Disney Fun From Around the World: Week of June 6, 2011

Happy Weekend Disney friends! Hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are ready to kick back and enjoy some Disney blog magic! I have some great pixie-dusted articles for you today, so put your feet up, relax and enjoy! 🙂

Chip and Co. offered some great suggestions for the Top 5 Quick Service Restaurants . And then our friend Brenda provided some thoughts about a something that is a must-have tourist accessory…but Brenda asks that we reconsider: Fanny Packs: Please Just Say NO!

Disney Bird just returned from her trip where she had a great experience renting a stroller…and now has a great giveaway: Orlando Stroller Rentals Review & Giveaway!!

Have you ever taken the “Keys to the Kingdom” tour at Magic Kingdom? After this description from Disney Dispatch you might want to consider it: The Mouse Behind the Curtain

I got quite the chuckle from this post over on the Disney Driven Life: DISNEY TEN COMMANDMENTS. What Commandments would you add?

Kelly had, as usual, some really helpful and fun articles on her site, Disney Guru. First, she shared tips for Cheap Disney Souvenirs and then offered a couple of fun lists that she has started for future Disney trips: At Disney “I Will” & “I Will” Never

Magical Mouse Schoolhouse continues sharing how Disney can be fun AND educational at the same time in this series about Epcot World Showcase: Norway Pavilion

Looking forward to the next Walt Disney World resort? So are lots of folks. Theme Park Mom provided more details including pictures about Disney’s Art of Animation Resort: New Details

Last, if you have been following the story of The Relocated Tourist you will know that they are now settling in their new home near Walt Disney World! All that planning, and they are now living their dream. How exciting for them! Still, there are mundane details….and Amy shares how her family is Getting our Feet Wet in Orlando.

That’s it for this week everyone! Enjoy the time off and do something fun!

Wordless Wednesday: Main Street USA Windows

Walking down Main Street USA, while your gaze may be transfixed by that Castle at the end, take a few moments to look at the windows. The names of the “proprietors” of the Main Street shops are displayed….and you might find some of them quite interesting! 🙂

Many thanks to Brenda for this great photo!

My Favorite Disney Things: Iluminations – Reflections of Earth

I don’t know what it is about me and fireworks, but there is something about these nighttime shows of light, and music, and noise that just get me every time. I like fireworks in “general”….but nothing beats Disney when it comes to fireworks. And in my honest opinion, once you’ve seen Disney fireworks, you are pretty much spoiled for any other fireworks anywhere else.

I guess you could say that fireworks are truly one of my favorite Disney things. 🙂
