Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and before you know it the whirlwind of the holiday season will be upon us.  For some, it has already begun I’m sure!  While we may not be able to gather around the same table to share turkey, dressing or pumpkin pie, I’m glad that we can still come together here on the world wide web to share something else — our love of Disney!  And so, I would like to present you with my list of things for which I am grateful, Walt Disney World edition.  I hope you will add to the list in our comments section below! 1.   I am grateful that Walt Disney World gives me an escape from reality.  While I do (occasionally) enjoy vacations at other destinations, I find myself still tethered to “normal life” elsewhere.  When I’m in Disney World, however, the only thing I’m worried about is what time does the parade start and when can I get my next FastPass.  From the time you step onto the Magical Express until you drive under the Walt Disney World arch on the way home you are in

It’s also a great place to grab a seat in a comfy armchair or a rocking chair in front of the 82-foot tall fireplace and enjoy some good old-fashioned people watching.

With just a few days to go before the start of the official previews for the new Fantasyland expansion on 11/19/2012, Disney has announced one of the new acts that will perform as atmosphere entertainment. From the Official Disney Parks Blog The Royal Majesty Makers engage boys and girls in random acts of “royaldom,” endowing them with the skills to become princes and princesses. These royal consultants, official ambassadors of Cinderella’s court, inspire and delight visiting villagers with magical moments throughout the land. Led by retired knight Sir Sterling and royal etiquette expert Lady Llewellyn, the Royal Majesty Makers also include squire extraordinaire Tobias and flirtatious lady-in-waiting Bridget. They may be found in the Castle Courtyard, conducting Knight School, delivering invitations to a royal ball, leading royal dances or even playing a game of “Sir Sterling Says.” “With the opening of New Fantasyland, we’re excited to introduce several new atmosphere

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can be very overwhelming for a first-time guest, and may even present challenges for repeat guests.   Walt Disney World vacations offer complete customization and can provide some of the best vacation experiences; however, this plethora of choices can also confuse many guests.   Although there are unique circumstances that come up, guests are united in many questions.   I have compiled just a few of the frequently asked questions by guests planning a Walt Disney World vacation.   1.      How far in advance should I book my vacation package?   Some people are planners and book their vacations at least a year in advance, while others are more spontaneous planning a vacation mere days before traveling.   To really take advantage of all the benefits of booking a Walt Disney World vacation through Disney, I recommend booking at least 6 months in advance.   Dining reservations open up 180 days prior to your dining reservation date; however gu
