MNSSHP 2018: The Boo To You Parade (Viewed from Main Street USA)

In our last post, we took a look at the first showing of the Boo to You Parade, as viewed from the hub area here. For the second showing of the parade I figured I would, as usual, grab my favorite viewing location looking straight up Main Street from the Town Square area (see where the blue arrow is pointing below).

Magic Kingdom Villains After Hours: Part 2

We left off Part 1 of our after hours experience just as the event was officially getting under way. As you may recall, we rode Big Thunder Mountain via fastpass immediately after watching Happily Ever After from the hub. Most likely due to downtime earlier in the day, the fastpass line was backed up to over a 15 minute wait, with us getting off the … Continue reading Magic Kingdom Villains After Hours: Part 2

Is Animal Kingdom Walt Disney World’s Best Theme Park?

In this post, I’m gonna take a bold leap and attempt to make a case that Animal Kingdom could be Walt Disney World’s best overall park at the moment. I’m sure I’ve lost a great deal of you already, but I really think it at least merits consideration. I’ll start right out by saying, Magic Kingdom is still my favorite of the Florida Parks. That however, is … Continue reading Is Animal Kingdom Walt Disney World’s Best Theme Park?
