One thing you have to leave with after your magical trip to Walt Disney World is a souvenir.  Shopping experiences are plentiful at the parks, resorts and Downtown Disney.

Each park has shops scattered throughout to represent the world or country you are in.  At the Magic Kingdom, you’ll find everything from Agrabah Bazaar in  Adventureland, selling Aladdin type clothing and toys with other Arabian themed items to Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square that sells gifts, toys and ornaments all year round.  We often stop at the sleigh beside the shop and have a family photo made to put on our Christmas cards, even in the middle of summer.   Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: Fantastic Fantasmic!

Fantasmic! is one of my favorite night time fireworks shows at Walt Disney World.  This show is located at the end of Sunset Blvd. in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The 6,900 seat amphitheater is made of metal benches and has two shows a night on select evenings.  Be warned that sitting near the front could get you wet. There are fireworks, water effects, live characters, cannon explosions and balls of fire.  The water effects show scenes from the movie Fantasia on large water curtains.  Characters display scenes from popular Disney movies, like Pocahontas, and show the battle of good vs. evil.   Read more

My family has been to Walt Disney World several times, but until recently, we had never taken the time to sit back and enjoy any of the shows.   So I was bound and determined that on our last trip we would.  Though we only saw two, I think we picked the best ones there are.   Read more
