There are many special events that take place at the Disney World parks. Some are “official” events planned by the Disney company and some are not. This week we had the 45th anniversary of Magic Kingdom which was an official Disney event. We also had the final performance of the Main Street Electrical parade, and…
The fall season is in full swing here at Walt Disney World Florida. You’d never know from the weather since temperatures are hot as ever, but there are other signs. Orange and pumpkins can be seen everywhere on Main Street, the Halloween parties are three times a week (soon to be four nights in October)…
MegaCon is Orlando’s huge Comic, Sci-Fi, Fantasy Convention. This is the San Diego ComiCon for the East coast. This was my first time attending and I was expecting it to be gigantic, overwhelming and impressive. Turns out I was right. These type of Fandom inspired conventions have really gotten popular and the expected attendance for this…
Last night STK had a grand opening party at their new location at Disney Springs. I had intended this to be a review but that will have to come later. The party was very swanky, with a Miami club vibe. They tried hard to give this a very high-end, adult feel. Red carpet entry, girls…
This morning Disney Parks Blog was certainly busy, announcing many opening dates that we have all been waiting for.

Many of these didn’t yet have concrete opening times….

Dapper Day is one of several unofficial Disney events. Meaning Disney Parks has no involvement in the organizing of it, and…
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…
We visited Animal Kingdom Tuesday to see the latest progress on Rivers of Light. If you aren’t up to date on this attraction, this is the first ever nighttime show for Animal Kingdom, and the first part of Pandora that we get to see. Disney has their official info here. I won’t go into all the…
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…
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…
