We're continuing our look back at Epcot's extinct attractions with the World of Motion, located in Epcot Future World East - home of today's Test Track.

Who doesn't love the chance to say hi to a Disney character? Disney's Hollywood Studios will have some new opportunities to do just that coming next month.

Starting May 16, guests will have the chance to catch up with Phineas and Ferb. The fun duo will be featured in a movie-themed meet-and-greet experience.

As the summer heats up and "Cars 2" gets ready to hit the big screen, Lightning McQueen can be seen at Luigi's Garage. In June, catch him as he fills in for Herbie the Love Bug on the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show.

No one would call it traditional Disney movie-fare, but Disney's move to pick up Ice Cube's "Chrome and Paint" fits in with top studio execs Rich Ross and Sean Bailey and their attempts to expand Disney's film repertoire.

Ice Cube is reportedly set to star in, produce and direct the car culture drama along side Matt Alvarez and also takes credit as screenwriter along with Eva Vives.

Today is the day bookings open for 2012 cruises with the Disney Cruise Line. Recently, the Line revealed their itineraries for 2012 and also announced the three new home ports of New York, Seattle and Galveston.

Beginning May 25, 2012, you can hop aboard the Disney Magic for 20 cruises setting sail from New York, New York. Three unique itineraries are planned from the Big Apple:

• eight-night Bahamas cruises that also includes a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket plus transporation to and from the resort.
• five-night New England coast cruises.

Another Friday visit to the Flower and Garden Festival is in order today! Last week we showed off the new Cars 2 topiaries; this week, let's take a look at our favorite Hundred Acre Wood characters -- Pooh and friends.

From what we can tell, these topiaries are here to promo the new Pooh movie, but we're OK with that. They're pretty cute, and they are some of our family's favorite characters after all.

Are you ready for some screaming excitement? Then you've come to the wrong post! Today we're going to look at one of my favorite places to relax in Disney World, "The Drawing Room."

Who doesn't like saving time and money, especially when it comes to dining at the Disney parks? Back by popular demand is a voucher good for 25% off of select quick-service restaurants at both Disney World and Disneyland during the busy week of April 17-23, 2011.

This week, one of the busiest in the parks, can make for long waits during peak dining times; the voucher encourages diners to eat on "off" or "down" times for lunch and dinner. The fine print? You must purchase an entree and also must eat before 11:30 a.m. for lunch or between 3:00-4:30 p.m. for dinner.

For those who haven't been to Disney World in a while, the masks have moved!

Yep -- the gorgeous, carnivale art masks have been moved out of the back of the Enoteca and now reside over in the back of the jewelry/perfume/glass shop across the way.

The system of an email provider for Disney Destinations was hacked into last week. The names of millions of customer and their emails were in Epsilon's system when the unauthorized access occurred last Wednesday.

Epsilon has said it is cooperating with authorities in this matter, and has not gone into detail on how exactly their system was hacked. The company also has sent emails on behalf of Disney Destination updating affected users on the breach.

Though Disney's system was not touched, a spokesperson for the company called the situation "disappointing."

The time of year that you choose to visit Walt Disney World is a very personal decision, based on your preference (or tolerance! ha!) for weather, crowds and events at WDW.
