EPCOT is my favorite park and where I spend most of my time. One of the main reasons is IllumiNations! This fireworks/fire show is one of a kind, partly due to the giant earth that is floated out each day for the finale at the end of the night! Read more

Thursday Thoughts: Saying Good Bye to an Old Friend

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

A big question I got during my time working the fireworks was, “Where is the best place to watch the fireworks?”  Unlike most people, I don’t have a simple answer. Read more
