It’s been a while since we did a random housekeeping post covering things that don’t really fit elsewhere, and that’s what this is. Nothing exactly exciting or informative–rather, this is mostly about you answering our questions and providing some feedback. (Feedback that could end up saving you money, though, so don’t close the tab just
Today is Hong Kong Disneyland’s 11th Anniversary, so we’re a bit late to the punch with this one…but HKDL has been celebrating its 10th Anniversary for the last year, with the festivities now winding down and the park currently transitioning over to its ever-popular Haunted Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland festivities. Still, with everything new
Construction for Star Wars Land is underway at Disneyland. As of Summer 2016, construction is not yet vertical, but it looks like the plot of land is almost totally cleared with some progress also occurring beyond clearing of land.

Well, we have good news for you, as today we are proud to unveil the Disney Tourist Blog Discussion Forums! You might be thinking, “but
Following our Afternoon at Epcot post the other day, here’s another live post from Walt Disney World, this time from Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Except this one actually is live! I know I said I’d try to do a live Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party post, but I realized there’s a lot to cover regarding
We’re currently at Walt Disney World, and I thought it might be fun to share some live updates from the trip via the blog with the nifty WiFi on my Nikon D750. Unfortunately, I’ve had some “issues” with my fancy iPhone 4 that have prevented me from doing that. I didn’t want to bail on
Just a quick housekeeping post for today as I’m going to be updating other posts.
