Posted on by — No Comments ↓

You’re excited and planning your upcoming Disney vacation. But where can you find the best Disney information in the (Internet) world? Pinterest is a great resource for all kinds of information. Especially when you’re overwhelmed with planning your next trip to Walt Disney World. But Pinterest is also full of misinformation. Even I have been known to post outdated info! (Thanks to those of you who help me keep my information fresh!) There is a person following my Pinterest page (and I’m following her back) who is obviously planning a trip to Walt Disney World.

But with the amount of information floating around the internet waves, it’s easy to turn hype into hoax. In 2014, American Idol Experience, Backlot Tour, American Film Institute Showcase and Legend of Jack Sparrow all permanently closed. At the 2015 shareholders meeting, more announcements were made, including Continue reading Disney To Close Down Hollywood Studios? Nope. But It Sure Seems Like It.→

Tips for the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights

To make way for the new Star Wars Land that we talked about yesterday, a popular Walt Disney World holiday tradition is enjoying its last and final year:  The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Disney announced today that The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights will be ending after a 20 year run on January 3, 2016. In order to make room for the new Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land expansions, this popular holiday tradition must end. There are no plans to relocate this spectacular display, much to the disappointment of fans.
