One of Walt Disney’s guiding philosophies as he built Disneyland (and the Disney brand in general) is that the Disney company should always be ready to “try something new”. In fact, one of my favorite Walt Disney quotes speaks to just this:

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

I think it is safe to say that this continues to be one of the missions of the Disney company – whether movies or theme parks – there is always something new. Of course, that is a big part of what keeps us going back to the Disney parks, because there is ALWAYS something new to see or do! Read more

The next time you’re walking down Main Street at the Magic Kingdom, be on the lookout for Cast Members with brooms! Most are there keeping the park clean, but there are a few there that may provide a little entertainment with a broom and water as well. The sun doesn’t usually allow them to last very long but if you are lucky enough to see one, you will be amazed to see how these talented Cast Members create pieces of water art! Read more

There it is at the end of Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios: the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Looks imposing although a bit rundown by day, but how bad could it be, right?

Disney knows a good thing when they have it, and with the huge success of fall’s Food and Wine Festival, and spring’s Flower and Garden Festival, there is a new festival in town this year and it sounds super cool! The Epcot International Festival of the Arts is the ultimate cultural celebration as food, art and entertainment perfectly merge into an event to be held weekends, from January 13 to February 20.
