At Disney's Hollywood Studios you can have a real dining experience that transports you back to the 50's into the world of Mom's Kitchen and when the TV was still a relatively new invention. The 50's Prime Time Cafe combines detailed theming to go with a menu filled with comfort food and family favorites like Fried Chicken and Meatloaf. "TV at your table" The … more

Back to the Future: The New "Old" Mickey Mouse Watches at Walt Disney World Main Street Watches We returned this weekend from our trip to Walt Disney World. I have about 1500 photographs and two dozen videos to index, sort and prepare for use in stories for the "A World View" blog. But one set of pictures are of a new Disney Parks product … more
There are as many variations of vacation preparation as there are attractions at Walt Disney World. Some people just show up and wing it; others schedule nearly every hour of the day. Me, I’m something right of center since I do create a summary spreadsheet, make my ADRs well in advance, and compile a list of the “must do” things for my trip, which I carry with … more
We love Walt Disney World for attractions, resorts, restaurants, characters and more. But for many of us who return time after time, there is always something a little less travelled at the "World" enhancing the overall Disney experience and drawing us back. This story is about some of the lesser known or frequented Disney magic that makes our vacations truly special or unique, and which … more
The Monorail at Walt Disney World can get you from here to there, just not everywhere at Walt Disney World. If you are at the Magic Kingdom and you want to go to Epcot, take the Monorail. To get to Polynesian, Grand Floridian and Contemporary Resorts, hop on at the Magic Kingdom and enjoy this wonderful, comfortable transportation; or via Epcot to the TTC adding one easy transfer. … more
Some of the best quick service meals anywhere in Walt Disney World are found in the street-side eateries in Disney Hollywood Studios. Starring Rolls Café on Sunset Avenue is one of favorites for breakfast, lunch and snacks… particularly pastry snacks and a good coffee. It can get a little crowded in the building itself (and difficult to know who is … more
What attraction do you always run to first at Disney and why? I spent a lot of time thinking about this, since for attractions it depends on what park. It also depends on when we're visiting and who is with us, so in the end, there are many attractions I'll try to catch a fast pass or early ride on. Then I remembered about the real first thing we do on our visits, … more
Right next to the entrance of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in Disney Hollywood Studios there is a sign you can feel free to ignore. What the area appears to be is an excavation site of a archeologist dig, with a rope extending out for you to grab and pull… and you should do just that. If you listen closely before you pull the rope (note, the word “NOT” … more
Blogger Bruce and DW Mary Ann captured by a Disney PhotoPass Photographer Today I’d like to talk about the Disney PhotoPass Service. Some people will rave about PhotoPass and others will say the charges are too high for the number of pictures. My opinion is that it depends. It depends on whether this is your first time using … more

WHERE WOULD I LIKE TO SPEND THE MOST TIME IN THE EPCOT WORLD SHOWCASE. I find it very difficult to answer the question of what country in the World Showcase I would like to spend the most time in. It wouldn't be hard for me to spend a great deal of time in any of the nations, and I have done that. Sometimes it's the attraction that becomes my … more

One of the reasons we love Walt Disney World is not just the park attractions or even the resorts and it's not only the restaurants or the wonderful Disney characters. As the readers of A World View know, most of what we write about focuses on these most popular topic areas. But there IS something else about Walt Disney World that brings us back time after time, since … more
Only Disney can celebrate a one-day holiday for two months, so at Walt Disney World, Halloween starts in September and runs right up to (and after) October 31. But if you and your children want to take trick-or-treating to the extreme and you (the adult) wants to dress in costume at the Magic Kingdom, then Halloween season is the holiday visit time for you. … more
There are so many toys and games and stuff you can buy at Walt Disney World, and we have all brought home many of them. But one always intrigued me which I finally acted upon in December 2009 when I purchased my first Balzac balloon ball. I've purchased two others for my grandkids since then. Cast Member Herb selling Balzac Balls in the World Showcase We have all seen the Balzac … more
Trying to choose Mary Ann's and my favorite dining experiences is an extremely difficult selection to pin down. There are so many places at which we love to dine while at Walt Disney World. In reality, during every visit we find a new favorite so the list just keeps on growing. As a result, I will use our last visit as the focus of my post, and then add a highlight five more at the end. … more

Taking a trip to Walt Disney World always sounds like a great idea, but what if you decide two weeks or a month before you travel. Wow, speaking of stress. One of my facebook friends sent me a note asking for suggestions about a last minute visit during Easter. Hey, last minute is bad enough, but during a School Break period like Easter, Oy Vey. However, I had a few ideas, contacted my Magical Blogorail … more
