Wordless Wednesday: And That’s a Wrap…

photo (9)The announcement this past weekend that Disney will be bringing a brand new attraction featuring Mickey Mouse to Hollywood Studios was met with excitement by many who are eager to see the mouse that “started it all” have his own ride. Until it was shared that the last remaining attraction from the original “Disney-MGM Studios” – The Great Movie Ride- would be closing for good in just a few weeks in order to make room for Mickey’s new ride. Change is good but change is hard, and we will all miss taking this very special ride through the movies. Sadly, as they say in the movies, it looks like “that’s a wrap” for The Great Movie Ride. Thanks for the memories! Read more

Nancy Disney Fun, Wordless Wednesday , , , 0 Comment

photo (1)Now that the giant Sorcerer’s Hat has been removed as the focal point of Hollywood Studios, and the older more traditional “Earful Tower” is leaving as well, there has been a lot of discussion about what the new “icon” for Hollywood Studios will be! After all, Magic Kingdom has a Castle, Epcot has Spaceship Earth and Animal Kingdom has the Tree of Life….so will the Great Movie Ride become the new symbol of Hollywood Studios?

The Great Movie Ride Dinner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: The Experience

Editor:  Last week, my friend, Lisa Battista, author of Beyond the Attractions: A Guide to Walt Disney World with Preschoolers shared Part One of her recent experiences at a very special event. This weeks she concludes her delicious review.

In May, I received an email inviting me to “The Great Movie Ride Dinner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios” for Tables in Wonderland members. I rationalized the expense ($165 per person plus tax; gratuity included) as being a combined birthday / Father’s Day gift for my husband. Never mind that I was attending as well. I also assuaged my guilt by using Kelly’s tip to save 5% on the event. I used my Target REDcard to purchase Disney gift cards at Target, which I then used to prepay the dinner. Read more
