A strange looking structure is being constructed on the top of the rumored Bay Lake Tower, Disney Vacation Club located north of the Contemporary Resort. This is strictly a RUMOR, but I have it on good authority that this will be a private, Magic Kingdom firework viewing area for DVC members staying at this resort. … Continue reading "Bay Lake Tower Observation Deck"

I was at the Marketplace at Downtown Disney recently and visited the Disney’s Days of Christmas Shop. While browsing, I noticed a cute sign with one of the “12 Days of Christmas” printed on it. It piqued my curiosity so I started to search for all twelve. To my dismay, I couldn’t find them. So … Continue reading "The Eight Days of Christmas and Little Bit More"
It’s amazing the things you can learn on the AllEars.net website. I was reading the Fact Sheet for the Polynesian Resort when I came across the “Torch Lighting Ceremony.” I had never heard of it, so I decided to investigate this event for myself. Each evening at 6pm (Tuesday – Saturday), one of the fire-dancers … Continue reading "Polynesian Resort Torch Lighting Ceremony"
During the postings of my Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney blogs, I received several emails from people asking me if it’s worth the trip to travel this vast distance to visit these parks. Ultimately, this would depend on your budget and how strong your desire is to experience the foreign Disney parks, but I will … Continue reading "Should you go to Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney?"
Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland
Posted onMuch of the architecture of Tokyo’s Tomorrowland is stuck in the 80’s. Actually, it’s stuck in the 70’s as it was copied after the Magic Kingdom at WDW – which was designed in the ’60’s. In other words, there are areas here that could definitely use a face lift like they did to the Tomorrowlands … Continue reading "Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland"
Toontown – Tokyo Disneyland
Posted onToontown Toontown is the community where carTOON characters live, shop, and play when not at a studio making movies. Inspired by the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” Toontown is a whacky place where very little makes sense and you never know what crazy thing might happen next. The entrance to Toontown is located at the … Continue reading "Toontown – Tokyo Disneyland"
I rank Pooh’s Hunny Hunt as one of my all time, world-wide favorite Disney attractions! And considering I’m not a big fan of Winnie the Pooh, that’s saying a lot. When I wrote about World Bazaar, I mentioned that I would talk about FASTPASS in a later blog. Well the time has come. FASTPASS works … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 2 – Tokyo Disneyland"
While I was out and about, I took a few pictures of the Bay Lake Tower under construction. This is a rumored DVC that sits prominently next to the Contemporary Resort. It appears that the structure has reached its ultimate height as finishing touches are being added to the top of the building. At the … Continue reading "Construction Photo Updates – Walt Disney World"
Just yesterday, I finally finished writing my last Tokyo Disneyland blog. It won’t be posted for at least another week or so, but now I’m free to return to Disney World and look for local things to report on. SIDE NOTE: The Tokyo Disneyland blog will resume in several days. If you need to catch … Continue reading "Trail End New Lunch Menu – Walt Disney World"
Fantasyland Part 1 Before I start my description of Fantasyland, I need to post a correction. My friend Katsumi, who lives in Tokyo, informs me that the Japanese do indeed wear shorts during the months of July and August when temperatures demand cooler attire. So feel free to don your lighter togs during this time. … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 1 – Tokyo Disneyland"
