Terrific Tuesdays: How a Ride Wimp Soars to Disney Thrills

Nancy Disney Vacation Planning, Disney Vacation Tips, My Favorite Disney Things, What to Do at Disney World , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

I have shared in the past that I am a certifiable Ride Wimp. And apparently, as I have found out since sharing my guilty little secret, there are more than a few of us out there…..TONS as a matter of fact. 🙂  Who knew?

But it’s not like I am *no* fun at all at Disney World. I may be a Ride Wimp, but I can get some thrills at Disney World too. Because really, just because one is a Ride Wimp, doesn’t mean that we can’t have some excitement too: we’re not all slow, boring, “Wow-its-a-small-world-rocks” kind of people! Read more

Terrific Tuesday: Future World Attractions

As you walk through the gates of Epcot, you enter the Future World.  The first attraction encountered is the giant sphere that houses Spaceship Earth.  Here you’ll take a ride through the centuries and learn about the history of communication.  You will also create your own future with the touch screen computer located in your “car”.  Following the ride, there is an interactive post show where visitors can play virtual reality games and even send your trip to the future via email post card home to friends and family.  Read more

True Confessions of a Disney Ride Wimp…

This week, it’s Disney confessional time. We all have them: something about Disney that, well, we don’t necessarily share because others ….just…might…not….understand.

Maybe you (gasp!) don’t actually like Dole Whips. Or are not fond of Pirates of the Caribbean. Or perhaps the idea of a Character meal makes you cringe. Whatever yours is, I am encouraging you to come clean this week. Let us all know. It’s ok, really! You’ll feel better by sharing. 🙂 And to help…I’ll start.

I am a Disney Ride-Wimp. Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Soarin’

Nancy Wordless Wednesday , , , , 0 Comment

Everyone has their favorite ride or attraction at Walt Disney World…that one ride that you can go on over and over and over again, and never get tired of it. The ride that just makes you smile, and instantly takes you to your “happy place” when you think about it, even though you may be thousands of miles away.

That ride for me is Soarin’. 🙂

Best Use of My Disney Fast Pass: Part 4, EPCOT

Brenda What to Do at Disney World , , , , , , 0 Comment

Author’s Note: This 4-part series answers the question: when you are trying to make the most of your limited time at the parks, and the crowds are maddening, there may be times when you will have to choose which favorite ride you will get a fast pass for that day.  What would that ride be? Well, I definitely have my favorites at every park, each of which is covered under this title with parts 1-4.

When I only have limited time at EPCOT, I will always choose Soarin’ as my fast pass. This is a fantastic ride for Disney fans. Located inside The Land pavilion in Future World, Soarin’ is a feast for the senses. The ride simulates a peaceful hang-gliding flight over California.

The queue utilizes an infrared technology that allows us to participate in interactive games. Once we are through the line and are placed in our rows, we can view some of the scenes from California and receive a short demonstration on the screen of what we should do once we are allowed in to find our seats.
