  Radiator Springs Racers!  Who's been on this awesome ride?

As a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World, there are many things I look forward to each and every trip.   Attractions, shows, dining – the list goes on and on.   At the top of this list is visiting World Showcase at Epcot.   World Showcase is a cultural and culinary adventure through eleven different countries without needing a passport or racking up lots of frequent flyer miles.   Over the next several months, I want to feature a spotlight on each of the pavilions that make up World Showcase.   Naturally, I’m going to start with the country we always visit first when we begin our around-the-world trek – the Mexico pavilion. As you enter World Showcase from Future World, Mexico is on your left.   It’s hard to miss the beautiful Aztec-inspired pyramid that towers over the rest of the pavilion.   When you get closer, the sounds of trumpets and guitars from a live 12-piece Mexican Mariachi band grab your attention.   And while we’re discussin...

  It's a Build a Bear at Downtown Disney!  What's your favorite store at Downtown Disney?

  Does anybody know where you can find this scene at Disney?

Most will agree that the Disney Cruise Line experience is fantastic, and many will include a visit to Palo to enhance their cruise.   I have discovered that to reach the pinnacle of enjoyment on your Disney Cruise you need to dine at Remy. Remy is one of the adult-only restaurants available on both the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy.   The menu for Remy was created by Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise and Chef Scott Hunnel from Victoria & Albert's .   My mouth waters just thinking about this menu!       I was fortunate enough to dine at Remy on the Disney Fantasy, and I must admit that the excitement starts to build even before you check in at the podium (used for both Palo and Remy).   Prior to your reservation time, you will receive an invitation to meet with the Chef Sommelier to peruse the Wine Room for a rare wine to accompany your meal.   Although we did not accept this invitation, it really sets th...

  Boarding Group 10!  Not so great!  What's the worst boarding group number you've had on a Disney Cruise?

We all know that Walt Disney World offers a wide variety of entertainment, from thrill rides and onstage performances, to 3-D attractions.   You will never be bored on Disney property!   While most 3-D movies at your hometown theaters can be impressive or leave you wanting more, Disney’s offerings of 3-D isn’t just a visual experience! Narrowing it down to just three must see 3-D attractions is hard for me.   I’m always amazed at what Disney brings next and while 3-D has been around for a long time, there is always something new to make you jump out of your seat cheering for more.   So what are my personal three must see 3-D attractions? 3.     It’s Tough to be a Bug - Located in the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, It’s Tough to be a Bug is full of spiders, beetles, butterflies and many other creepy-crawlies.   No, not the real ones!   Put on your Bug-Eye glasses and join Flick as he hosts the show.   The audience members are ...
