“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is one of my favorite stories of all time. I’ve seen countless theatrical productions of this classic tale and have enjoyed various movie versions throughout the years. But did you know that there have been touches of “A Christmas Carol” found in the Disney Parks along with some unrealized concepts that never came to fruition?
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was awesome in the truest sense of the word. Even if you weren’t a particular fan of what some may consider over-the-top tackiness, I’m sure you would still be in awe at the scale of this enormous holiday light display. Sadly, we all had to say goodbye to it back in 2015 to make way for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. But what if the lights were brought back to the Disney Parks in a different location? Where might they be displayed?
A lot of folks’ earliest memories of visiting a Disney Park are the traditional and iconic dark rides like the ones found in Fantasyland. They’ve been a staple of the Disney Parks since day one of Disneyland and are appropriate for guests of all ages to experience. On opening day, there was Peter Pan’s Flight,…
If you’re anything like me, you’re missing Disney nighttime spectaculars a lot, especially the fireworks. It really is the perfect end to a Disney day that many of us often took for granted. As Walt liked to call it, it’s the “kiss goodnight.”
I love Thanksgiving. I know a lot of people simply feel like it’s just the holiday stuck in between Halloween and Christmas, but I love it and I wish the Disney Parks did more to celebrate this holiday.
I think we can all agree that the most exciting thing to do when going on a theme park vacation is the new stuff – or at least the stuff that is new to you. On my recent visit to Orlando, I was absolutely blown away by my first experience at Universal Orlando’s The Bourne Stuntacular.
If you’re a repeat visitor to Walt Disney World, a different and fun thing to do is take one of the many behind-the-scenes tours that are normally offered. I’ve taken several of them through the years and it’s always been such a fun experience learning more about a place where I like to spend my…
When Universal Studios Florida opened on June 7, 1990, one of the most epic and reliable attractions available was the “Ghostbusters Spooktacular.” I remember experiencing this show as a kid and being surprised when such a unique attraction closed just six years after the park’s opening. Since it was such a short-lived attraction, let’s take…
I am a huge fan of the “Scream” franchise. I remember as a young teenager hearing so much buzz surrounding the film. It was a sleeper hit that kept growing week after week. It seemed like everyone had seen it except me.
As a kid, I always thought that if an attraction was in a Universal Studios theme park, that meant it was a Universal film. As I grew older, I started to recognize that isn’t the case, and that a lot of the time, intellectual properties are licensed in order to use certain characters in the…
