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’…
Noooo. It's Butlins! We're all about fun. And we're all about history. Put them together and the fun never stops. There was a period in history where more and more families were seeing more and more money in their bank accounts. This also aligns with them having more children who…
Tip-toe through the tulips. We're feeling a bit frisky for this post, hence the title. We suppose that it could remain the play on words in the title, and we're sure that most of you know what Encanta means, given that it is all over Disney products. But, we're not here to…
We were looking through some family photos the other day, mostly of my mother and father. They came from a place in Europe where money was scarce in the post-war 1950's. But they still endured. Eventually they ended up in the USA. But they never wasted a moment in living their lives…
As we awoke this morning, we were greeted with yet another new place on the planet to enjoy and sing about. Just outside of Paris is a, perhaps, little known ville called Montévrain and it's a place where we all might want to have a look. At first impression, it doesn't look like a…
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.
For…
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.
But, castle-building is not a…
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.
Disney has released plans for the property. The company says guests…
Almost everyone has heard of Hans Christian Andersen.
His most famous works include The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Princess and the Pea, The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina and so many more.
Even Disney has created movies from his work: The Little Mermaid, The Emperor’s New Groove as well as Frozen 1 and…
