The Evolution of Disney Tickets

Posted on by Gary Cruise
Walt Disney World tickets have certainly changed over the years! No, I’m not going to rant about the price of tickets; other folks have that very well covered! I think that Disney tickets have always represented great value, so I’m going to talk about the tickets themselves. Let’s look at the form of the tickets; … Continue reading "The Evolution of Disney Tickets"

Dining Takes a Good Turn at the Garden Grill

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
Despite the countless times I have visited Epcot's Land pavilion, the Garden Grill Restaurant was one of the few Epcot dining locations to which I had never been. Many a time, when walking past to go ride Soarin' or Living with the Land, I have commented on how this was a restaurant that I really wanted to try. However, for one reason or another, I continually put it off. This might have been due to the fact that there are so many restaurants at Epcot which I really enjoy or the simple fact that the Garden Grill is only open for dinner and its limited operating hours make reservations a little harder to come by. Whatever the reason, I finally decided to give the Garden Grill a try and I went in not really knowing what to expect. I knew that the dining room rotated, dinner was served family-style, and that it was a character dining experience, but that was about it. After having finally dined there, I can say that the Garden Grill surpassed my expectations and might actually be my new top location when it comes to character dining.

A Mickey ear-shaped latex balloon has actually been around since the 1940s. Filling it with helium so it could float seductively in the air was something unique when it was … Continue reading "Jim’s Attic: The Mickey Mouse Glasshouse Balloon"

The Imagineers – Doing It Right!

Posted on by Gary Cruise
I am a big fan of the Imagineers! I am constantly awed and impressed by the way they design and build all of those components that make up the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line ships. Of course, Walt Disney was the first Imagineer . . . even before he invented that job title. Walt … Continue reading "The Imagineers – Doing It Right!"
