D23 Magic & Meriment 2012 Evening One at Walt Dsiney World – Holiday Dessert Buffet & Fireworks, Italy Pavilion, Epcot

Being able to attend a dessert buffet and watch the Epcot fireworks from a World Showcase Pavilion (ended up being Italy), was one of the selling points when nora suggested to nick that we attend the D23 Magic & Merriment event. We’ve both seen many blog posts about dessert buffets at each of the theme

Hospitality Suite inside American Adventure on Day One of D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World

During the first day of the D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World, we were given access to the Hospitality Suite at American Adventure. There was a private elevator, actually a bit of a misnomer because it’s the same elevator used to transport handicapped guests upstairs but there is a second set of

Christmas 2012 Shop Window Displays at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

At Walt Disney World it is all about story and theming. So as you might imagine all the shop windows at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are decorated for the holidays. Most guests just rush right past headed for the rides and attractions. So to share some extra magic we decided to post a few photos of

Details from The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights in 2012

Today we will look at some details from The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The lights were originally owned by the Osborne family. Walt Disney World pays homage to the family members every year by “hanging” the family stockings over a fake/light fireplace. The patriarch, Jennings, has his stocking at the top – and

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights 2012

 

I will not go over the story of the Osborne family again. If you are a Walt Disney World fan you probably know the story. If you don’t, nora wrote about it in our 2010 review of Disney’s Holiday D-Lights. Instead, I will just share the best photos I took during several visits

Happy New Year’s Eve

Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone!

Nora and I may have seen two New Year’s “in” by staying up past midnight twice since 2000. So we will be early to bed tonight and early to rise on the 1st. Hopefully, we will go out to a yummy breakfast – maybe Earl of Sandwich? On Thanksgiving

Lunch at Brown Derby

We recently found ourselves at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with an appetite – we didn’t want “counter service” and we didn’t want large meals – solution… sharing appetizers from the Hollywood Brown Derby 🙂

We arrived around 2:00 without ADRs, and we seated immediately. It was cool & comfortable, not overly noisy either. Nora started with

Osborne Lights – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of our favorite things to see at Walt Disney World during the holidays.

Disney’s Holiday D-Lights Tour Review – 2010

In addition to the Yuletide Fantasy Tour (backstage, review here), we went on the Holiday D-Lights Tour. This is a “new” tour, offered for the first time in 2009… as such, we weren’t at all sure of what would be happening or if we would enjoy it a little bit or a whole lot. We
