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 [...]

Space Mountain
“Oh we went to the moon in 1969; not 1970 but a year before, uh-huh!” I still get stuck on the song from an old Disney Channel episode of “Even Stevens.” You may remember the episode. It featured book-smart Ren (Christy Carlson Romano of “Kim Possible”) in a musical dream sequence about her space travel [...]
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride
Photo via Disney Parks A visit to Disneyland Park can be a bit frenzied, especially if you’re along for a ride with Mr. Toad! Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, a 1955 opening day Disneyland attraction, recreates the excitement of J. Thaddeus Toad, Esquire’s journey in his first motorcar.

Peter Pan’s Flight
Photo courtesy Disney Day by Day Another timeless, classic Magic Kingdom attraction is Peter Pan’s Flight. There are often long lines and lengthy FastPass waits for this Fantasyland ride, because it appeals to absolutely everyone. I mean, who, at some point, has not wished to fly or hoped to prolong the adventures of childhood? At [...]
Space Mountain
Space Mountain photos via Disney’s PhotoPass Space Mountain was one of the first major attractions to debut at Walt Disney World Resort rather than at Disneyland. When it opened in December of 1974, it captured the spirit of the international space race that was occurring at the time, and it was a perfect fit for [...]

Time Warp Tuesday
Welcome back to Time Warp Tuesday! This week we’re traveling back to August of 2010 to see what Phineas and Ferb were doin’! Phineas and Ferb is one of the Disney Channel’s hottest shows. It’s perfect for this blog, because it’s obviously educational…it is, isn’t it? Alright, well, sort of! In case you’re unfamiliar, Phineas [...]
Toontown at Tokyo Disneyland Park
Tokyo Disneyland Park contains seven main “lands,” or separate themed areas. One of them is Toontown. It saddens me a little that Walt Disney World’s Toontown is closed for good, because as you can see with Tokyo’s version, it’s a great place for younger Guests to get a first experience with roller coasters. Lots of [...]
Toy Story Land
China’s Hong Kong Disneyland opened in September of 2005. A relatively small Park in comparison to its counterparts, the Resort is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Hong Kong Disneyland is laid out in traditional wheel-and-hub fashion, with Sleeping Beauty Castle at its center and five “lands” extending from the hub: Main Street [...]
Mickey’s Fun Wheel
Paradise Pier at California Adventure Park is the part of Disneyland Resort that most reminds me of classic seaside amusement parks. At first glance, Paradise Pier looks like a 1920s boardwalk revival. But up close, of course, Guests discover instead Disney’s spin on the traditional. What appears to be an old-time wooden roller coaster is [...]
