Dreaming of Travels Far, Far, Away...

Have you ever dreamed of traveling to a galaxy Far Far Away or maybe being in a world where you seem as small as a toy? Well if so, then the new expansions at Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios should bring your fantasies to life.

Toy Story Land

The new area simply label Toy Story Land from Disney Pixar’s hit movie series Toy Story, You can enter a world and seem as small as your Buzz Lightyear or Woody action figures. New rides coming to this area will be a Slinky Dog Roller Coaster and an Alien Swirling Saucers. In Alien Swirling Saucers, guest will find themselves feeling like a toy in the claw game at the local arcade swirling around the area trying to avoid being caught. I would imagine the Slinky Dog Roller Coaster to have the similar design as that of the new Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train at Disney’s Magical Kingdom. Another area I’m excited about is the area taking the place of the former Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground. The new area will be remodeled to give guests the appearance they are in Andy’s Room climbing letter blocks and sliding down toy car tracks. 

Star Wars Land

Star Wars Land, different from Toy Story Land, will be appearing on both coasts.  Here guests will enter George Lucas’ mind of the Star Wars Galaxy.  There will be two new signature attractions coming to Star Wars Land. In one, guests will pilot the infamous Millennium Falcon, while for the other attraction guests will be allowed to battle the First Order as well as other enemies in a virtual simulation.  And for those who enjoy sitting down for meal during the chaos of the parks then you will enjoy sitting down at the new Table Service restaurant that will be located with in Star Wars Land. Another area that appears to be coming is the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars Episode IV: New Hope.


While Disney Toy Story Land has nothing confirmed the rumored opening is Summer 2018. Disney has confirmed Star Wars Land for both Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios and Disneyland will open in 2019.

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Did you know today is Mickey's Birthday? Although his personality has evolved and changed over the years, kids' and families' love for Mickey has remained as popular as ever. From being the mischievous and adventurous troublemaker when he was first created, to a lovable, cheerful hero, Mickey has always been known as a universal symbol of friendship and family values. Walt, on his first television show as he surveyed Disneyland said,  "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing... that it was all started by a Mouse."  This famous Mickey Mouse, made his screen debut on November 18 several decades back as the star of the first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has, since then, become an indelible icon. He is not only the personification of everything Disney, but also one of the most universal symbols of magical childhood memories for kids across the world. "Mickey is the world's most lovable mouse who epitomizes all that makes Disney special...

The Disney Dream-- A Grand Enterance

I will have to say that my words and pictures will not even give you and idea of how grand this ship is. To be able to smell the newness of this ship is indescribable. So see the grand lobby, the larger than my house chandler, the character carvings in the stair cases, and the beautiful colors, is even overwhelming to me. I have to set the scene for you. We are in the Disney Cruise Terminal, waiting for our assigned letter to be called. As we wait we are greeted by (I will blog about character experiences later) Minnie, Mickey and Goofy. Finally, it is our time to get on this grand ship. We walk up the glass walk way and we hear "The Disney Dream would like to welcome Classic Travel Connection". We all squeal like little girls, and we are here. We are on the newest and best ship in the travel industry. Oh, it is good to be the Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Diva. I love my job!!!
