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.

I just got back from a quick trip to WDW and I do mean quick – less than 20 hours!

Staying off-site – the Best Western Park Place Inn & Suites

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Earlier this summer I wrote a blog entry about staying on-site vs. off-site at Disneyland, and how there were certain advantages in proximity to staying off-site.

Quick weekend trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick weekend trip to Disneyland and actually spent the night up there for a change – mainly because I was doing the Segway tour which started at 7:15 a.m., and would have meant getting up *really* early if I left from San Diego! I met my friend Patty at my hotel on … Continue reading "Quick weekend trip to Disneyland"

Focus on Disney World – Yeti Shrine

They are exaggerating of course, but their point is that there just isn’t that … Continue reading "Focus on Disney World – Yeti Shrine"
