MyWDW: A Fan's Guide to Walt Disney World
The Most Magical Place On Earth
I'm a big fan of Walt Disney World, and love sharing my knowledge with other people. Whether it be tips to get the most out of your visit, the best places to eat, the histories of the attractions, or even the location of some Hidden Mickeys, it always gives me a thrill when friends or family decide to visit Disney for the first time and I get to share with them. This brought me to decide to make a series of lenses here on Squidoo, sharing all these little tidbits with you. This lens is the h...

MyWDW: My Top Ten Walt Disney World Snacks
My Favorite WDW Snacks
There are so many places to get snacks at Disney World that it's not even funny. Limitless options for a quick bite to eat, never mind all the wonderful sit-down dining experiences. However, today I am going to explore my favorite of the snacks you can get either at carts along the street, or one of the many counter service restaurants. I won't be delving into anything that could be considered a complete meal, this is pretty much all food you can eat while moving (though some of them, you ma...

MyWDW: The Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion has long been my favorite ride in the entire Walt Disney World resort. It stands out from the rest of the Disney rides because of its very macabre nature - focused on death, rather than the cheerful, bright nature of the majority of the Magic Kingdom. This, of course, is not to say that the Haunted Mansion is dark and dreary by any means... in fact, it's quite "lively," to make a somewhat ironic statement. The mansion has seen some changes over the years, for better or wo...

MyWDW: The Tower of Terror
The Tower of Terror
As you walk down Sunset Boulevard in Disney's Hollywood Studios, the first thing you are certain to notice is the monstrous hotel at the end of the street. It appears that it at one point may have been beautiful and luxurious, but now it simply looks abandoned and haunted, showing scars from a lightning strike decades ago. The second thing you will notice as you approach... is the screams. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is among Walt Disney World's most thrilling rides, and the thrills do...

MyWDW: It's a Small World
It's a Small World
It's a Small World, after all... perhaps the most infamous ride in all of the Disney parks, and certainly the one most which people claim has a song that will stick in their heads for hours afterwards. Is this ride really so bad, though? We'll explore the history of the attraction, and, indeed, that incredibly catchy song in this article... I'll also supply a link to a video of the theme. Sing along if you like... or avoid it all together. But I'm pretty sure you really want to give it a lis...

Walt Disney World on a Budget
Going to Walt Disney World on a Budget
Disney World is one of my favorite places for a family vacation. When I was growing up my parents and I would go just about every other year. Now I get to go with my own daughter and husband. I was 2 years old on my first visit and I've been 19 times so far. :) I'm a big fan of Disney, but not of spending a fortune to go. I think we do a pretty good job of planning- cutting back on most things and splurging on a few. On this lens I'll share what we do traveling as a family to Walt Disney Wor...

MyWDW: Spaceship Earth
Spaceship Earth
The centerpiece of Epcot, often referred to as "the big golf ball" or "the Epcot ball," Spaceship Earth is an eighteen story geodesic sphere which houses an attraction bearing the same name. The phrase Spaceship Earth was coined by Buckminster Fuller, an American engineer and futurist, who wrote in his book entitled Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth: "...we can make all of humanity successful through science's world-engulfing industrial evolution provided that we are not so foolish as to ...

MyWDW: Star Tours
Star Tours
Every kid remembers watching Star Wars for the first time ever. Whether you began with the original trilogy, the prequels, or the Clone Wars television series, your senses were filled with the sounds of space combat, lightsabers clashing, and the screech of a certain astromech droid. Walt Disney World decided to capture that feeling and place guests inside the films in their fantastic motion-simulator ride Star Tours, which took riders on an exciting journey to Endor, dodging ice crystals in ...

MyWDW Restaurant Review: Sanaa
Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge's Kidani Village
Sanaa, Swahili for "a work of art," is a full service restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge's Kidani Village. They serve a fusion of African and Indian cuisines against the backdrop of the savanna themed courtyard of the Kidani Village, where you'll see giraffes, zebras, and other African animals as they wander past.

MyWDW: The Land Pavilion
The Land Pavilion
The Land is Disney's look at agriculture and humanity's effect on the natural world around us, as well as giving a breathtaking look at the California countryside on Soarin', which I will highlight in greater detail in a page all its own. The Land exists to show just how rich our Earth is and what steps we need to take to care for it properly, and it's done to great effect. Join me now as we go through the various attractions at the Land pavilion, and know what to look out for and expect on ...
