Whether it’s your first or hundred and first visit to the Magic Kingdom you can’t overestimate how much walking is involved. At some point in the day you will need to rest and, especially in the summer months, find a nice place to cool off. I have four perfect locations where you can do just that and they are home to the classic shows of the Magic Kingdom. Each has something that appeals to every age as well as seats and air conditioning! While they may not have the hills and thrills of the Mountain Range they deserve a [...]

The Magic Kingdom is the heart and soul of Walt Disney World. This is where you can rocket through space, hop on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness and splash 13 stories down into a Briar Patch. You can spin on tea cups, ride a mine train to see the Seven Dwarfs and fire laser guns to defeat the evil Emperor Zurg. As fun as all of that is, there are a few quieter attractions here that you’ll want to be sure not to miss. These may not spin you around, make you lose your stomach or get you wet [...]

travelmagicstg2023-09-29T18:17:10-04:00May 11, 2016|Dining, Disney Travel, Disney World|0 Comments

The Hoop Dee Doo Revue is a must see Dinner Show while visiting Walt Disney World! It’s a musical, vaudeville style show featuring lovable characters: Claire de Lune, Johnny Ringo, Dolly Drew, Six Bits Slocum, Flora Long and Jim Handy!

It’s a known fact that to get the first pick of reservation times at Disney restaurants, you have to book them six months in advance. But sometimes, we don’t always have the luxury of knowing when we are going to be on vacation, which often leads to a lack of availability at table service restaurants the closer it gets to your vacation dates! Quick service restaurants to the rescue! Not all theme park food consists of boring burgers, hot dogs, and French fries. Disney dining can be fun and adventurous – you just have to know where to go!

We had booked our vacation with a local travel agent – her services began and ended with making sure our resort and flights were taken care of, so I was left to plan all the details myself. Now, full disclosure – [...]

I had been looking for a great idea of something special we could do while in Walt Disney World when I heard about the new cruise offering, and I immediately booked us a spot. Since these cruises are new, I had no idea what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I was told we could board the boat an hour prior to Wishes, which was at 10:00 that night. We arrived at the Transportation and Ticket Center at 8:45, and were greeted by [...]
