For many years, the Concourse Steakhouse, on the fourth floor of the Contemporary, was their casual dining spot, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although I liked this restaurant, I always felt it lacked a … Continue reading "The Wave at Disney’s Contemporary Resort"

May 26, 2008 Disneyland Resort Weather: Partly Cloudy, 60s. The alarm went off bright and early. As I reached for my glasses, they weren’t there. Huh?

Fort Wilderness Hidden Mickeys

Posted on by Steve Barrett
Recently, I stayed in a cabin at the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. The best way to research Hidden Mickeys is to stay in the middle of the magic! I like the cabins; they’re spacious and well-maintained, and you can park your car right in front of your cabin. Disney has been placing more and … Continue reading "Fort Wilderness Hidden Mickeys"

My Bonus Trip to WDW – Part 5

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
You can blame commando Lee for the fact that there was no blog entry yesterday. Since it was his only day to play in the parks he made the most of it – we got a short afternoon break back in the room, but that was it.

My Bonus Trip to Walt Disney World – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’m blogging live from WDW – and a couple of months ago I certainly didn’t expect to be here right now!

Harper’s Mill, Old Time Telephone, and Kingdom Tower – Walt Disney World

Posted on by Jack Spence
I recently wrote a blog about the bird’s nest hidden in Harper’s Mill on Tom Sawyer Island in the Magic Kingdom. One of my readers, Chris, wrote to tell me that if you listen carefully, the creaking gears inside the mill play “Down By The Old Mill Stream.” I checked it out today and sure … Continue reading "Harper’s Mill, Old Time Telephone, and Kingdom Tower – Walt Disney World"
