Disney Vacation Planning: Choosing Your Disney Resort

Choosing where to stay on a Disney vacation is one of the most discussed and researched parts of planning a trip to Walt Disney World. Of course it’s easy to understand why, as the cost is a huge part of a Disney vacation budget. But I have also found that most folks are also looking at things beyond just cost: theme, amenities, location, and transportation are just a few of the things people consider when deciding on a Disney hotel or resort property.

Take a Ride on the New Test Track!

Somewhat lost a bit in all the news about the New Fantasyland opening…is the fact that Test Track…a huge favorite over at Epcot….is back! And it looks awesome!

According to Disney, the new “reimagined” Test Track puts Guests “at the designer’s table for a multisensory experience as they create their own virtual concept vehicle before boarding a “SimCar” to race through a thrilling series of hills, hairpin turns and straightaways. The attraction zooms in on how meticulous vehicle design influences top performance on the open road and lets guests see how their virtual cars would perform.”

And if you, like me, are a huge fan of Test Track, then check out the video below to get an idea of what to expect:
