Bay Lake Tower Observation Deck

Posted on by Jack Spence
A strange looking structure is being constructed on the top of the rumored Bay Lake Tower, Disney Vacation Club located north of the Contemporary Resort. This is strictly a RUMOR, but I have it on good authority that this will be a private, Magic Kingdom firework viewing area for DVC members staying at this resort. … Continue reading "Bay Lake Tower Observation Deck"

The Eight Days of Christmas and Little Bit More

Posted on by Jack Spence
I was at the Marketplace at Downtown Disney recently and visited the Disney’s Days of Christmas Shop. While browsing, I noticed a cute sign with one of the “12 Days of Christmas” printed on it.

Each evening at 6pm (Tuesday – Saturday), one of the fire-dancers … Continue reading "Polynesian Resort Torch Lighting Ceremony"

Posted on by Jack Spence
During the postings of my Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney blogs, I received several emails from people asking me if it’s worth the trip to travel this vast distance to visit these parks.

Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
Much of the architecture of Tokyo’s Tomorrowland is stuck in the 80’s. Actually, it’s stuck in the 70’s as it was copied after the Magic Kingdom at WDW – which was designed in the ’60’s. In other words, there are areas here that could definitely use a face lift like they did to the Tomorrowlands … Continue reading "Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland"

Toontown – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
Toontown Toontown is the community where carTOON characters live, shop, and play when not at a studio making movies. Inspired by the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” Toontown is a whacky place where very little makes sense and you never know what crazy thing might happen next.

Posted on by Jack Spence
I rank Pooh’s Hunny Hunt as one of my all time, world-wide favorite Disney attractions! And considering I’m not a big fan of Winnie the Pooh, that’s saying a lot. When I wrote about World Bazaar, I mentioned that I would talk about FASTPASS in a later blog. Well the time has come. FASTPASS works … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 2 – Tokyo Disneyland"

Fantasyland Part 1 – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
Fantasyland Part 1 Before I start my description of Fantasyland, I need to post a correction. My friend Katsumi, who lives in Tokyo, informs me that the Japanese do indeed wear shorts during the months of July and August when temperatures demand cooler attire. So feel free to don your lighter togs during this time. … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 1 – Tokyo Disneyland"
