Last week, Disney received approval from the FAA to use drones in its airspace. Today, Disney Springs posted a cryptic video (see below) of what appears to be drones forming a floating Christmas tree. Whatever they are, Walt Disney World has indicated they will appear in a holiday night show over the water for the
Christmas is here at Walt Disney World and Disneyland! Well…at least in the gift shops. In this post, we take a look at holiday merchandise that is available in the parks. While the actual holiday seasons at Walt Disney World and Disneyland don’t kick off for another week-plus, Disney certainly is not going to stop
In our Ultimate Guide to Christmas 2016 at Walt Disney World, we’ve bee questioning what Disney’s Hollywood Studios would do for Christmas as an Osborne Lights replacement for several months. Lately, the rumblings had been nothing, and that instead the park would focus on enhanced Star Wars offerings to coincide with Rogue One: A Star
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights ran at Walt Disney World for 20 years, but won’t be displayed in 2016-2017 due to Star Wars Land that began in April 2016. While this is a bittersweet ending to a great chapter of Walt Disney World Christmas history, we’re optimistic that Star Wars Land will be
Following our popular Self-Guided Yuletide Resort Tour post, a few people have asked if we have something similar for Disneyland’s hotels at Christmas.

Not this year. We aren’t going to go because we went for Halloween and are going back again in January for the Walt Disney World Marathon. Or so we said. Famous last words when you have an Annual Pass, right? Then, an invitation to the wedding of friends we met through the online Disney fan
You may have noticed that new posts haven’t been occurring around here with the normal regularity, and perhaps you thought I was busy buying gifts (that’s not until Christmas Eve!), training for the Dopey Challenge (aka eating fewer Christmas cookies), or because I had abandoned the blog to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a
We attended Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for the 9th consecutive year on December 3, 2015. If you’re wondering whether we think the Christmas Party is worth the money, our attendance record should probably answer that question, but we really love Christmas. Plus, by my calculations, even with the rising price of party, you “only”
The holiday season at Disneyland Resort kicked off last week (running until Jan. 6, 2016) and we’ve visited the parks on a few occasions to check things out since. Christmas is our absolute favorite time of the year at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, so we thought we’d drop in with some thoughts and photos
Merry Christmas Eve! Hopefully you’re done with the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, present wrapping, making cookies, and are snuggled up at home by the fire watching The Muppet Christmas Carol. My plan for a quiet Christmas Eve calls for a traditional viewing of that (plus A Muppet Family Christmas, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas,
