The wonders of life shutdown/refurbish project was like a time bomb. they had some great stuff in there like body wars (ahh, the priceless moments of people getting sick on a ride that didn't even move an inch forward or back, Mastercard can't buy those moments!) more than 3 years later, it's still ...

wow, i am shocked....that really doesn't make sense because fantasmic is one of WDW's biggest shows during off seasons ok, that would be logical, but during peak season too, now that's just plain crazy. the show brings in the crowds and it brings in the dinner guests (quite possibly, with all of the...

typically the wait times are very rough estimates using those random card/badges they use in the lines. but for soarin, the wait can't be less than 30 minutes on a normal day in august. We go in the last week of august (when a lot of kids are back in school) and the wait is still 60-80 minutes. i su...

i love mission space (both spinning and non spinning) it's just another thrill addition to epcot, which doesn't have a lot of thrill rides to begin with. the spinning is nice when i want that thrill, and the non spinning is good when my family wants to tag along (they hate the spinning motion, makes...

i took the tour about 4 years ago, and i must say, i liked it a lot...then again, i'm into plant sciences and bio tech. not many people take the tour in the first place, so it's a pretty quiet tour. the guides to seem to talk in a mono tone pre-recorded fashion, but then again, that's what most tour...

Hosted by 2 animatronic characters (1 professor, 1 assistant) who are trying to study the magic of disney films and what makes the...

I was 6 or 7 when i first went. I remember my parents telling me that it would be a lot of walking....but somehow i didn't realize how much walking i was doing because i was so caught up in the magic XD I guess you could say i enjoyed myself quite a bit. Didn't really understand the sheer power of t...

Couple of Things to Check Out - The fantastic view of the entire Magic Kingdom and Monorail Resorts, Disney does not let up on the grand decor. I suggest riding the entire monorail in a circuit to get the full effect - Gingerbread houses at the Grand Floridian - Watch out for a couple of rides (not ...

i voted for the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor because it just was a big let down for me

i understand that they were trying to integrate monsters inc into Magic Kingdom....but i think the imagineers went in completely the wrong direction with the show.

the fastpass system is a very effective system for the more popular rides at WDW. I myself use it when my ticket has the open time pocket. the system is as flexible as the person who uses it. you can use it whenever you can (like me), or you can casually use it on a ride you really want without worr...

after checking in, settling into the room, immediately head out into Magic Kingdom and go to either "Its a small world" or "Philhar Magic", every time, every time
