Exploring Disney: Getting Splashy in Your Laughing Place

Everybody has a laughing place. You’ve heard that, right?

Well, if you’ve been to Disney, or you come from a bygone era that allows you to be familiar with Song of the South, you have. This is the sentiment that you will find at one of the most iconic classic Disney rides, and one that holds a special place in my heart…

Exploring Disney: Enjoying Some Hunny with Your Favorite Pooh

Since we just finished splashing around with Ariel, I thought that today’s exploration should bring us back to dry land while we continue to enjoy the classic stylings of Fantasyland.

It also happens to be the very first attraction that my little one chose to ride (and our first after PeopleMover). I present to you…The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Read more
