This week's stop on our tour of Disney Bars and Lounges is The Gurgling Suitcase at Disney Vacation Club's Old Key West Resort. This sunny spot to grab a drink is located in the "Conch Flats Village" main square located just off the main lobby. What a great location it is too, right near check in, the restaurants, self parking, the feature pool and the marina.

Melinda touched on it last week and I wanted to delve a little deeper into the Country Bear Jamboree in the Magic Kingdom's Frontierland. Recently reopened after having been closed for refurbishment. Disney knows that rehabs can put fans of an attraction on edge. Though it's important to keep everything in good shape, most guests want their favorites to remain the same.

Halloween time at Walt Disney World is a wonderful cacophony of fall colors, villainous characters, and Disney magic. At night Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a hot ticket for pirate and villain lovers. It's one of my favorite times of the year to visit the Parks and to celebrate the spooktacular Halloween holiday in a fun way that's not too scary.

A Disney Fairytale Wedding is something many would be princesses dream of from the time that they are little, and why not? Walt Disney World offers a vast array of venues and locations for everything that your heart desires. Disney Fairytale Weddings offers two classifications, Escape Weddings which have a smaller number of guests and the couple picks from a standard set of options, and do not include a reception, but instead offer a cake cutting and toast.

October may have flown by in a haze of great food & wine down in Epcot, but with two weeks left of the International Food & Wine Festival celebration there are still exciting performances left at the festival's evening entertainment sensation 'Eat To The Beat.' This fantastic concert series brings big names in music to cap off the night after a day of sipping and tasting your way through the Marketplace Booths.

Here are a couple of news tidbits from the happiest place on earth:

First up, the guest room locks at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort are getting a new technological makeover. Currently, news out of WDW has it the resort has started converting door locks to the new RFID locking method. RFID locks will enable guests to enter their rooms with just a touch - no card insertion needed. Right now, it looks like it will take about a month before the new lock work is completed.

Celebrities have added their names to the petition to stop Barneys from moving forward with a Disney-inspired Christmas window display at their New York location.

A version of the intended display was recently released and shows favorite Disney characters (think Minnie, Daisy and Goofy) re-imagined as super-tall, super-thin models. The petitioners complaint stems from the message the display could send to young girls.

An excerpt of the petition reads:

This past Sunday morning, a tourist from Germany was arrested after allegedly making a fake bomb threat near the entrance of the Magic Kingdom.

Jochen Naumann, 37, apparently told cast members working the security checkpoint at the Magic Kingdom that he had two bombs in his backpack. When the cast member questioned Naumann further, the German tourist repeated he had bombs in his backpack.

A sherriff deputy stationed at the checkpoint then called in a bomb-sniffing dog while he took the tourist into custody. The dog did not find any explosive devices in the man's backpack.

One of my favorite staples at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is the Desserts & Champagne Marketplace Booth which is located at the beginning of the World Showcase Promenade just to the right. As a long time champagne drinker, and dessert lover this booth brings together some of the tastes that I love most. Today we're going to focus on the champagne, but first let's just take a peek at those desserts.

Main Street, U.S.A. is the first "themed land" inside the main entrance at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and other Disney Parks around the world. As you walk beneath the train station overhead, you cross through a portal to another time. You notice that there's a Victorian theme throughout Main Street, yet the architectural styles represent several distinct areas of the country.
