A different version of the “Main Street Electrical Parade” was created Continue reading Disney’s Magic Kingdom – Electric Street Parade Ends Tomorrow The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is quite the hit, and has been every year since it began.

I also mentioned the GAC, Continue reading Disney World – Guest Assistance Cards Disney has a new resort in the works for its Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
