Welcome to Part 2 of our great Disney Debate, where we compare Disneyland and Walt Disney World to see which resort is better. (Spoiler…it's a tie!) But nevertheless, it's a fun topic to explore, as we discover the magic both in Anaheim and Orlando. So sit back, relax, and join us as we give you our take on the great Disney debate: Disneyland or Walt Disney World!

One of the great parlor games among Disney fans is comparing Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Which resort is better? Who has the better attractions? Which park is your favorite? It's a fun topic to debate, especially since there's no wrong answer. In this special two-part episode, we're going to take a look at the similarities – and the differences – between the two resorts to see how they stack...

When you think of Disney attractions, visions of the Haunted Mansion, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage probably come to mind. But there's another sort of attraction that may not be on your must-do list, but nevertheless brings you just as much magic as their more popular cousins. Tonight, we're going to talk about the shows of Disney, from breathtaking films to foot-stomping sing-a-lo...

One of the things we love the most about Disney is that it gives us the opportunity to share that special magic with our family, creating memories that will last a lifetime. But touring with a big family does present some challenges, and tonight, we wanted to share our thoughts on how to make that family trip the best Disney vacation ever. There are lots of tips and tricks that you can use to ensu...

With every new attraction and new film, Disney continues to push the technological boundaries of what is possible. While it IS exciting to experience the wonderful new surprises that Disney has created for us, sometimes it's just as rewarding to step back and enjoy the simple things. Tonight, we're going to step away from the worlds of CGI and sophisticated effects and talk about those little mome...

Ever since Epcot's opening day, Disney fans have come up with their own thoughts regarding new countries that could be added to World Showcase. Rumors of new pavilions seem to pop up every year, and it's a topic that's lots of fun to kick around.  With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to put on our Imagineering hats and turn our attention to World Showcase. What would we add? What would we...

Artists can use color to evoke different moods…from happy cheery worlds filled with bright primary colors to frightfully spooky realms of gloomy grays and muted purples. In the hands of Disney's Imagineers, color can even be used to trick the senses…think of it as the artistic version of forced perspective. The world of Disney is filled with thousands, no, millions of colors, both in the parks and...

With Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind arriving in Epcot, we thought it would be a great time to put on our Imagineering hats and dream up some Marvel-themed attractions and experiences that we would love to see at Walt Disney World. So let's gather up our Infinity Stones, Magic Hammers, Vibranium Shields, Pym Particles, and gather around as we talk about: Our Marvel Disney Wish List. Assembl...

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things don't always go the way they should. Making movies is no different…sometimes you flub a line, sometimes a prop goes haywire. But you know, sometimes that leads to something even more magical, that comical gem that just might end up on the gag reel. Tonight we're going to celebrate that slip of the tongue, that mistimed stunt, that embarrassing pause whe...

Oftentimes, the things we smell and hear are far more powerful than the things we see, especially in terms of creating memories. Make no mistake, there are plenty of amazing things to see at Walt Disney World, but if we use all of our senses, we can unlock a whole magical world of Disney memories. So tonight, inspired by Dr. Channing's tour of the Imagination Institute, we thought we would take a...

Sometimes it's fun to mix things up a little bit. To try something new, to do things a different way, even to do something the "wrong way" (without breaking any rules of course!) It's a fun way to add a little spice to your already magical Disney vacation, and who knows, you may stumble upon a new favorite way of doing things. So tonight, we're going to share some of our favorite tips, suggestions...

If you've been to Epcot lately, you know that are a lot of changes taking place. Not just new attractions, but a whole new concept for what we currently know as Future World.

So sit back, relax and join us, as we talk abo...

In our last episode, we talked about some of our favorite songs and musical moments from classic Disney films. But the wonderful world of music isn't restricted to the silver screen. Music plays in important role in our Walt Disney World experience, just as much as the visual effects, the breathtaking animatronics, and all those little details. In fact, you can think of music as the foundation on...

Some of our favorite Disney memories stem not from spellbinding visuals, but from the accompanying music. Music has the power to make us laugh, cheer, and of course, cry. So much so that it might just be the most important aspect of your Disney experience. Whether it's those iconic songs that get stuck in your head, or the ambient background music that brings each land to life, the power of song i...

This week we celebrated Groundhog Day, and that of course brings to mind the idea of repeating the same day over and over. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, and in fact at Disney it can be quite a good thing! T hanks to a certain film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day now means repeating the same thing over and over and over. Even though that wasn't a Disney film, we thought we'd have some...
