Out for a Speedway Drive

Posted on by Lisa Berton
For some strange reason I have rarely experienced the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. Maybe it’s because I keep calling it Autopia and none of my WDW-loving friends know what I’m talking about. I guess I just lost a point on the WDW Fanatic Measuring System. It’s rather difficult to take photos while driving, trust me on … Continue reading "Out for a Speedway Drive"

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"

Hong Kong Tomorrowland & Disney on Parade

Posted on by Jack Spence
The last land I will be talking about at Hong Kong Disneyland is Tomorrowland. Like Fantasyland, it feels small compared to other parks. The first attraction I’ll be discussing it Orbitron. This is your typical, hub and spoke space ride. What sets this attraction apart from its cousins in other Disney parks is that you … Continue reading "Hong Kong Tomorrowland & Disney on Parade"

My Bonus Trip to Walt Disney World – Part 3

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Lee decided he was going to stick around the room for a while this morning and do work stuff – he had a bunch of email that had come in over the last couple of days that he was working through. And since he *is* working this week, unlike some of us… I showed him … Continue reading "My Bonus Trip to Walt Disney World – Part 3"

Out-of-town friends gave me the excuse to play hooky from work one afternoon last week and spend some time at Disney’s California Adventure and Disneyland. And I thought I’d share a few observations. My friend AK and I attended the Miner Family Wine Tasting Seminar at DCA’s Food and Wine Festival. I was pleased to … Continue reading "Weekday Fun at Disneyland and DCA"

Blog Follow-ups

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I thought I’d post some follow-ups to a couple of previous blog entries. Last week I wrote about the new House of the Future, coming to Disneyland in May. (That blog entry can be found HERE.) One thing the article didn’t mention is that it was going in on the ground floor of Innoventions. We … Continue reading "Blog Follow-ups"
