Farewell Illuminations – We Go On

Nancy What to Do at Disney World , , , 0 Comment

Good evening. And welcome! We’re gathered here tonight, around the fire — as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us — to share the light, and to share a story. An amazing story as old as time itself, but still being written. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We hope you enjoy our story tonight: Reflections of Earth. (Blows out the lights.)

And so, for the past 20 years, every evening at Epcot has ended like this, with Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Read more

In the last few months we have discussed a number of “favorite” rides and attractions – for kids of all ages – at Walt Disney World. However, in doing this I purposely omitted anything about Epcot’s World Showcase because to me, World Showcase is a hidden jewel and so deserves a couple of blog articles all it’s own!  There is so much to do, see, try, taste and experience around this “World”, so let’s explore a little deeper into my World Showcase over the next couple of weeks. Today, we are going to walk across the bridge into this area and go to the right, where will find our first country.  Read more

What Makes a Disney Cruise Special?

Nancy Disney Cruises, Disney Vacation Planning, Terrific Tuesdays , , , , , , , 0 Comment

I’ve said on a number of occasions that I think a Disney cruise vacation is one of the best vacations there is. Combining the Disney service and special touches with an all inclusive vacation is pretty magical. And with cruises from 3 nights to 9 or more, and itineraries that are literally all around the world, there is truly something for everyone. Even better, by booking far in advance (a year or more) you can have the double benefit of the lowest prices and more time to pay it off! Read more
