Have you ever looked at someone's Disney vacation photos and just by the color of the ground or the hue of the walls immediately knew which attraction they were visiting?  Maybe you spotted a letter on a sign in the background or a lamp hanging over their heads and knew which restaurant they had dinner at that night.  Disney fans have a good eye when it comes to looking at photos and many of us can pick up the location with just the slightest hints.  If you fall into this category of people with this talent (a pretty impressive one at that), today's blog post is for you!  Below is a series of snippets of ten different photographs.  From these snippets you will need to guess which attraction the picture is from.  All of the photos were taken on or nearby attractions within the four theme parks of Walt Disney World.  When you've gotten your answers, send an email with the subject "Snippets" to vacations@kingdomkonsultant.com .  Those who have the most answers correc

Purchases over $50 require a PIN number to be entered, which is set at check-in. Guests can also use the system to pay by credit card, but in this case it is swiped through the magnetic reader. The new touch to pay locations are as follows: Disney's Art of Animation Resort Disney's BoardWalk Resort Disney's Contemporary Resort Disney's Polynesian Resort Disney's Yacht & Beach Resort It is expect

There is something about the sparkling glow of Christmas lights that makes me giddy.   I remember when I was a kid how we would pile into the car and drive around town just looking for houses decorated for the holidays.   There was an older gentleman in our community that really went all out—we called his place The Gingerbread House and would beg to go see it every year.   Yes, that house was awesome, but it is nothing compared to magnificent display that the Osborne family of Little Rock, Arkansas used to put up year after year. Osborne family - recognize the name?    That’s right!   Each year the Streets of America in Disney’s Hollywood Studios get decked out with 5 million twinkling lights.   They call this display the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights.   I think many Disney fans have become accustomed to the fact that every Disney attraction has a backstory, but did you realize this particular backstory is based on a real family?     As I mentioned, the Osborne fa

Cinderella Castle is beautiful right now!  Have you seen it?
