travelmagicstg2017-11-23T06:00:07-05:00November 23, 2017|Magic Kingdom|

“There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day.” These words of hope and optimism open the longest running stage show in the history of American theater – Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. Located in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom this show is said to be Mr. Disney’s personal favorite imagineering project. Carousel of Progress was originally featured at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. It was so popular that it was moved to Disneyland where it played from 1967 to 1973. In 1975 the show was moved to Walt Disney World where it remains [...]

If you like the idea of an old New England Yacht Club, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort at Walt Disney World may be the place for you. We stayed at this great resort last year and I wrote about several reasons you might want to stay there. Click here to read that article. This year when we returned to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we were surprised at the transformation of the guest rooms. While the rooms definitely felt more upscale this year, they also felt a bit more generic. My husband commented on how, if he didn’t know any better, [...]

Liberty Tree Tavern Lunch

travelmagicstg2023-10-06T22:10:08-04:00November 16, 2017|Magic Kingdom|

Tucked away in beautiful Liberty Square is a quaint little restaurant called Liberty Tree Tavern. Open for lunch and dinner in the Magic Kingdom, it’s a great spot to cool off, rest your feet, and fill your belly. The décor is very historical and has a colonial vibe, and the cast members wear adorable costumes. Each “room” has a name, and on this trip we were seated in the Ben Franklin room at my favorite table in the restaurant, a cute little table for two at the window. In the past when we have eaten here, the whole menu has [...]

Top 10 Reasons to Camp at Fort Wilderness

travelmagicstg2023-10-06T22:07:01-04:00November 2, 2017|Disney World|

Maybe you love the great outdoors, or maybe “glamping” is more your style. Either way, experience a different side of Disney – by camping at Fort Wilderness! I have a secret: my husband used to hate Disney. I dragged him on his first trip a few years ago, right after he came home from a military deployment. We stayed at one of the most crowded resorts and I made him stay in the parks from rope drop to park closing. Sure, we had fun, but he definitely wasn’t begging to go back. When I had the Disney itch again, we [...]

Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine

travelmagicstg2017-10-03T06:00:30-04:00October 3, 2017|Hollywood Studios|

During the fall months at Disney’s Hollywood and Vine restaurant, you can attend a special dinner called Minnie’s Halloween Dine, at Hollywood Studios. This dinner is special not only because you get to see five of the most popular Disney characters, but because they are dressed up in adorable Halloween costumes. It’s a great way to get you in the Halloween mood! Also, the food has a Halloween “twist” to it as well. Take a look: The food was excellent, and I would say possibly the best character buffet food I have had at Walt Disney World. Some of the [...]

The Characters of Cape May Café Breakfast Buffet

travelmagicstg2023-10-05T17:43:19-04:00September 26, 2017|Dining|

Cape May Breakfast buffet is located at Disney’s Beach Club resort. It has a fun, sunny atmosphere and is easy to get to right off the lobby. The restaurant is surrounded by colorful beach umbrellas, and you may even see some sandcastles. The food is delicious with a super fun waffle station with toppings, omelets, fruit, and the best cheese grits I’ve had on property. However, the stars of the show are the characters you will get to see at your table while dining. When we visited recently, we were told by our server who we would see, and [...]
