Staying at the Swan/Dolphin was always a bit of a secret/bonus. The rates were on par if not a good deal lower than Moderate Resorts (not so much anymore), the location behind Epcot was excellent (also in a bit of a decline with all the surrounding resorts and the new Skyliner). More marked...

It's been a blockbuster year at ol' Disney World... The hits keep coming. https://blogmickey.com/2020/03/splash-mountain-evacuated-at-magic-kingdom

Its tenure at Epcot is done. The doors closed for the last time last night and today there are tarps over the signs. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I remember wandering around in there in the 80s, looking at shiny new Kodak Disc Cameras in the showcases against the wall. I may...

If you get the Freeform (FF) channel... There's a SWGE: Adventure Awaits on NOW (EST). Two hour special, with Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Hyland, Billy D. Williams, John Williams, Kaley Cuoco, Keegan Michael Key, Jay Leno, Miles Brown and more.

Used to be (or as I remember it)... You could get FP 60 days out at the Swan and Dolphin. Even says so on their website (see below). But in MDE, it's clear that it's only 30 days out. Disney's PoV is that the Swalphin isn't a proper "Disney Resort" and their policy obviously takes...

Y'all see this story? It's been making the rounds.

Hey gang! Looking for some clarification on these elusive "UK only" tickets. They're actually open to anyone in the UK/IE or EU, even if you're an American citizen as I understand it. You need to have an appropriate address overseas that the tickets (or vouchers?) can be mailed to, however...

A recent article on something we've all noticed around the 'World - the lack of bugs, namely mosquitoes. Nothing new for many but interesting just the same. Check out This Is Why You Never See Mosquitoes at Disney World where they list the countermeasures, which center around keeping water...

I've been a "Starwood Preferred Guest" (SPG) since 2012 with a five night stay at the Swan. Stayed again in 2018 for six nights. Staying again in 2019 at the Dolphin for ten nights. 🤩 The only points I got is for the middle trip, and somewhere along the way it switched from SPG to Marriott...

LOL...

<ahem> Pardon the pun. 🤣 I was looking at various aerial photos of the Magic Kingdom (by bioreconstruct) when I looked at the "berm project" specifically, as I hadn't heard anything in a while. I don't recall seeing any plans for the area either; basically a mystery still, yes? Then it...

In the last week, the Na'vi River Journey (and Flights of Passage) were down for three days. What I haven't seen mentioned is that PotC has also been down for about three days this week. I asked the CM and they were mum on details. No idea what's wrong, no idea when it's coming back... I...

Y'all see this? It made the rounds in December, so forgive me if you've seen this before... "Although this video was posted Theme Park University in December, it went viral on Facebook over the weekend." (03/12/18)

Disney tried to hide the Millennium Falcon with shipping containers — but it's on Google Maps Haha, oops.

Many have probably never seen this - or just forgotten about it. An official VHS tape from 1991 near the end of EPCOT Center's heyday... It never gets old, watching it. Seeing all the old attractions, costumes, etc. A Day at EPCOT Center

Now don't get me wrong... The main lodge @ Jambo House is beautiful and I really, really liked it. But a bunch of things left me rather... Underwhelmed. - Bus service: Poor - more so inbound than outbound. It seems we waited ages at EC, MK and AK for a bus. And they were more often than...
