Magic Kingdom Update: December 2018

We return to Magic Kingdom again for a post-Christmas visit to check on the current status of several projects and random stuff around the park, including Tron Lightcycle Power Run, Liberty Square Riverboat, Aunt Polly’s, our New Year’s Eve (eve) visit to Magic Kingdom, and more. Let’s start with the current hot topic, and that’s

Epcot Update: December 2018

Yesterday, we visited Epcot as construction on the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille attractions continues, and the park gets ready to ring in 2019. In this post, we’ll share some photos, plus a final look at Christmas and the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. Despite the lack of updates, we’ve been to Epcot

Tokyo DisneySea Christmas Trip Report

This post offers thoughts, anecdotes, and photos from our holiday trip to Japan, with a focus on Tokyo DisneySea. It’s the “sequel” to our Tokyo Disneyland Christmas Trip Report, and takes a similar approach to that, with some commentary followed by 60 photos.

Grand Floridian at Christmas

Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the next stop in the Magic Kingdom area on our tour of Walt Disney World hotels at Christmas.

Animal Kingdom Lodge at Christmas

The next stop in our Christmas-time hotel tour takes us to Animal Kingdom Lodge, a resort few guests will visit, at least if they aren’t staying there. That’s a shame, as it’s arguably the best resort at Walt Disney World. This continues as we attempt to expand upon our Free Self-Guided Walt Disney World Yuletide

A Christmas Feast at Epcot’s Biergarten

During the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons at Walt Disney World, Biergarten is a popular restaurant. Not just because the meal is reminiscent of a traditional holiday feast, but thanks to the atmosphere and entertainment, as well. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s included in Epcot’s Candlelight Processional dining packages, and is the least-expensive dinner for

A Delicious Holiday Meal at Disney Springs

For the last several years, Walt Disney World has been trying to make Christmas at Disney Springs a thing. Special menus with holiday entrees, drinks, and desserts are one such way restaurants are trying to lure customers. Heck, Homecomin’ is going so far as to give away free cake to anyone who wears an ugly
