Lucky me!

I am writing to you from the lobby of one of my favorite hotels here at Walt Disney World - Disney's Grand Floridian. I cannot think of better place for a little inspiration to strike!

One of the greatest things about being a Florida resident is the Walt Disney World Annual Pass. The opportunity to have year round access to four theme parks, two water parks, DisneyQuest, ESPN Wide World of Sports and 9 holes of golf whenever I wish is something I think I'll never be able to do without. The fact that I can hop in my car and in just a few short miles, I'm driving into the "happiest place on earth" is something that many of my northern friends envy about me. And I'm telling you, there's not a lot about me to be envious of. Take today for example. I had lunch with some friends in Clermont (west of Disney) and since I was passing by on my way home, and since it had been a while 48 hours since my last visit, I thought it necessary to check in with my good friend Mickey. One monorail ride later, I found myself back in very familiar territory within the friendly confines of my Magic Kingdom. It was awesome! Even though I have been here over a thousand times (literally), I still had that sense of joy and elation that always overtakes me on each visit. The smells. The sights. The sounds. I must've looked like a goofball walking down Main Street with a smile even a grim grinning ghost would be jealous of!
I always say you can never have enough pictures of Cinderella's Castle. Don't you agree?
 
A trip to the Haunted Mansion is always on tap each visit! I'm thinking about putting in my application for happy haunt 1,000!

That is all for now! Just wanted to say hello! Stay Disney everybody!

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...

Greetings, fellow Disney enthusiasts! I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence from the website. Due to recent personal and professional changes, I have had to prioritize certain aspects of my life over my beloved hobby. However, I am determined to turn this passion into something even more significant in the near future. As a result, the website will be undergoing a much-needed redesign within the next month or so. During this time, no new updates will be available on the site. However, please feel free to stay up-to-date with any breaking news or updates by following my Twitter or Instagram feeds. I cannot express how much I appreciate your continued support and patience over the years. Together, we have come so far, and I assure you that the new design will provide the latest information and easier navigation. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and love.
