WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Beauty and the Beast 3-D

January 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment

  Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie.  I saw it when it first came out.  While I was sitting all slack-jawed and this is awesome at the movies last night, it occurred to me that it has been twenty years since I had seen it in theaters.  I still remember how excited [...]

Universal Planning 101 for Adult Disney Fans: Part IV

March 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments

This entry is part 4 of 11 in the series UOforWDWfans

First of all, let me do you a favor.  The Universal parks do not have Expedition Everest, Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, or the Jungle Cruise.  Dig?  Dig.  Then, let me start discussing the best rides and shows at each park. At Universal Studios, my top five must sees are: Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Review is a great [...]

Friday Favorites: Planet Hollywood

March 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment

This entry is part 2 of 27 in the series Friday Favorites

For some reason, Planet Hollywood has been maligned continuously in the Disney Fan community.  They have  been accused of [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Disney Guidebooks

March 8th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Guidebooks-how quaint, right? However, I find that nothing beats a guidebook in terms of portable information. The obvious guide to discuss on this site is Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World Without Kids 2010. I’ve got the book from the library, and was completely underwhelmed.

Basic Walt Disney World Hotel info

March 1st, 2010 · 6 Comments

Where to stay? When adults are considering the possible places to stay at Disney World, children are a concern. My father (a parent of seven, for crying out loud) refused to consider a Value resort in 2002*. His concern was that there would be “a lot of kids running around.” So we stayed at Port [...]
