It seems like the look of so many things in the parks is changing lately: from Condor Flats becoming Grizzly Peak Airfield to Disney’s Hollywood Studios losing its hat to the new hub in the Magic Kingdom. Now, you can count the design of DisneyTouristBlog.com among those changes (okay, probably not quite as big of
It’s been way too long since I dropped in with a random ‘housekeeping’ style of post, and I figured I’m long overdue. One of the things that I’ve always enjoyed about blogging is getting a chance to personally “connect” with readers (well, besides the ones who just lurk), and I’ve always tried to write with
If you follow us on any social media channels, you are probably aware that we recently spent some time in Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Resort. Hong Kong Disneyland was our last global Disney park to “check off,” and Tokyo Disney Resort at Christmas is pretty great. (As a Country Bear enthusiast, the highlight
Christmas has started around the Disney world (not just Walt Disney World, hence the lowercase “world”), and it sounds like it’s going to be a great holiday season at the parks. Yes, there’s the new Jingle Cruise at Walt Disney World and the rest of the normally great Christmas offerings like Osborne Lights, Holidays Around
Halloween is over and we’re ready to start celebrating Christmas (which you probably know if you read the October newsletter last week) in the Disney theme parks! Before we dig into the merriest time of year at the parks, we decided to watch something that’s the exact opposite. It’s been talked about for months, but
While working on our Tokyo Disney Resort Trip Report earlier this week, I started going off on a tangent (as is often the case), and realized it might be better off as my main ‘essay’ in the weekend update. The tangent was actually inspired by the announcement of Jingle Cruise coming to Disneyland and Walt
So a crazy thing has happened…in terms of views, these last two weekend updates have been the most popular posts of their respective weeks. I have no idea if it’s their conversational tone, eclectic mix of stuff, or just total luck, but these articles that take by far the least time to prepare have been
Now it’s time for another Weekend Update. We know these updates are sporadic and inconsistent, but that’s what keeps them interesting…right? Like Nicolas Cage perched on a dark hill spider monkey style, you never know when one will pounce on you! 😉 It seems like the big thing this weekend was the AVATAR Land concept
We’re in the midst of a quick weekend trip to Disneyland to check out its Halloween season offerings for the first time (note: this was scheduled to post on Sunday night but didn’t for some reason…hence the “weekend” update on a Tuesday…the weekend trip is now over) and to say goodbye to the Court of
I started out the last weekend Update Weekend with a photo of the Magic Kingdom’s “Celebrate America” fireworks during the Fourth of July Week Limited Time Magic at Walt Disney World. This week, we’re starting out with a photo Sarah captured at Disney’s Hollywood Studios shot from the end of Sunset Boulevard on the Fourth
Last weekend we were wrapping up a holiday weekend visit to Walt Disney World where we photographed fireworks on four consecutive nights thanks to the Limited Time Magic “Salute America” event. This photo was shot on the last night of our visit, when I managed to grab a spot right in front of Partners and
