Do You Remember? TGIF on ABC
Had a flashback yesterday about how much I loved staying in on Friday night and watching TGIF on ABC.
Do you remember watching Step By Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Clueless, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch among many others?
Oh how I miss TGIF. Which show was your favorite?

Vintage Walt Disney World: IllumiNations Blasts...
I love seeing vintage photos from the Disney Parks especially EPCOT (my favorite Walt Disney World theme park). This edition of Vintage Walt Disney World on the Disney Parks Blog is all about IllumiNations (also my favorite Walt DIsney World nighttime spectacular).
While nighttime at Epcot has become synonymous with watching IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth around World Showcase Lagoon, it...

Altered Reality at the Disneyland Resort
I always love seeing HDR photos from Disney Parks and the Disney Parks Blog has done a great job of doing just that. This time around the photos come from Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland Park. What do you think?
High Dynamic Range, or HDR, is done in post-production with software by taking one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that...

Do you think? Little Mermaid Ariel's Undersea...
I figured I would start a weekly post called do you think?
In this weeks edition I am curious to know, Do you think the Little Mermaid Ariel’s Undersea Adventure would have been a better received attraction if WDI had used the “flying” clamshell idea and original layout seen in this preview video?
Here is my personal thought. Most of the attraction is different in the...

Fun Disney Fact--> Indiana Jones and the Temple of...
Did you know that the cars on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril were reversed in 2000? All the scenery and lighting had to be reversed as well. The ride was reverted back to its original form of facing forward in 2004.
**This attraction backwards was definitely a lot more fun than facing forward. It was a unique experience for the guests. Hopefully Disney will reverse this attraction or...

Pirates Boats Like To Take On Water
Have you ever noticed that if you sit in the back row or sometimes even the front row of Pirates of the Caribbean that you’ll find a good 2-4 inches of water in your boat? I recently noticed that Disneyland will sometimes stop seating guests in the back row even if the line is long or they will have a Cast Member at the unloading platform with a custodial dust pan to scoop the water out of...

Funny Goodbye From The Astro Orbitor
While sitting in Tomorrowland last night soaking up the atmosphere I heard what I thought was the usual goodbye from the Astro Orbitor but instead I head this goodbye which I thought was kind of funny: “Thank you for flying aboard the Astro Orbitor we hope to have you fly with us again in the future!” I know it’s kind of corny but I couldn’t stop laughing.
