A Visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum Part 2

Thanks for stopping my to read the second half of my visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum. This fun interactive Museum in San Fransisco holds so much Disney History it was too much for just one post. As you walk through this modern interactive museum you explore Walt's life chronologically, and we continue today in that vein.

Disney Vacation Club

The Disney Vacation Club is a great way to own a piece of Disney and get to stay at some incredible resorts. DVC is Disney's version of a vacation ownership program where members buy in at a certain number of points and then have the flexibility to travel where and when they want.

While most people are probably already familiar with DVC there are probably at least few that aren't (don't worry I didn't know a whole lot either.) So I set out to learn a little more about the DVC and share it with you all!

Looking Back: It's a Small World

Some people love it and for others it is the bane of their Disney existence. We are talking It's a Small World today, exploring the origins and history of this Disney hallmark.

For those of you who have never ridden It's a Small World, the attraction is an interior boat cruise that features over 300 brightly costumed audio-animatronic dolls in the style of children of the world. There is an It's a Small World attraction at each of the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts worldwide, and Walt ever only referred to it as "the happiest cruise that ever sailed."

Sunday Round-up for January 16, 2011

Lots of great writing from around the web by some of our favorite Disney web sites.

BRiTMiCK addresses a dangerous topic with "5 Things I'd Change About Disney World". Better be careful, people don't like change!

The Disney Food Blog tempts us with some new caramel apples in the parks.

Sunday Round-Up for January 9, 2011

For our second Round-Up of the new year I thought we'd start with some great posts about the other Disney parks around the world. Reading a blog post about them may be as close as I ever get to going so let's take a look at some offerings.

Theme Park Tourist has a review of the Toy Story Playland in Disneyland Paris. Lots of video and pictures make me feel all French-y!
