While we’re sad to see “Wishes” go, we are excited for the new fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. “Happily Ever After” uses some great technology, and the storytelling is awesome. I hope they bring back “Wishes” from time to time, like they do with fireworks shows in Disneyland, but, even […]

Vacationland – Fall 1971 – Inaugural Edition
Vacationland was a magazine published three times a year by Walt Disney World. It was distributed through hotels, motels, and tourist attractions and was targeted to the people vacationing throughout Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. This is the Inaugural Edition from Fall, 1971. It’s interesting to see the marketing of WDW and the partnerships Disney […]
Universal Orlando Guide Maps – August 2016
Our family took a vacation to Universal Orlando the first week of August, 2016. It was the first visit for my children, and my wife and my first visit since around 2000. We used to live about a mile north of UO, and we had annual passes for many years and visited often, through the […]
Vacationer's Guide to WDW – 1976
In honor of Independence Day, below are images of the Vacationer’s Guide to Walt Disney World when “America on Parade” was running in honor of America’s Bicentennial. I have the “America on Parade” book, and I’ll be scanning it and posting it. I may post it closer to Election Day (2016). If you want to […]
Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show
Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show ran from May 5, 2005 and ended its run on April 2, 2016. My family only watched the show one time in 2014, and it was entertaining. I think I kinda resented LMA for the longest time because to make room for it, Residential Street was demolished, and I […]
Disney Will Stop Printing Disney Dollars This Week
When I was a kid I loved Disney Dollars. For those unfamiliar, they’re Disney’s paper notes that look like real money and feature cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse and Dumbo on the front. They’re only good at Disney Parks and stores, making them essentially like gift certificates. But Disney will stop printing Disney Dollars […]
Disneyland and California Adventure Guidemaps – February 2016
Well, these aren’t that old. But they are from our trip to Disneyland last month. I’m not thrilled with the cover of either guidemap, but they’re still Disney guidemaps, so I love them. 🙂 You can download the full PDF of the Disneyland guidemap here, and the California Adventure guidemap can be downloaded here.
Epcot Guidemap – 25th Anniversary Celebration – 10/1/07
I obtained this guidemap thanks to my good friend who attended the Epcot 25th Anniversary celebration on October 1, 2007. I had moved back to New Orleans a month earlier and was bummed that I wouldn’t be there to attend the festivities. He took a day off of work to be there and to get […]
8 Photos That Make Us Fall In Love With World of Motion All Over Again « Disney Parks Blog
Although it’s now just a part of Epcot’s history, World of Motion was one of the park’s original attractions that guests flocked to on opening day. The attraction, then sponsored by General Motors, took guests on a time travel journey through the history of transportation – man’s foibles and triumphs in designing new vehicles, the […]
