Studio Backlot Tour
One of my favorite places to take a break at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is on the Studio Backlot Tour. While the show is far from calm, it progresses at a leisurely pace and is a sit-down attraction—something my feet really appreciate during those long Disney days! The Tour begins at a special effects water tank [...]

Expedition Everest—Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
Alrighty, we have learned while we played at Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama, outrun extinction on DINOSAUR, and relaxed with a snack at the many eateries the Park has to offer.

Animal Kingdom’s DINOSAUR
Please welcome back our wondeRful assistant, Tiffany, with a look at Animal Kingdom’s DINOSAUR! Shhhhhhh! This is secret!
