We highly recommend experiencing an After Hours Event the next time you are visiting the Mouse!!


After Hours is currently available on select dates at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.  This is a separate ticketed event that allow you time at a theme park when there are a very limited number of guests there.  We attended the After Hours event at Hollywood Studios.  If you’re already in the park at the start of the event, you simply go to the distribution spot in the park to get your wristband for the event - in this case it was at the ticket office at the corner of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards.  If you’re coming into the park, you’ll go to a special turnstile where they’ll scan your Magic Band and give you your wristband.

Once you’re in the park, you can enjoy unlimited Mickey Bars and Ice Cream Sandwiches, popcorn, sodas and bottle waters.  If you’re wanting something more substantial that’s available for purchase as well.  There were so many character interactions available during our After Hours Event including some especially for the 30th Anniversary.  The best part of the event is the shorter wait times for rides.  There was a 5 minute wait for every attractions that participated - Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, Toy Story Mania, Star Tours, Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror.

While paying extra for an event might be sometime you’re not a fan of, an After Hours event can be a great way to get a lot done in a short amount of time and it’s at night which can help a lot during those warm summer months in Orlando!

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!!!
