One of the things that has always fascinated me, is all of those amazing details that you find everywhere at a Disney park or resort, and how much they can add to a vacation experience. So with that in mind, I thought I would use today’s post to talk a little bit more about Disney detail magic, and how incredible it is – if you take the time to look. 🙂 Read more
Some say you could spend everyday of a full year in Walt Disney World and finally get to see everything there is to offer. I disagree. Part of the Wonder and magic of Disney is that it is always changing, progressing, and growing. It was Walt’s vision that his magnificent project would never truly be finished. As long as there was imagination in the world, he contended, the parks would never stop changing. Even if there was a halt to the progress, however, I still don’t think a year would be enough to see and do it all, and that’s because of all the amazing little hidden details and secrets tucked throughout the rides and parks just waiting to be discovered. These are rarely shown off, never advertised, but that makes them all the more delightful. A few weeks ago we went on a scavenger hunt together, and today I’ve put together another for you so you can make your next visit to the world full of richer, more immersive detail.

We all know that Disney pays great attention to design and detail….and yet we often are so focused on the “stars” of a ride or attraction, that it is easy to miss the background or scenery. Disney creates drama like no one else: staff are Cast Members, and they are not at work but are on stage. So next time you check out a ride or attraction, look beyond the main event, and check out the background: the stage that has been set for you is always quite amazing! Read more
One of my goals on my visits to Walt Disney World is to notice the details. Some are small, and some are pretty big…but fun, beautiful, and interesting details are everywhere at the Disney parks. A favorite of mine is the mosaic leading into the Land Pavilion at Epcot; it is just beautiful! The next time you head over to Soarin’, take a few minutes to check this out first! Read more
