If you have ever seen any of the pictures I've taken, you know that I am no photographer. However, I have always appreciated and been in awe of those who manage to take great photos. For me, this is especially true when the subject of the photos I'm looking at are of Walt Disney World. Fairly recently I stumbled on to the photo's of Tim Devine. Tim has a great website called "The Magic in Pixels" which contains hundreds of Disney…

Many of us all loved the original Star Tours at Hollywood Studios. Now Star Tours has been redone and will feature new adventures, planets and characters all in 3D.

Our family will be returning to Walt Disney World for a few days in July before we embark for our cruise on the Disney Dream and I can't wait to check Star Tours…

Wow, last month I got to see the "Magic, Memories and You!" show that is projected right onto the castle and let me tell you it is FANTASTIC! When I first heard the "official" description of this show, let's just say I was less than impressed.

Happy New Year! The first Foto Friday entry of the new year takes us to Disney's Hollywood Studios where we find…

I bet you've passed this spot at the Magic Kingdom a thousand times. I'll even go as far as saying you've probably even seen it happen as you rushed past to get to a ride or go shopping at the Emporium. But I'd also bet that you've never really taken a lot of time to truly watch the Magic as it happens.

I'm talking of the Lampworker in the Crystal Arts Studio on Main Street. This little shop sells beautiful glass figurines and and sculptures, many of which are made on location…

Earlier this week, a fellow Disney fan (Stuart Sternberg aka @disneygeekdad) posted a blog post naming the Disney Community's Most Influential People in 2010.  You can see the original blog post here.

That's right it is Mickey's Birthday! The Walt Disney Company celebrates his birth as November 18, 1928 upon the release of Steamboat Willie. It was all started by a mouse and for that we should all celebrate his birthday! Happy Birthday…

You must attend the Disney Dream Depot chat on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11th at 9:30 pm EST.

Reflections of a Sunrise...

It's not very often you get to be in the Magic Kingdom while the sun is rising. Here's a shot I took during the Halloween 5k during the inaugural Food & Wine Half Marathon Weekend Oct. 1-3, 2010 Wouldn't this be a beautiful sight to wake up to every…
