Welcome to the latest edition of Ears the News Brought to you by our friends at  WDWMagic.com . The Magic Kingdom began its new start-of-day experience earlier this week, aimed at improving the guest arrival process. Here is everything you need to know ahead of your next trip. Early Entry onto Main Street U.S.A. Instead of being held at the main entrance area, the tap-styles now open at least an hour ahead of regular park opening, meaning that typically you can now enter the park at 8:00 AM when the park opens at 9:00 AM.

All of the shops are open, as is the Main Street Bakery Starbucks. Casey's Corner is also open, with a breakfast menu including Muffins, Bagels, Croissant Doughnuts, Corn Dogs, and Hash Brown Dog.

Hey there Disney Pals and Gals!       I hope you're all having an awesome 2017 so far! My fam and I are down here in Orlando, thanking our lucky stars that we aren't having to cope with the temperatures of the north. I'll tell ya, just a couple of years out of the cold thins out your blood right quick! (Too bad it doesn't thin our the rest of me.)  Jambo!      Anyway, today I wanted to share with you a restaurant review of one of my favs, Sanaa , at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge's Kidani Village. It may be a little off the beaten path, but this is one place totally worth taking the time to check out, especially if you're a more adventurous eater, or you enjoy some serious flavor. The Hubs, myself, our 8 year old daughter, D, and our 4 year old son, K, along with our friend and very own Divine Ms. M, got to enjoy lunch at Sanaa this past Saturday. It was the day the Disney's Half Marathon was supposed to take place, but it had to be cancelled due

Part of the refurbishment will include a brand new look for the balloon, complete with a new color scheme.

The outdoor tequileria will be located near the Mexico pavilion, offering hand-crafted margaritas and classic Mexican cuisine like tacos, empanadas, chips and fresh guaca

Happy 2017, Disney Fans!! It's a new year, so let's talk about staying healthy at Disney. Seriously. Ok, ok... I know I blog a lot about high calorie, sugary, salty or deep fried concoctions that you can snack on in the parks. Disney is, after all, a magical world. A world full of fun, adventure, entertainment, and yes, FOOD. And even though the Cast Members make jokes about it, the calories DO, in fact, count on vacation. The good news is, Guests walk a LOT at Disney, and that should help combat some of those indulgent desserts and savory sauces.
