2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
Are you a food fanatic and wine enthusiast? The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will return to the Walt Disney World Resort from September 27 – November 11, 2013.
Throughout the festival you will be able to delight in outstanding food, fun and entertainment.
Here are some highlights you can look forward to at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, including:
Choosing which Disney World Park to Visit
Choosing which Disney World Park to visit each day on your vacation can be difficult. Different Disney guests choose which park they will visit each day in different ways. Some will use a plan found in a guide book. Some will base it on Extra Magic Hours. Others will use Touring Plans or another site that gives historical data and helps you choose the lowest crowds. Others will just choose because they don’t know any better. But have you ever considered choosing your park based on the days weather?
If you wake up and it’s a beautiful, sunny, Florida day, I would suggest heading to the Magic Kingdom. The pretty skies and sunny weather will make the outdoor attractions like Astro Orbiter, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad perfect. There are also so many great photo opportunities at the Magic Kingdom, especially with the New Fantasyland opened, where blue skies will make the shot amazing.
Minnie & Daisy Best Friends Forever Book and Magazine Review
“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.” Walt Disney
Walt Disney was certainly a man after my own heart. At my house, there isn’t much that gets us as excited as a new book to read. Recently I had the opportunity to review a new series from Disney Publishing featuring Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck. While I love all of the new characters like Merida, Rapunzel, and I especially enjoy a Phineas & Ferb marathon; it thrilled me to see of the classic Disney characters featured in this series. Minnie Mouse holds a special place in my heart and I am always excited to pass that love on to my daughter. Disney said about the series, “Girls can read about the amazing power of friendship, take quizzes, make fun crafts, learn about caring for pets, read about fashion and their favorite music, and play games with their best pals, Minnie and Daisy.” These books and magazine delivered on that and more!
New Animated Series ‘Star Wars Rebels’ Coming to Disney XD in 2014
If you’re like me you were bummed to hear that “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” was being cancelled after a tremendous five season run. The animation, stories and acting were top notch and I really hoped that this new series Lucasfilm hinted at would be on par with the quality we, Wars fans, have grown accustomed to in terms of production value and storytelling. It would appear that our geeky prayers have been answered!
StarWars.com just released details on their new animated series “Star Wars Rebels.” Here’s the news from Lucasfilm themselves.
Starting Your Free Disney Collection
Starting a Disney collection can be a lot of fun, but purchasing souvenirs for your collection can easily become quite expensive. Luckily, you can find some great free souvenirs at Walt Disney World. By collecting these free souvenirs, you can create a Disney collection to remember your vacation by. So, what types of free souvenirs can you collect from Walt Disney World?
Disney park maps are a fun souvenir to collect. You can find them for free at many locations on Disney property. If you collect maps from multiple trips to Walt Disney World, it can be fun to see how the park maps have changed over the years. You can also use park maps to add a little Disney magic to your vacation scrapbook.
Unused FastPasses and Ride Swap tickets are another great free Disney souvenir to collect. You can collect these tickets from many of your favorite attractions for free. Once you return home, your FastPasses or Ride Swap tickets can be displayed in many creative ways, such as collages, shadow boxes, or in your vacation scrapbook.
