Walt Disney loved rail. His parks are full of them. If it’s good enough for Walt, it’s good enough for us.
For some, a Disney Boat Cruise sounds as close as it gets to hell on earth. However, if trapping yourself in the middle of the ocean with screaming children and struggling actors in costume sounds like a good time, please keep reading. For the first time ever, Disney Cruise Line is heading Down Under to offer a ‘magical vacation’…
By any measurement, two miles a minute is fast, and you're probably expecting this to be some kind of experimental speed measurement. Or maybe it's the latest idea from Elon Musk, a rocket tunnel under the sands of Nevada. Or could it be some other as-yet unknown vehicle where you need to wear…
.... that likes taking the scenic route? R2-Detour. Oh, ha ha ha. We crack ourselves up sometimes. And why not? You only live once. Depending on where you live, enjoying the Disney experience may never present itself to you for one reason or another. And that would be…
Let's have a moment of silence for those who have tried and have failed. Here are just a few. We're sure you'll recognize a few: Sir James Dyson, Steven Spielberg, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling, Abraham Lincoln, Jerry Seinfeld... the list goes on and on. But, as…
Our wonderful planet has no end of fabulous things to do, no matter where we are, or how old we are. And there are few things that create genuine pent-up excitement more than amusement parks. The prospect of visiting will always thrill the kids - and maybe even some parents (wallet considerations…
In some parts of the world (where we live, for example) it's cold and covered in snow. You need to scrape the snow off your car every morning (and every evening) if you're still a working stiff. You can never predict what the situation will be like tomorrow, as the meteorologists often have…
There is never a bad time to celebrate The Beatles. Can you think of many bands who connected so completely and creatively as The Fab Four? And this legend was only reinforced with Peter Jackson's Get Back series on Disney (which made your Admin burst into tears (of joy) several times.) Having…
In addition to its other many allures, Canada cannot escape the universal tagging of poutine. (In case you're not up to date, poutine is a sumptuous Canadian concoction made of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. It's addictive) Not that we Candians complain, but c'mon now, there is more to the country than just that.

If you visit our site, you'll know how much we love history, especially since we don't feel as old once we've completed the article. It's a labour of love. And one can only imagine the labour that was put into building these almost impenetrable edifices, all those hundreds of years ago.

Start saving, kids!
If you're a Star Wars fan - and who isn't - you might want to save faster, because in 2020, Disney will be opening their Star Wars- themed hotel.
But may the force be with you if you're trying to cough up some money.

Even Disney has created movies from his work: The Little Mermaid, The Emperor’s New Groove as well as Frozen 1 and…
Whether we want to admit it or not, almost all of us feel a little tingle when we think of Disney parks. The company knows how to push our buttons, and even lead us to new places. But, one of those places - Epcot - in Florida is a bit of an enigma to many. …
