Last week we recounted my epic ride on the mythical Slinky Dog. Today we’re going back to Toy Story Land, but with something otherworldly in mind. Tucked in the back corner, near the adorably-themed restrooms and a nice open area where we witnessed the Army Men going through a drum practice and a bit of boot camp, is a ride I didn’t know what to think about when I first heard about it. Could it be like Mad Tea Party just with saucers instead of teacups? Could it be like the Scrambler, for those Virginians who know what I’m talking about? Could it be a new version of a hoverboard-type ride a la Luigi? I didn’t know.
Now I do.

Life is nothing without a little spontaneity, and that definitely applies to Disney trips. Can you imagine making a reservation for a vacation house a week before arrival? How about buying party tickets two days before you leave? Read more
With all the hullabaloo about Toy Story Land happening, everyone is hoping to get chosen and scooped up by The Claw, or fulfilling childhood dreams of riding a Slinky Dog along an Erector Set roller coaster. No? Only me? Well, the point is, all the attention is going to the new kids on the block, and many seem to be forgetting about our old friend, the Toy Story attraction that started it all in Hollywood Studios — it is very storyline appropriate, to be honest. We got a couple of new toys, and left our old one behind.
Not me. Not this girl, whose daughter now plays with 30-year-old Barbies in addition to her own. Nobody left behind. That’s why today we’re heading to the Toy Story OG — Toy Story Midway Mania. Read more
Planning a Disney vacation is one of the great joys of my life. I love getting down to the nitty-gritty with all the little details, having my days mapped out in front of me, and thinking about everything from what our room is going to look like, to what snacks we’ll discover, to when I’m climbing aboard my favorite rides. A big part of this, of course, is dreaming about my resort hotel. For others, all this planning and preparing sounds more like a nightmare.
Now what if we could combine both? Let’s go explore a fabulous, dreamy resort that is a true nightmare. I invite you to join me at Hollywood Studios and enter…the Twilight Zone. You can imagine me saying that in the deep Ron Sterling voice should you so wish. I so wish…so go ahead. Read more
