2020 has looked very different than anyone could have ever imagined. Walt Disney World decided to shut down the parks back in March because of COVID-19 and recently reopened, but things look quite a bit different than we’re used to. There were some updates and plans that have been changed or canceled, and many new protocols have been put in ...

Some of these are harmless mistruths, while others could completely change the way you plan a trip and cause you to miss out on something really great. One park that has a particularly large number of negative and downright silly lies floating around ...

On Monday, July 19, my daughter and I finally returned to EPCOT. It was the last park that I had visited before the closure, and I was anxious to go back. I had heard of a few problems from reopening day, so a small part of me was nervous. I had seen people use a face covering loophole several times ...

The 2020 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is set to begin on March 4, and this year it will run through June 1. On Wednesday, February 26 I was invited to be part of a very small media group that was given a preview of some of the food and merchandise. The preview was held in the Festival Kitchen. ...

Just because it is a short season does not mean that the annual festival isn’t jammed packed. Here are a few of the highlights. The cost is included in Epcot admission, although food and merchandise will of ...

The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays will begin on November 29, but on November 22 I was part of a hosted media group that was given a sneak peek at what is to come. Festival of the Holidays used to be called Holidays Around the World, and it looks like this is going to be the best year yet! ...

For years I have wanted to do the Backstage Magic Tour at Walt Disney World.  I always decided that it was just too expensive to add to our trips, and I kept putting it off.  With all the announcements of changes coming to Epcot I decided now or never.
