2018 Menu for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

August 2nd, 2018

The 2018 Menu for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival has been released, and I am so excited.  The food and wine festival is one of my absolutely favorite things at Walt Disney World. Between the cooking demos, the tastings,
the Eat to Beat Concert Series, and so much more this is something you do not want to miss. Every year the festival expands and is better than ever, and this year is no exception. The festival begins on August 30th and runs until November 12th. You will be able to taste your way around the world with an endless selection of food and beverages from over 30 marketplaces. Let’s get through a few things you need to know and then we will jump into the 2018 menu of food and drinks.

See You at Ohana!

See You at Ohana!

July 23rd, 2018

To any who know me it’s fairly obvious of where I rank good food on the hierarchy of important things. For those of you who don’t know me, well it’s pretty high up there. I love food. I can plan my entire week around good food. So it should come to no surprise that I am very big on Disney dining. It is one of my favorite things about planning our Disney trips (also the same as baseball stadiums but that’s another blog in itself.). I try to mix in my favorites while always trying to catch something new.

MyMagic+, MagicBands, and How They Work!

MyMagic+, MagicBands, and How They Work!

July 17th, 2018

MyMagic+ is taking your Walt Disney World Vacation to new levels. We wanted to give you a rundown on how to make the most of the MyMagic+ system. Take a look at some of the benefits of using the MyMagic+ system.

 

Online Planning:

Once your travel agent has booked your trip, you can go to the online system and link your reservations. If you are working with a travel professional who does your dining you should be able to see all of your dining reservations there as well, (if you don’t see it contact your travel professional so they can get them manually linked) if you are booking dining yourself you can do it right from that site. This is also where you will pre-select your FastPass+, more about that below.

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden Gems at Disney

May 28th, 2018

Hidden right in front of your eyes may be some of Disney’s best-kept secrets. It’s one of the things I love and appreciate so much about it. It is easy to get lost in the grander that is Disney, but for me, it’s the small touches that are right there under your nose that the majority of people probably overlook. For instance, have you ever noticed the peanut shells in the concrete near Dumbo’s Circus? What about the 13 lanterns hanging in the Liberty Tree to represent the original 13 colonies. Or the approximate 320 animals that make up the tree of life. I am not even going to try to give an approximate number of hidden Mickey’s in the parks and resorts.

Flight of Passage, Inside Pandora – The World of Avatar

Flight of passage Pandora the world of Avatar

I am going to start this out by saying that Flight of Passage is the best attraction that Disney has ever done. I’m usually the “count me out” kinda guy when it comes to rides. Though I have come a long way, I still would not consider me a thrill seeker by any stretch of the imagination. In fact on this particular trip when everyone else was excited about spending the day in Universal I decided to take my talents to the golf course instead.
