Ears the News with Richard

Ears the News is brought to you courtesy of our friends at  WDWMagic.com . With the completion of the Disney Vacation Club Villas and Bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Resort, attention is now switching to Disney's Wilderness Lodge, which will undergo a similar expansion to the Polynesian. Disney has started to advise guests arriving in the fall that a number of leisure and recreation amenities will be unavailable from October 26 2015. The main impact will be to the Hidden Springs leisure pool, the resort beach, the playground and the fire pit. During the closure of the leisure pool, the main feature pool will continue to be open as normal. The nature trail, boat and bike rentals, and spa treatments will also be unavailable from October. The project will see the addition of 26 waterside bungalows, similar to the recently opened Bora Bora Bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, although the Wilderness Lodge units are not built over the water.

2015 Candlelight Processional

In the middle of summer, the Christmas season may be the furthest thing from your mind. But for those planning a Walt Disney World vacation this December, you'll be excited to know that reservations are now available for the 2015 Candlelight Processional Dining Packages!   A beloved annual event at Epcot, the Candlelight Processional is the retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity guest, a mass choir consisting of cast members and students, the Voices of Liberty, and a 50 piece orchestra. The end result is a beautiful, moving performance that best captures the spirit of Christmas.  It’s absolutely breathtaking, and the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season. The shows take place nightly in the American Gardens Theater in Epcot at 5:00 p.m, 6:45 p.m, and 8:15 p.m.  The best way to guarantee a seat to one of the 3 nightly performances is with a Candlelight Processional Dining package, which can be booked at most of the table service restaurants insi

I Scream for Disney Ice Cream

There are LOTS of places at Walt Disney World to get a frozen treat.  Everything from vanilla ice cream to frozen lemonade to a kitchen sink sundae with every topping imaginable exists throughout the theme parks and resorts.  In no particular order…here are my can’t misses:  Dole Whip Float from Aloha Isle Dole Whip - What used to be an Adventureland exclusive can now also be found at Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.  I’m a fan of Dole Whip’s in their purest form—pineapple, in a dish.  You can also get pineapple swirled with vanilla, a float with juice, or (not at Magic Kingdom) the adult version with rum.  I like to get a dish, smell the nacho plant (I’m not the only one who smells it, right?) as I walk over the Adventureland bridge, and enjoy my Dole Whip on the curb of Main Street USA while waiting for the parade. Ice Cream selections at L'Artisan des Glaces L’Artisan des Glaces - I’ll admit, I wasn’t sold on the bakery leaving its
