Our adventures in the World
Saturday was my first time attending Disney’s Dapper Day at Walt Disney World. I’ve been seeing pictures of this event for years and was so excited to finally see what it was all about. Dapper Day is one of several unofficial Disney events. Meaning Disney Parks has no involvement in the organizing of it, and…
Yesterday (4-13-16) I went to Animal Kingdom to check out the progress on Pandora the World of Avatar construction (or Avatarland as originally called). This new land in Animal Kingdom is expected to open sometime next year. They have made a lot of progress recently! Even if you aren’t a big fan of the movie, the overall…
Construction has started in front of Cinderella’s Castle for the new castle show. As you know, Dream Along With Mickey finished it’s long, 10 year run recently. The next show, called Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire is set to begin this summer. They have taken down all the props and scenery for Dream Along and are beginning…
Saturday April 2nd the cast of Dream Along with Mickey took their final bows. The show has been a daily fixture on the Forecourt Stage of Cinderella’s Castle for 10 years. Many feel that Disney’s Magic Kingdom won’t be quite the same without it. It’s always hard when Disney brings something to an end. We…

Spring Break is starting and the holiday crowds make navigating the parks a real challenge. There are some people who only visit Disney World during high crowd times and assume it’s part of the Disney experience. It really is not. All though attendance has only gone up over the last several years, there are times when…
Many of you have seen my review of the opening night of Club Villain at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They originally scheduled it for mid-January to the end of February. After the initial reviews were overwhelmingly positive, it became the hottest special event ticket in Disney World. The value was certainly good at the $100 price…
It’s Spring time here at Walt Disney World! The weather has been so incredible. I really try hard not to brag about it too much so all my friends and family living in the cold north don’t hate me. But honestly, February and March has been the best time to be Living by Disney. (see…
Since moving to Orlando from Virginia I have created a bucket list of things I want to do in the parks. I wrote the list here: Disney Like a Local The Ultimate Bucket List. I have checked off my first item on the list: Character Day! The Character Day Challenge involves an entire day of…
