Epcot: Japan Pavilion

travelmagicstg2014-03-14T07:00:00-04:00March 14, 2014|Disney World, Epcot|0 Comments

It's no secret I'm a huge Epcot fan! I absolutely love it! My family usually spends DAYS touring Epcot. People are often surprised by this as the misconception is there's not a lot for kids to do but I completely disagree! One of my favorite things to do at Epcot is to walk around World Showcase. I love strolling around, feeling completely immersed as I go in and out of each of the countries. One of my favorite pavilions to visit is Japan and here are some reasons why! Khaki Gori: I love this stuff and to be honest, I'm [...]

Secrets of Disney’s Animal Kingdom

travelmagicstg2014-03-10T07:00:00-04:00March 10, 2014|Animal Kingdom, Disney World|0 Comments

Animal Kingdom is Walt Disney World’s newest theme park and, at 500 acres, also its largest. This is not a park filled with high speed rides (although there are a few), this is a park that transports you to African Safaris, the prehistoric era, Asian jungles and temples and ties them all together as only Disney can. The center of Animal Kingdom is the majestic Tree of Life. There are over 300 animals carved into the side of the tree. There are over 100,000 synthetic leaves that were all attached by hand. Back during its construction, conservationist Jane Goodall visited [...]

People often ask me, “Downtown Disney, YAY or NAY?” Let me take a moment to explain why Downtown Disney is definitely a YAY for your Disney Trip. 1. No admission fee! No tickets are needed to enter and explore the marketplace. Downtown Disney is always the first excursion we take during our Disney trips because the low-key atmosphere is perfect after a long day of traveling. 2. Parking is FREE! Not driving? No worries. Downtown Disney is a stop of the Disney Transportation system. 3. Food! Downtown Disney offers yummy dining options that are even covered on Disney dining plans. [...]

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort – more than just a place to sleep!

travelmagicstg2023-10-23T16:32:14-04:00March 5, 2014|Disney World, Resorts|0 Comments

When you visit Walt Disney World in Florida, it’s tempting to fill every day with the great theme parks and water parks. But it’s a great idea to slow down and experience a day just exploring your resort hotel, too. I did this recently at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and found that they have a lot to offer for a peaceful day off! We started with a walk around the lobby. We enjoyed the great fireplace with its interesting decorative touches (the hinges on the screen look like quivers of arrows!), the fountain and bridge, and the sets of dominoes that [...]
