There is a great family attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and that is Toy Story Midway Mania! Wildly popular since its opening, it is still the ride to make a mad dash to upon park opening as the wait can often climb to an hour and a half and Fastpasses are usually completely gone by noon.
As an avid Walt Disney World fan and frequent visitor I am always thinking about everything Disney World!! While I was doing a little Disney research a while back I stumbled upon some questions in a forum and they made me think . On a daily basis I am seeing hundreds of opinions from various Disney fans on every topic under the sun; restaurant thoughts, best snack options, best ride for x age, what time to hit what ride and so on and so forth. One thing that I notice is that we all look at Walt Disney World through very different eyes and what one may think is simply splendid, another may think is not so great! This very reason is why I believe that there is truly something for everyone at Walt Disney World!
So here are some Disney thoughts for you….

There I am waiting in line, feeling the anticipation of the wonderment that awaits me inside this beautiful theater. The line moves, there I am going in to grab my seat, with tissues in hand, I stake my place. I then wait patiently as my heart pounds with emotional excitement for the most wonderful 3D show Disney has every created. Read more
“They’re getting ready to drop it…are you ready?”
“Yes, I’m ready!”
“Here it comes….GO! GO! GO!”
That was a typical start to a day at the Magic Kingdom back when my sister and I visited as teens. We would be at the park as soon as it opened, make a mad dash to the rope, wait patiently for rope drop, and then book it straight to Space Mountain.
Space Mountain was our favorite ride back then. The most thrilling of all the rides at Magic Kingdom, bar none, and we loved it! It was impossible to ride without wasting hours of your day in line, unless you got there first thing. The ride has changed a lot since then, as we used to actually end up sitting in each other’s laps (ha), but 30+ years later, it remains an MK favorite to millions. Read more

As I sat down thinking about my favorite things at Walt Disney World my mind kept wandering to all the wonderful trips I have taken over the past 15 plus years. I was not lucky enough to visit Disney World until I was in my mid thirties, so I didn’t have the pleasure of enjoying it as a child – ok, at least not a child in years! I’m just one of the many older kids you see walking around Disney with a goofy looking grin on my face, skipping around the parks and looking every bit the kid I am inside.
