Yia Sou Kouzzina

October 10, 2014 by Debra Martin Koma

by David Abel AllEars.Net Guest Blogger It’s always a sad day when something comes to an end, so it almost seems poetic that Kouzzina by Cat Cora served its final meals on a dreary rainy evening.

Remembering Body Wars

October 6, 2014 by AllEars

The success of Star Tours in 1987 inspired the Imagineers to try developing an "inner space" attraction of a miniaturized submarine-like probe journeying through a patient's body just like in the film Fantastic Voyage (1966) for the "Wonders of Life" pavilion at Epcot in 1989. The new attraction was called Body Wars most likely because Disney guests called Star Tours the Star Wars ride or just Star Wars.

September 20, 2014 by AllEars

If your family is anything like mine, when you arrive at one of the parks at Walt Disney World, say the Magic Kingdom, you sprint down Main Street USA toward whichever attraction for which you have your first FastPass+, without looking up, down, or around you. You miss the little details. A LOT of little details: references to Disney films and former attractions; tributes to Imagineers and prominent Disney personalities; and many other hidden gems. What you really need is a guidebook to show you where to look.
