Early Morning Magic Hour at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

What is Early Morning Magic Hour? Walt Disney World offers an extra hour in various parks for Disney Resort guests. It’s a perk of paying that little extra to stay at a Disney Resort to get into the Magic Kingdom or one of the other three parks an hour before all the other guests can arrive. Walt Disney World also offers Extra Evening Magic Hours for some parks. But recently, Walt Disney World began offering the opportunity for anyone to take advantage of Early Morning Magic Hours for a price at some of their parks. Anyone can purchase tickets [...]

When discussing our 2015 Walt Disney World trip, we realized that his birthday fell on a Saturday during the last Star Wars Weekend at Walt Disney World.

FastPass at Disneyland/California Adventure Will Help You Go Fast!

Most of you know that I love Disneyland. I don’t want Walt Disney World to feel slighted by me, but I love Disneyland just a little more. One of the reasons I feel this way is because of the FastPass system at Disneyland.

At Walt Disney World, you definitely need the help of a travel agent (call me, I’m glad to oblige) to navigate the system. The system at Disneyland is just a bit simpler. (By [...]

From the time Star Tours debuted at Disneyland Park in 1987 and at Walt Disney World Resort in 1989 until the attraction went dark for "reimagining" in fall 2010, guests embarked on a journey to the Moon of Endor and beyond, with a trainee pilot named REX at the controls of 40-passenger Starspeeder 3000 spacecraft. Now the Star Tours attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida (scheduled to reopen May 20) and at Disneyland Park in California (scheduled to reopen June 3) puts a whole new twist on virtual space travel with Starspeeder 1000 craft -- predating the Starspeeder 3000 [...]
