If you have ever wanted to fly in a magical pirate ship, Peter Pan’s Flight is the perfect attraction for you.

This pirate ship runs on Disney magic and pixie dust. Included in this attraction are many scenes from the original animated film. Read more
Friends, we are less than 50 days away from enjoying our next adventure at our favorite vacation destination – the Walt Disney World Resort! I get too excited myself to ever keep Disney trips a secret from my kids (although this is a Disney bucket list goal that I have…someday) so we just enjoy counting down the days. At the 180 day mark, we make our dining reservations and that’s when things start to get serious for us. By 60 days, we know which park we will be in on which day and make our FastPass+ reservations online bright and early at 7 am. This time, I got everything we wanted. We are really excited to check out everything new at Animal Kingdom and feeling a little sad that The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios will be closed by the time we arrive. Read more

Once upon a time we drove to Walt Disney World. There are of course, a number of pros and cons to doing this, but one of the pros, in my opinion, was having a car while we were visiting the parks. It allowed us the freedom to come and go when and how we wanted, no waiting for a bus, no standing, just get in your car and go. For the planner/control freak that I tend to be, it was perfect. 🙂
Then we started flying….but still unwilling to give up my car freedom, we also rented a car for our time in Florida. You know, to have “just in case”. Just in case of what, I am not certain, but we had the car anyway. Just In Case.
However the cost of airfare PLUS the cost of renting a car starts to add up….and if there is anything I want to do more than be in control, it’s save money. So we ditched the car rental about a dozen Disney vacations ago.
That’s when I fell in love with Disney’s Magical Express….and learned how to let go and leave the driving to Disney. And I gotta tell ya, it really works! 🙂
If you are staying in a Walt Disney World resort, and have never used Magical Express before, let me share with you just how easy and convenient it is.
Come on along as we follow Br’er Rabbit and his friends on his adventures through the bayou and listen to some of the great songs from Song of the South, such a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and Everybody’s got a Laughing Place. I will bet that by the end of the ride, you will have one of those songs playing in your head the rest of the day! Read more
