Monday, August 31, 2015. Watch Me Grow: Ariel, 4 days. Introducing *NEW* Storybook Sessions! Remember when you were little? How you'd listen to stories of princesses and pirates and brave knights and wish so badly that you could step into that world and live your own fairytale? I bet at some point you even had a homemade cardboard sword or a pipe cleaner princess tiara. The imaginary world of make-believe is as natural to a child as breathing. What if we could capture that imagination and make it real?

Keys to the Magic Kingdom: Universal Studios Orlando Tips and Review
http://keystomagickingdom.blogspot.com/2015/02/universal-studios-orlando-tips-and.html
Monday, February 2, 2015. Universal Studios Orlando Tips and Review. The last time I visited Universal Studios Orlando, Islands of Adventure had barely begun construction. Back to the Future, Jaws, and the King Kong rides were still the main draws, and Wizarding World of Harry Potter wasn't even a thought. Even though I had been several times as a kid, going into our 1-day, 2-park visit last week, I felt very much green in the ways of Universal. The parks typically open at 9 am, although we arrived earli...

Keys to the Magic Kingdom: January 2012
http://keystomagickingdom.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Just one week until I'm back, zooming across Space Mountain, dodging the yeti on Everest, and speeding around Test Track. Wow, those 100 days went by fast! Now we're getting down to crunch time. This is the part of planning where you "dot your i's and cross your t's." Everyone has their own way of doing things, but here's my "Week Before" checklist. 1 Vouchers and Reservation Information. 2 Double-Check the Park Calendars. 3 Check the Extended Weather Forecast. In the first env...

Keys to the Magic Kingdom: February 2013

Sunday, February 17, 2013. From Orlando to Anaheim. That's how many miles separate Walt's biggest dream from his most daring. One started out as an orange grove in southern California. The other as a cow pasture in central Florida. People thought he was crazy when he bought the first one, and a genius when he bought the second. I think he was probably a little bit of both. Most Disney kids in the good ole USA grow up one of two ways: The kids in the western half of the country are raised at Disney. So no...

Keys to the Magic Kingdom: July 2015
http://keystomagickingdom.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. The Money Debate: Go big? Or Go a lot? Does that mean you will have to give up certain things like your desired deluxe hotel, dining in certain expensive restaurants, or buying out the souvenir shops? We chose to splurge for an early character breakfast at Crystal Palace. I've always wanted to be the first into the Magic Kingdom in the morning, so this was my birthday present to myself. So worth getting up early and spending the extra cash on a buffet! Next time, we are hoping to m...

Keys to the Magic Kingdom: September 2013
http://keystomagickingdom.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. You just circle the lot, section, and row that you're in and when you come back just show it to the attendant. Pretty nifty, huh? Is this not the sweetest thing? Walt had a personal apartment above the firehouse. He spent many nights in Disneyland with his family. Now, a light is always kept burning in the upstairs window in his honor. As we made to go over the bridge to Adventureland, we finally saw that the park wasn't quite entirely open yet&...

Here are some tips for expectant mothers in the parks, as well as some tips on getting great maternity photos. 2 Try new things. 3 Avoid certain attractions. This applies to ...

Sunday, January 6, 2013. What's the most frequently asked Disney question? How do I save money on my trip? If there is one bad thing about a Disney vacation, it is the price. Yes, they are expensive. or they. Disney almost always has some sort of special deal going. We get teasers in the mail all the time. The offers are so tempting, it's really hard to ignore them! You can go to the Disney website and sign up for the mailing list. You'll also get special offers through email. Start a Disney Fund. Too ma...

Monday, January 5, 2015. Miranda's Top 5 Most Underrated WDW Attractions You've Probably Never Experienced. Epcot has three 360° films on World Showcase. They are all great films, but my personal favorite is O' Cananda, tucked away in the Canada pavilion. When it first debuted, the 360° Circle Vision was AMAZING, and still is pretty neat. Giant screens surround you on all sides, making the breathtaking vistas of the Canadian landscape even more so. Walt Disney World Railroad. So it's a little corny.O...
