My latest blog about the monorail T-shirt has generated a lot of interest. Many of you have written to ask where I purchased it. In my case, I bought it at the Boutiki shop in the Polynesian Resort.

Disney Blu-ray

Posted on by Jack Spence
For those of you old enough to remember the VCR’s introduction, you may also remember the battle between VHS and Beta. These were two, non-compatible formats vying for dominance in the VCR world. Today, a similar battle is raging for high-def DVD supremacy – this time between HD DVD and Blu-ray. Paramount, DreamWorks, and Universal … Continue reading "Disney Blu-ray"

Updates Around Walt Disney World

Posted on by Jack Spence
The day after Halloween, Disney went to work decorating for Christmas. The transformation takes weeks as Santa’s Helpers move from park to park and resort to resort, stringing garland and decorating trees. I visited the Magic Kingdom and Main Street is all decked out. Once again, the big Christmas tree is temporarily located in the … Continue reading "Updates Around Walt Disney World"
