Thankful for the Many Magical Memories

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States, and as we near the end of 2021 – and after nearly 2 years of a pandemic that is still with us – counting blessings seems even more important than ever. For those of us who have had the chance to experience “Disney magic” at the parks, we know that magic provides us with far more than the chance to meet a Mouse or enjoy a Dole Whip. So, in the spirit of gratitude, I am re-running some thoughts I have shared in the past on why that Disney magic is one of the many things I will always be thankful for. Wishing you a a wonderful, safe, and magical Thanksgiving!

As Disney shared their plans, we learned quite a bit about how they plan to operate their parks in order to protect the health of both Guests and Cast Members, and it has been a LOT of information!

So with that in mind, I thought I’d take a few minutes today to summarize the main points of what we know -so far: Read more

Happy Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day, as we pause today to honor and remember those who have given their lives to defend our freedom, I am reminded of this quote from Walt Disney:

“I believe that this spiritual and intellectual freedom which we Americans enjoy is our greatest cultural blessing. Therefore, it seems to me, that the first duty of culture is to defend freedom and resist all tyranny.”   Read more

Peace and Beauty With the Beasts at Animal Kingdom Lodge

There is just so much to explore at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge that you could spend quite a bit of time here and really not even go to the parks. In fact, I would highly recommend this resort as a place to go to get away from it all for a lovely, relaxing weekend – no theme parks required.

So what all will you find at the Animal Kingdom Lodge?
