We’re almost to the 60-day mark on our countdown to our first Disneyland trip and Disney vets will know what that means – time to make dining reservations! Since we know nothing about where and what to eat at the Disneyland resort, I turned to my panel of local experts and asked their opinions on [...]
One of the things I love most about Disney Parks is the amount of creativity and ingenuity that goes into creating their attractions. The Disney Imagineers, designers of the rides and shows at the parks, are known for pushing the envelope on what can and cannot be done to improve guests’ experiences in terms of [...]
We all know the song. Most of us could sing it in our sleep. Some of us can even sing the version from another country. We hate it; we love it. But I dare say that no other theme song is more recognizable than the one that plays over… and over…. and over again… at [...]

The model builder, who was looking for ways to cut costs, wanted to use regular glass and asked Walt, ”Who’ll know the difference?” Walt sternly replied, “I’ll know the difference.” In his book, Seen, Unseen [...]
