It’s WALT Disney World

Posted November 30, 2018November 30, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Walt Disney World 101: A Guide for the Overwhelmed, WDW Blog

One thing that you probably have not noticed when I write either here or for Disney Dining is that I will always say “Walt Disney World”. Sure, sometimes I’ll write just “Disney”, but if I use the name, I’ll use the whole thing. I won’t shorten it to “Disney World”. (Okay, I did there, but […]

Ten Second Tip: Rainforest Cafe – Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs

Posted November 30, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Disney Springs, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Ten Second Tips

If you’ve looked on the Walt Disney World website and seen Rainforest Cafe twice, it’s not a mistake. There are two locations; one at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the other at Disney Springs. The Disney Springs location does not serve breakfast, so you’ll need to head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in order to get your […]

No New Year’s Eve Plans?

Posted November 29, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Disney Springs, WDW Blog

If you’re going to be at Walt Disney World on New Year’s Eve but aren’t sure if you want to face the theme park crowds, there is another option. The Edison at Disney Springs will be hosting a party of their own. New Year’s Eve 2019 at The Edison will start at 7:30. The cost […]

Ten Second Tip: Rain and Shelter

Posted November 29, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Ten Second Tips

When the rain moves in, the automatic reaction is to race to shelter. Many people will run into a store and wait for the storm to pass, especially since the rain does not usually last long in Central Florida. There’s nothing wrong with that, but please don’t block the doorway. Others are going to want […]

Want to See the Candlelight Processional?

Posted November 28, 2018November 28, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Epcot, WDW Blog

The past couple of days I’ve talked a bit about the Candlelight Processional at Epcot. It’s one of my favorite events at Walt Disney World. I’ve gone twice already this year, and I’m planning on going two more times before this week is over. I adore the experience, and the list of celebrity narrators this […]

Ten Second Tip: Talking During Live Performances

Posted November 28, 2018January 15, 2019 Paula BrownPosted in Ten Second Tips

If you’re watching a live performance, it’s okay to whisper something to the person next to you from time to time. That said (pun not intended), please do not hold a conversation, especially using your normal volume. (This tip is dedicated to the couple who sat two rows behind us at the Candlelight Processional yesterday.)

The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays is in full swing. On Monday, November 26, I covered a media event for Disney Dining. You can read my write-up here.

Ten Second Tip: Cold Front – Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon

Posted November 27, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Disney Water Parks, Ten Second Tips

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon will be closed today through Friday, November 30 because of the cold front that has hit the area. The pools are heated, but remember that you have to walk from one attraction to the next in a wet bathing suit, and no one wants to do that when it’s not even 60 […]

Grammar and the Castle

Posted November 26, 2018November 26, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in WDW Blog

The other day I got into a conversation with someone about a common misconception. She had no idea that Cinderella’s Castle is really Cinderella Castle. People make this mistake on the news, on websites, even Instagram Locations does not have this one right. The correct name is Cinderella Castle; if you don’t believe me check […]

Ten Second Tip: Meeting Santa

Posted November 26, 2018 Paula BrownPosted in Walt Disney World 101: A Guide for the Overwhelmed

If you want to include a visit with Saint Nick this holiday season, you can find him at three of the four theme parks and Disney Springs. (He doesn’t greet at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.) Remember though that he has a schedule to keep, so the Santa greetings run only through December 24. He has something […]
