As I’ve told you before, you no longer need to be inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios to grab a spot in a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance. The first chance of the day opens at 7:00 each morning, well before the park opens. There’s something that I noticed the last time that I rode. […]

Yesterday I told you that a modified version of Park Hopper is going to return to Walt Disney World on January 1, 2021. This is indeed good news, and one step closer to “normal”. The problem is that the post from Disney Parks Blog was a bit vague on how things will work. It has […]

For the past couple of years, Sunset Seasons Greetings at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been one of my favorite things about the holidays at Walt Disney World. The Candlelight Processional has a slight edge, but I am in awe of both. I guess it doesn’t really matter which one I like better, because neither is […]
