Epcot and more…

Posted on
My trip Thursday night started off a little iffy. Planes were very delayed due to weather in other areas. My 7:15pm flight didn’t leave until 11pm! Meaning I wasn’t in my room until 2:00am. Not a great way to start off a jam packed 4 day trip. Things quickly changed for the better and it’s … Continue reading "Epcot and more…"

Posted on
Tuesday’s issue (September 25, 2007) of the AllEars® (weekly newsletter) has a special feature on the original Journey Into Imagination ride (Future World, Epcot) written by Lou Mongello. As I read the draft, I found myself reminiscing about the ride and my first visit to Epcot in the early 1990s. All of a sudden I … Continue reading "Journey Into Imagination – Epcot Center – Celebrating 25 Years!"

Posted on
I just realized I never published these. While not a comprehensive tip listing, it will hopefully help those planning a Southwestern Adventure by Disney… Linda Mac provides the Sedona tips.

Adventures by Disney – Reflections

It’s been several weeks since I returned from the American Southwest. In some respects, it feels like yesterday, and then sometimes – it feels like a dream (sound familiar like a visit to Disney World?). I have looked at the photos continually, reread my blogs and those of LindaMac and am simply amazed at the … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Reflections"

Adventures by Disney – Final Dinner and Goodbyes

After the rafting we returned back to the Red Cliffs lodge we all had a few minutes to go to our rooms and change, or dry off, or whatever. A box lunch was ready for us and boy was it good to eat LOL. Again, many folks headed off to a variety of activities, but … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Final Dinner and Goodbyes"

Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 6 – Our Last Day

Posted on
A buffet breakfast was waiting for us in the main lodge building. We’d be departing at 9:00am for our River Rafting Adventure on the Colorado River! The pre-trip materials described this as Class 1 and 2 rapids. Probably because of the lateness of the season, they were mostly Class 1. However, that was just perfect … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 6 – Our Last Day"

Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 5

Posted on
After our amazing morning, we drove into Moab for Lunch on our Own. We had about 2 hours and thought it would be plenty of time to eat and do a little shopping. Not. While the restaurant we went to had decent food, we can’t say as much for the service. This is as good … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 5"
