In the world of theme parks, Disney rules the worldwide roost. Of course, Disney gave birth to the very first modern theme park when Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California in 1955. Since that time, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts – a subset of the Walt Disney Company – has continued to grow its worldwide theme park presence, and currently gobbles up a massive percentage of the market share.

Given the prices of park entry passes at Walt Disney World, it’s tempting to attack the theme parks at full speed and keep going until you pass out in bed as soon as the last firework has exploded. However, visitors escorting young children are often forced to take an extended midday break to allow the little ones to sleep, cool down, and clear their brains after theme park sensory overload. As you sit in your resort room with the minutes ticking by, it’s easy to feel as though your money is slipping away at the same time.

Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom represents an idealized turn-of-the-century town square. Inspired by Walt Disney’ own memories of growing up in small town America, the street is a tribute to optimism and community, nostalgia and progress. It has many terrific details that support the stories of the place, but sadly some of those details are disappearing.

The Carousel of Progress is one of my favorite attractions. It is an audio animatronic show in a revolving theatre, set amid the futuristic spires of Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. The show was designed by Walt Disney himself for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, after which it spent seven years at Disneyland Park in California. Shortly after the opening of Magic Kingdom, the entire show was transported to Florida, where it has lived ever since.

The World Showcase at Disney World’s Epcot theme park opened in 1982 with pavilions dedicated to nine countries from across the globe. The countries represented three continents, but the large continent of Africa was conspicuously absent. Nevertheless, the World Showcase left room for several additional pavilions, and an area dedicated to the countries of Equatorial Africa was already in its conceptual stages by the time Epcot snipped its opening ribbon.

Many people plan trips to Disney World to celebration special events – everything from a birthday to a graduation, from a family reunion to, yes, winning the Super Bowl.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness is just a few miles away from the hustle and bustle of the Magic Kingdom. In fact, it is just a short boat or bus ride away. But Fort Wilderness feels like it is far away from the crowds and miles of concrete that make up the busiest theme park in the world. Fort Wilderness is forested and generally quiet. It feels like the great outdoors. And if you like horses, you will love Fort Wilderness.

If you have ever been to Walt Disney World, you have probably been delighted by the parades that march down the Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom or wind around the streets of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The parades are a joy to watch, but they are also a marvel of technology. While the technology is well hidden behind the scenes, it is critical to the magical form of entertainment that Disney does like no other – a Disney parade.

When you ask people to think about Walt Disney World, they typically think about Cinderella Castle. But what comes to mind next?

A few years ago the economy was in the dumps. Like almost all companies in the United States, Disney World saw its revenues drop and it needed to cut back on expenses wherever it could. According to the Orlando Sentinel, one place they created some savings was on their property tax bill.

If you travel with a large group, you will soon discover there are advantages and disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages are obvious – more people to move from place to place, more people to come to an agreement on a decision, and more people to pay for! But there are some interesting advantages to having a large group, including the option for more fun. But one unique advantage or a larger group is using a runner to get FastPasses.

The Disney Parks blog is reporting that the eight person Voices Of Liberty group, which sings a cappella American classics in the grand rotunda in the lobby of the American Adventure attraction at Epcot, will soon have a sister group singing in the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland, which is home to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction.

May people today are writing about the importance of getting all the little details right when it comes to running a business. And these days Apple, Inc. gets plenty of kudos for getting all the details right. But Joshua Gans recently wrote an article on the Harvard Business Review web site (Source) that pointed out that long before Apple was creating success by focusing on details, Walt Disney was creating amazing experiences by focusing on detail.

And with Disney’s marketing machine in overdrive, many girls also dream of becoming at Disney Princess – wearing a beautiful gown, having their hair made up just so, and meeting their Prince Charming.

Walt Disney was always interested in using technology to improve entertainment. Whether it was the development of the multi-plane camera to better simulate depth in animated films or the invention of “Fantasound” to create new audio experiences for movies, Disney embraced technology. And now the company that carries on his name and his legacy continues that love affair with technology. There have been many stories recently about how Walt Disney will use RFID technology.

