Magic Blogorail Green: Hidden Treasures from Our Favorite Disney Parks

Hedy — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:00:50 +0000

Welcome to those of you joining me from A Disney Mom’s Thoughts and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.

This month’s topic is Hidden Treasures from Our Favorite Disney Parks. As you know. my favorite park is the Magic Kingdom. I discovered one of my favorite hidden treasures by accident.

On my trip on 2009, I had a late flight home. As such, I had a little extra time after my schedule. I had finished up at Main Street Bakery, so I stopped by the Chapeau. I found this cute little alley. It even has a checkerboard.

Thank you for joining me today. Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is Your Highway in the Sky.

Magical Blogorail Green: Most Missed Attractions

Hedy — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 11:00:51 +0000

Welcome to those of you joining me from A Disney Mom’s Thoughts and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the final stop on our Magical Blogorail.

For my most missed attraction, I chose that Tomorrowland classic, Delta Dreamflight! I have to point out that this favorite is something that pegs me as being a “young adult” Disney fan-many of you might remember its predecessor, If You Had Wings, However, I never saw that version.

I loved Dreamflight! I am a big fan of travel and flying (looking back on it, I loved it on my first trip in 1993, when I had been on an airplane once-to get to WDW). I loved being able to ride through all the places of the world-seeing the people in France or Japan.

On my first trip, I really liked the orderly-ness of the conveyor belt rides, so I was find of it for that reason. I was also a big fan of Delta in 1996-both because our trip was through them and because this was back in the day when Delta had child-specific materials and I got a regular magazine from Delta.

In a way, I feel like the whole Delta sponsored thing was kind of a relic, both in terms of Delta having the dough to sponsor an attraction, and an attraction being so heavy-handedly advertising. Can you imagine the internet uproar if Southwest opened such a ride today?

However, all good things must come to an end, and by my trip in 2002, I found that Buzz Lightyear had replaced my dream flight. I love Buzz, but sometimes I wish I could re-live the days of flying through the world no TSA screening required.

Magical Blogorail: My Favorite Park at Disney World

Hedy — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:00:06 +0000

Welcome to those of you joining me from Running Towards Disney or those of you who have just hopped aboard. I am the final stop on our Magical Blogorail. Today’s topic is our favorite Disney park.

For me, this is an easy answer-the Magic Kingdom is my favorite park. Why? Well, let’s start with the basics-Splash Mountain, my favorite ride, is located there. Columbia Harbor House is also located there. But there are plenty of things I love at other parks, so why the Magic Kingdom?

To be honest-I think part of it is its tradition-it’s still much the same as it was. I can walk from the bus stop to the gates and mentally relive the first time I did it, feeling in awe that I am actually at Disney World. Also, I love the theatrics of the Magic Kingdom-it is set up like a movie theatre. I love how you have to enter the Magic Kingdom to see the castle.
This plaque may be from Disneyland, but I think it suns up the wonder of the Magic Kingdom well. You can go from soaring over London with Peter Pan to seeing the American Presidents to going on a jungle cruise.
Thank you for joining us this month. We will be back April 22nd with an all new theme, though feel free to keep checking in with our blogs in between loops to keep up to date with our Disney info, photos and stories
