Disney’s FastPass vs. Waiting in Line

Call me crazy, but Disney’s fast pass service is something that we have never and will never use. For some, this is the most convenient and efficient way to see everything that Disney has to offer. I can remember vacationing to Disney as a little girl and standing hours and hours in anticipation waiting for our turn to ride. It made waiting for the attraction so worth it.  It was what made Disney for us… well, Disney. You stand in lines and you wait. That is how we have always seen Disney. Now that Disney has fast pass, you can get your stub and return to the line later with little or no wait. Read more

My Favorite Disney Things: Bird’s Favorite Things are the Feelings

My favorite Disney things, eh? That should be pretty easy… except it’s not. I’m not sure I could tell you what my favorite ride is or my favorite restaurant, because there are something I LOVE about each one of them so far. For instance, if you’d ask what my favorite roller coaster was, I might say I love Space Mountain for the thrills and fun of not seeing the next turn or drop coming. But in my heart my favorite would have to be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad because not only was it my first roller coaster, but this past May I also got to share the “first roller coaster” experience with my daughter, who also just loved it! Oh, and Rockin’ Roller Coaster- soo fun! How can you pick your favorites? There’s so much to love!