We all know that Disney World is a magical place, but it is still subject to the laws of physics and nature. That includes the law of building that says that construction projects are never on time or on budget. We can’t speak t o the budget side of Disney’s most recent resort addition, the Art Of Animation, but we have learned that Disney has created some amazing magic in getting the hotel open earlier than originally planned.

When most people think of going to Disney World with children, they think of laughter, happy times, and special memories that last a lifetime. And that is often the case. However, not all children enjoy everything about Disney World – especially if they have special needs.

Because of vacation schedules, many people end up spending holidays at Walt Disney World. And while some people would think that spending Christmas or Easter in a Disney Resort hotel would be a bit odd, for many it is just the type of change of pace that can make a holiday extra special. Disney understands people are away from their homes and their normal traditions, so they have some interesting services that help make Disney World feel a little more like home. One of those services is selling Easter Baskets.

Each Disney Resort hotel has a unique personality, created primarily through the theme of each location. Disney’s Contemporary Resort transports you to the future – or at least the as seen in the 1960s and 1970s, while Disney’s Wilderness Lodge takes you to the Pacific Northwest. But while the personality of the resorts are very unique, many of the most fundamental design elements – such as the check in counter and the layout of the food court – are similar. That will change a bit at Disney’s Art Of Animation Resort.

For many of us, a chance to get away from the daily grind of grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning is a big part of a vacation. We look forward to visiting fun and interesting restaurants where someone else does the hard work and we enjoy the delicious results. Disney has a huge array of restaurants.

When most people think of going on vacation, they think about fun, relaxation, and adventure. And they might also think about exploring new cuisines and enjoying meals out – as well as skipping the cooking and the dishes. For people who have special dietary needs, however, it can be very difficult to go on a vacation at all. Many resorts don’t do anything to help meet special dietary needs. Fortunately, Walt Disney World has a terrific – but not perfect – reputation for accommodating special dietary needs.

When you think of food and you think of an amusement park, you probably think about hamburgers and fried hot dogs on sticks.

It is a theme park, and it has many more food options then you might ever imagine.

Since early 2009 Epcot has hosted the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure. There is where you get a “Kimmunicator” (which is actually a Motorolla i870 phone) and head out on a mission to save the world. Along the way you get to interact with many of the elements of World Showcase. While the basic game is unchanged, the characters will change. It is time to say good bye to Kim Possible, a show which ran from 2002-2007.

As times have changed, so have the tools available to anyone looking to plan a vacation to Walt Disney World. In the old days, people had to fully rely on touring books and travel agents.

And even more recently, iPhone apps have come on the scene to help you plan your vacation.

Walt Disney World fans everywhere have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in Florida.

Typically Disney’s Animal Kingdom closes relatively early, especially when compared to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Why is that? Many people say it is because of all the real animals that make Animal Kingdom their home. Since they call it a day when the sun goes down, the signature attraction - Kilimanjaro Safaris Jeep Tour – would also need to shut down. But aside from that, all the other attractions could remain open. And many of them have all the facilities and lighting needed to stay open after the sun goes down.

If there is one thing that many diehard Disney World fans have in common, it is that they have strong opinions. And, I might be so bold to say, they have those opinions even when they don’t have all of the facts – where they are simply reacting to rumor or assumption. This seems to be especially true regarding the new Disney world xPass system – the Next Gen project that is designed to take today’s FastPass system to the next level and allow everyone to spend far less time waiting in lines at Disney World.

Part of the fun of a vacation to Walt Disney World can be picking up a few souvenirs of your trip so that you can remember the fun and magic once you are back at home. On the positive side, there is a nearly endless array of souvenir options for your shopping pleasure around Disney World.

Epcot is truly a unique theme park experience. Yes, all Walt Disney theme parks are special. But not all are truly unique. The Magic Kingdom parks are quite similar at Disneyland, Walt Disney world, Tokyo, and Paris. Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park is all about animals – and there are other parks focused on animals too, like Busch Gardens in Tampa or Sea World in Orlando. And Disney’s Hollywood Studios is all about movies – just like the Universal Studios parks in California and Florida.
