefoot Bay, Disney Springs, plus the Saratoga & Old Key West Area. To their
If you’ve visited Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or the international parks, you’ve likely seen ducks–and we’re not just talking Donald or Scrooge McDuck back in Toontown. Disney’s parks are home to a wide range of waterfowl, and in this post, we’ll pay tribute to these awesome aquatic birds via photos. While ducks will be the
Few Walt Disney World experiences outside the parks are as enjoyable as an early morning or sunset stroll around Crescent Lake. We love leaving Epcot, grabbing ice cream at BoardWalk, then doing a lap, passing by the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts before heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s a stroll we do each trip

This Duffy-themed monorail features a wrap with Duffy & Friends on the outside, and interior cabins styled to Duffy,
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
Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the next stop in the Magic Kingdom area on our tour of Walt Disney World hotels at Christmas. In this post, we’ll take a look at the iconic gingerbread house, the resort’s towering icon tree, and the other elegant decorations at WDW’s flagship resort. A visit to the Grand
