Is it really necessary to compare the two newest expansions at Disney's theme parks? I didn't think so at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I heard a resounding "yes!"

Although the soda machine was out of order, the water we craved, the seating our feet needed, and the charging… Continue reading Nobility has a name: Casey Noble at Epcot

This year marks the debut of two small features that for many festival goers will make conquering… Continue reading Mini Enhancements to the 2012 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
There is a somewhat hidden gem inside Disney's Hollywood Studios. In my list of must-dos in Disney's Hollywood Studios I have to put a visit to The Magic of Disney Animation towards the top, right under One Man's Dream. Once the home to an actual Disney Animation studio, The Magic of Disney Animation offers a trip… Continue reading Drawn to Disney’s Animation Academy
