Disney’s FASTPASS system is a free way to “reserve” a time to enter a popular attraction and avoid the regular, long lines. Having been to the parks many times, I have seen many guests get confused about Disney FASTPASS and think that it is something you have to pay for. The good news is, it’s completely FREE! FASTPASS at Disney does not cost a single Continue reading Disney FASTPASS Information Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2011 at the Walt Disney World resort is fast approaching, and for those of you hungry for more information (pun fully intended), we have access to the full line up of country marketplaces that will be present at this year’s festival and their menus. This year, there are a full 30 different marketplaces set up around the Epcot World Continue reading Disney Vacation – 2011 Food & Wine Festival Marketplaces and Menus Ride Raves – Disney Part 5: DisneyQuest Disney’s DisneyQuest is a fairly lesser-known mini ‘theme park’ located in Downtown Disney. It’s right next to Cirque du Soleil and near the (relatively new) hot air balloon ride. It looks pretty small from the outside, but it contains within its windowless walls 5 floors of rides, games, and restaurants. Most of it is based on virtual reality Continue reading Disney World – Ride Raves 5: DisneyQuest Part 3: Disney’s Hollywood Studios I don’t usually go to this park, mostly because many of the rides are fairly crowded on my days off. However, there are several attractions that I go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios just to see! Beauty and the Beast This is a condensed musical version of the classic Disney movie, and has some extra jokes, beautiful (and Continue reading Disney World Vacations: Ride Raves – Disney Part 3 Part 2: Epcot Here’s the second half of the Epcot section! 2. World Showcase Most of the ‘attractions’ here are the buildings, history, and food; especially during the Food and Wine festival and the Flower and Gardens Festival- but there are some rides that aren’t to be missed. Mexico Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros This is one of the best rides Continue reading Disney World Vacations: Ride Raves – Disney Part 2.5 Part 2: Epcot As you will soon see, Epcot’s list is long enough to split into two posts- Epcot is, and has always been, my favorite of the four Disney World theme parks! 1: Future World Spaceship Earth It’s impossible not to find this ride- it’s located inside the giant Epcot ball! It features a look into the past, present, and future of Continue reading Disney World Vacations: Ride Raves – Disney Part 2 Part 1: Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion The Haunted Mansion is by far one of the most fascinating rides at Disney World. The technology used in the ride, especially considering that the ride opened far before today’s sophisticated methods, is mind boggling. My favorite effects are the vases with projected faces that follow you as you ride past, and the ghostly waltz- which, even Continue reading Disney World Vacations: Ride Raves – Disney World Part 1 I cannot wait for the new Fantasyland expansion that’s scheduled at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom! It seems that there is often something new popping up here in Orlando, Florida- the most recent few being SeaWorld’s Aquatica theme park, Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening next month, and Disney World’s Fantasyland expansion plans due to be completed 2012-2013. Cinderella will be seen in her old home Continue reading Disney World – New Attractions Coming 2012 Often overlooked in the past, Disney’s Animal Kingdom has gotten some attention over the years for their animal births. The park specializes in many threatened or endangered species. Since the park opening in 1998, the births include a siamang, giraffes, white rhinos, an okapi, five Micronesian Kingfishers (there are only 68 left in the world!), and many, many more. Since 2003, three African elephants were born- Continue reading Disney’s Animal Kingdom Florida Vacations are expensive! but this may surprise you: one of the biggest expenses in the parks- especially in summer- is water. Water is available all over the place, but at a price. Water bottles can cost over $2.50 at the theme parks. For a family of four going to the parks for five days, that’s at least $50 right there- IF everyone only Continue reading Florida Vacations – The Best Money Saver is water |
