I was, in fact, able to access the upstairs ImageWorks. As the Cast Member escorted me upstairs on the elevator, I felt like pinching myself to make sure it was actually happening. If you read this blog even occasionally, it’s little secret that the original Journey into Imagination is my all-time favorite Walt Disney World
Previously set to open March 31, 2012, Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom’s New Fantasyland at Disney World soft opened on March 12, 2012. One Dumbo the Flying Elephant spinner and The Barnstormer Featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini are presently open. WDWMagic has photos. This is the first area in the highly anticipated “New Fantasyland,”
After leaving Disney’s Animal Kingdom we had to head back to BoardWalk to grab warmer clothing. After all, it was in the 40s, which converts to about -35 degrees elsewhere (so I guess Florida is somewhat like Canada, in that regard). Unfortunately, we didn’t have a bus to ourselves, and this bus was planning on
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is an interactive game in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom that debuted in 2012. At the Main Street Firehouse, Merlin recruits park guests as apprentice sorcerers for the game, and sends them out to various lands in the Magic Kingdom to do battle with Disney villains, led by Hades, with
As we were passing through this area of the Magic Kingdom early Tuesday morning on our way to Splash Mountain, this fountain caught my eye. It has long been one of my favorite Walt Disney World water fixtures, but it’s difficult to photograph because there are always so many people and strollers in this area
As I mentioned in my recent review of the book Gardens of Walt Disney World Resort, I love the greenery and details at Walt Disney World. From topiaries to trees that are unordinary and different from what you’d see in the real world, I enjoy it all. It should be no surprise that I really
With the morning dew still on this flower in the Magic Kingdom’s Rose Garden as the sun rose early on December 30, 2011, all was quiet and serene in this little corner of Walt Disney World. In only a few short hours, the park would be filled with people, on what was one of the
Thanks to the perimeter bursts, the Walt Disney World 40th anniversary showing of Wishes on October 1, 2011 was easily the best showing of Wishes we had ever experienced. The energy from the crowd that entire day was palpable, and it was great to spend the day with so many others who cared so deeply
Walt Disney World’s Fantasy in the Sky fireworks show for New Year’s Eve (and New Year’s Eve Eve) was the most impressive show I’ve ever seen from a pyro-perspective. We viewed this show both nights from the Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower, which is probably the ultimate viewing-spot, as it puts
As I was editing photos late last night for our December 2011 Walt Disney World trip report (it’s coming soon, I promise!), I noticed this photo that I had given a lower-star rating, which generally relegates it to not being used or only being used in the trip report, but not as a “Photo of
Behind Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and behind Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom sits a sword in the stone. Guests frequently try to pull the sword from the stone, but even the strongest are unable. Merlin used to appear to pick a special child who had the power to pull the sword from the
