One of the most successful strategies for navigating Disneyworld in the time that you have is to have a real plan about how you are going to do everything, and minimize waiting in line.
Here is the best tip I know: Read the rest of this entry »
Club 33 is an urban legend that is actually true. It’s a private second floor club/restaurant in Disneyland (California) that serves alcohol, has excellent food, and was originally conceived as Walt’s apartment/office inside the park. It’s in New Orleans Square, at (where else?) 33 Royal Street.
The club now serves fine food, and is/was wired for animatronics– apparently Read the rest of this entry »
Having just come back from the Disney trek, I can highly recommend NOT gassing up your car across from the Thrifty car-rental place. It was a CITGO station, and seemed to be the only one around the off-airport car-rental places. While gas at the two Hess stations on the Disney property hovered around 2.91-2.99, they were charging (for regular unleaded) 3.49!
A .50 cent surcharge per gallon for being on a time schedule is not really acceptable.
Gas up at the Hess on property (it’s about a 10-15 mile ride or so, so your FULL indicator won’t waver) You can also gas up at a 7-11 one exit before the car-rental exit. Save yourself some money!
If you are going to DisneyWorld (well, any of the parks, but the Florida parks in particular) you are going to get wet (and I’m excluding Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Bay, or other WaterParks that you might attend) This is Florida, after all. It rains. A lot. Everyday, nearly. So get used to it.
Not to mention the fact that there are several water rides ( Splash Mountain, Kali River Rapids, to name two)
Here are some tips in order to have a pleasant time despite the rains:
This is the first post of which will hopefully be many.
I recently came back from a 8 day trip to Disney World (Orlando). While I was there, I was constantly amazed by how much I liked Disney. Not necessarily DisneyWorld, or the Disney resorts, or the cast of characters. I was really amazed by the vision that Walt Disney had, and how he had the ability to follow through on that vision. And it was fun for my girlfriend and myself to be there.
My hope is that this blog helps people understand and enjoy Disney as much as I do. I’m not so hep on Disney the corporation– I’m interested and excited by Disney the vision. (And of course, having a lot of fun in the parks! I’m all about cool amusement rides!)
So, buckle your seatbelt, pull tight on the strap, and enjoy the ride!
