    I'm Here!

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    I've just arrived at Orlando International Airport for my first ever solo trip to Walt Disney World. I'm so happy to be here but I'm also a bit nervous about traveling here by myself. I think that this trip is definitely going to be an experience! This is the bus that's going to take me to Walt Disney World, so let's get started!Leggi altro

  • And We're Off!

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    We're just starting to get going and I'm happy to see that the bus is so empty. I'm hoping that there won't be too many stops until I'm dropped off. I don't think that there will be. I said before what a great service Disney's Magical Express is. Well, it's great for Disney too. Because they are taking me to the hotel, I'm not renting a car. Without a car, I can't get out of the Disney resort to eat, shop, or visit other attractions in Orlando. All of the money I spend on this trip will go to the Disney company and all it cost them is a round trip bus ride. That's good business sense.Leggi altro

  • It's For You!

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    I remember these Mickey Mouse phones when I was a kid! I wanted to get one so bad but my parents refused, telling me that it was a waste of money and a regular phone works just as well for much cheaper. I disagreed and kept saying that I was going to get one when I grew up. Of course, by that time, they weren't being made anymore. I never ended up getting one.Leggi altro

  • Duncan Imperial

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    I had a couple of yoyo's when I was a kid also. They looked just like this one too. Duncan Imperial was the best brand out there. Although yoyo's were more of a 60's thing, they were still popular when I was young. This was seen in the 60's area of Pop Century, in fact. I need to pass through there to get to the reception area and bus stops.Leggi altro

  • Disney Transportation

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    A lot of people like to complain about the transportation system at Walt Disney World but I've never really had any problems with it. Yes, it can be slow at the end of the day and the parks are closing and I've had to stand a couple of times but, on the plus side, I don't have to deal with parking fees, looking for a spot to park, or dealing with traffic.Leggi altro

  • No Tram Rides

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    In what felt like no time at all, the bus dropped me off at Disney Hollywood Studios. While it was great being dropped off so close to the park entrance, I have to admit that I miss riding on the parking tram. Seeing that I'll be using Disney transportation this whole trip, I'm not going to be riding on the trams at all.Leggi altro

  • Oscar's Garage

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    A walk through your favorite Disney theme parks might remind you of another time, when filling your gas tank was an interaction and an experience, not simply just a passing transaction that emptied your wallet.
    As you step into Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’ll find that you can still get ‘Super Service’ at Oscars. It has to be super service, because the old tow truck advertised towing for the stars. That meant everything had to be squeaky clean – for a service station at least. Even the attendants dressed in spotless white uniforms would meet you with a smile as you drove in to fill up your car, while providing you with a cold beverage to go.

  • Crossroads of the World

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    I got into the park very quickly because I'm using something new that Disney World is trying out, a magic band. In fact, I'm part of the test group for this device. It's like a watch and a chip inside of it holds all your information. It has your park tickets, your fast passes, credit card information and it also works as your room key. This is an amazing gadget and I think it's going to be used for even more things in the Disney Parks one day.Leggi altro

  • The Darkroom

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    This should be my favorite shop at Disney Hollywood Studios but, while I love the look of this store, it's actually quite disappointing inside. The photography gear for sale is almost non-existent and seems to be more for people who don't know very much, if anything, about photography. It's not really fair to expect this small shop to be a photography store but I did expect a bit more than photo albums and autograph books.Leggi altro

  • Head to Toe

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    From the name of this shop, I'm guessing that this is some kind of a clothing store. It used to be that I wouldn't shop very much until the end of the day because I didn't want to carry everything around with me all day long. Now, since I'm staying at a Disney resort hotel, I can buy stuff and then just pick it up at my hotel later. How convenient!Leggi altro

  • Go!

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    It's the little details like this that make me love coming to the Disney Parks so much. Yes, it's something so small and seemingly insignificant but all of those little things add up to create a totally immersive atmosphere like no other. This is the sort of thing that keeps me, and so many others, coming back.Leggi altro

  • Disney & Co.

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    Hollywood Boulevard serves as the park's main entrance and is lined with themed streetscape facades and venues selling Disney merchandise and park services. Michael Eisner, who had a major part in the park's creation ever since the earliest development, demanded the opening land operate on the same principle as Main Street, U.S.A. but in a style more fitting to the Studios.Leggi altro

  • Hollywood and Vine

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    I've eaten here before but it was many years ago during a trip to Orlando with Susan, Dennis, Sandy and Veronica. She was so young then! I remember it being a character meal and we met Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Chip and Dale. I remember it being a good meal and that we all had lots of fun. I wouldn't mind eating here again sometime but not this time. I wouldn't do a character meal on my own.Leggi altro

  • S.S. Down the Hatch

    21 ottobre 2013, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    Drop your anchor at the rustic “S.S. Down the Hatch” ship on Echo Lake for a quick meal at the Dockside Diner. Formerly known as Min and Bill’s Dockside Diner, this spot is open during lunch and dinner in the Echo Lake area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. There are plenty of tables right in front, with lots of umbrellas to keep guests comfortable.Leggi altro
