I rode this Magic Kingdom classic for the first time just a few years ago. Not sure why I never rode it before, but on this particular trip we had our 5 year old granddaughter with us who was very excited to ride Dumbo, and as we both found out, it was a lot of fun! Read more
Walt Disney World recently completed a major expansion of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, with the addition of the Gran Destino Tower – and after touring it last month, I can tell you that it is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Inspired by the adventurous spirit of great Spanish explorers and historic innovative Spanish artists, writers and architects, Gran Destino Tower is now the main entrance for Coronado Springs and added 545 new guest rooms (including 50 suites!) to the 1,800-plus existing rooms at this resort.

We took our first big family Walt Disney World vacation when our kids were 2 and 3 years old.

But along with all of this, there are two truly interactive experiences there that, while not free, are really cool experiences. In one of them, Guests can create their own lightsaber. While that sounded interesting, it was the other one that really caught my eye, and was the one that I signed up to do. And as it turned out, it was literally one of the most fun things I’ve done at Walt Disney World in all the years I’ve gone. And that’s saying a lot. Read more
