Last week we recounted my epic ride on the mythical Slinky Dog. Today we’re going back to Toy Story Land, but with something otherworldly in mind. Tucked in the back corner, near the adorably-themed restrooms and a nice open area where we witnessed the Army Men going through a drum practice and a bit of boot camp, is a ride I didn’t know what to think about when I first heard about it. Could it be like Mad Tea Party just with saucers instead of teacups? Could it be like the Scrambler, for those Virginians who know what I’m talking about? Could it be a new version of a hoverboard-type ride a la Luigi? I didn’t know.

Now I do.

No to all of them. Read more

There’s nothing like Halloween at Disney World. I love Halloween no matter where I am, but there’s something extra special about this time of year in the Most Magical Place on Earth. If you’ve been with me for a while, you know it’s so special to me I spent my anniversary (the day before Halloween) in Disney a couple of years ago. There are many things about autumn in the parks that are indescribably wonderful, but one that never fails to give me chills is the special Halloween-themed fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Read more

Our hearts were breaking each night as we watched updates of the hurricane force winds destroying property and creating flooding in Texas, Cuba, Florida, Puerto Rico, and all the other affected islands.

With all the hullabaloo about Toy Story Land happening, everyone is hoping to get chosen and scooped up by The Claw, or fulfilling childhood dreams of riding a Slinky Dog along an Erector Set roller coaster. No? Only me? Well, the point is, all the attention is going to the new kids on the block, and many seem to be forgetting about our old friend, the Toy Story attraction that started it all in Hollywood Studios — it is very storyline appropriate, to be honest. We got a couple of new toys, and left our old one behind.

Not me. Not this girl, whose daughter now plays with 30-year-old Barbies in addition to her own. Nobody left behind. That’s why today we’re heading to the Toy Story OG — Toy Story Midway Mania. Read more
