One if by land, Two if by sea

It's been a while since I've posted, so lets get on with another great Detail in Disney!

Today we are heading over to Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom for a great little detail that you will have to look up for.

The Family Album

When I stayed at the world last October it was my first stay using DVC. We managed to get a place at Disney's Old Key West Resort, I was nervous as OKW wasn't on one of my favourites to stay at. But boy was I wrong! This resort is the most amazing place I have stayed at, there's so much charm about the place.

There are obviously lots of details at OKW but this is a more special one that I am going to show you.

Gator Aid

Sorry for the lack of updates on the blog. I have been really concentrating on my blog for the WDWFanZone. I really wanted the post to be good as there are so many great writers on the blog and I owe Lisa and Stuart alot for asking me to write for their team. Anyway its up there now so go check out http://www.wdwfanzone.com/ for my post on Mickey's ToonTown Fair.

Today I want to share a story with you. The story shows how the imagineers can make a story for anything. Blizzard Beach is a great park, to have snow in Florida is a crazy thing but it also has to be explained why there is snow.

Lets take a look at how the legend of Blizzard Beach began.

up on the roof

Whats up everyone! I've been busy working on my first blog for WDW Fan Zone which has now been published! go check it out http://www.wdwfanzone.com/  I've also been on holiday just to get away for a week.
But i'm back and this week we have a great detail and a great example of character design.

Lets head over to Dinoland U.S.A at Disney's Animal Kingdom and look at Restaurantasaurus

Step into the zone!

Hey everyone!

This week is going to be a different type of post! I am going to tell you some exciting news that's coming to the Disney community TODAY!

A while ago now Stuart Sternberg (DisneyGeekDad on twitter) contacted me and asked if I wanted to be a writer for an upcoming project him and Lisa Battista (DisneyExplorer on twitter). I would be crazy to turn this opportunity down, so i accepted and am pleased to announce that today is the launch of WDW Fan Zone!

WDW Fan Zone is a source of information for 1st time Disney vacationers and Disney fanatics alike. There are 25 columnists and that will surely grow. The columnists write about their Disney knowledge and experiences over a variety of topics. There will definitely be something for everybody! So if you are a Disney geek, fan or wanting to find out why we love Disney then head over to http://www.wdwfanzone.com/

I am really excited to be a part of this and am going to put my all into it, as there are many great writers on the site, and to be among them is an honour!

So there's only one more question.......

Are you ready to step into the zone??

Royal Steed

This week I wanted to show you a great detail at one of the most iconic attractions at Disney World.

It's changed name, but it's stayed the same and is a great attraction for kids and even adults.

Crates, Crates, Crates

Happy New Year all!

It's been a busy few weeks with Christmas and New Year but lets get back into normality with some Disney.

Lets have a look at the crates at Min and Bills Dockside Diner at Hollywood Studios!

Bright Studio Lights

Hello people! WOW its been a crazy couple of weeks. work has been non stop and this is the last day off I get before Christmas day. That's what I get for being in retail.

Anyway lets talk some Disney!

This week it marks the 12 days of Christmas, which means everyone will be putting up their decorations and trees. One of the most important features of Christmas for me is the lights! The wonderful flashing, colourful lights can change your mood in an instant. You are rarely sad when gazing upon Christmas lights and sometimes astounded especially if you are at the Hollywood Studios and looking at The Osbourne Family lights!

So lets look at the history of one of the greatest spectacles at Disney World.

Is Randy Newman Playing?

This weeks post is only going to be a quick one as I have been swamped with work. At work this week we have had Toy Story 3 playing everyday and it had me thinking about a great detail at Disney's Hollywood Studios that most people might not notice.

So lets head over to Pixar Place and find out what I'm talking about.



Who lives in a place like this?

This week I wanted to take a look at a great detail at Animal Kingdom that many people will probably ask why is it there?

So join me as we venture into Asia and take a look at the Kali River Rapids Fastpass building.

Welcome foolish mortals

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope everyone had a good time!

This week as it has been Halloween we are going to visit the Grim Grinning Ghosts and look at the gravestones of the Haunted Mansion!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Hey everyone! I am back from my 2 week vactation at WDW and have lots of details to share with you!
Sorry for not keeping in touch on Twitter, this is due to my iphone being european and having massive roaming charges when in the US!

But lets get back to it and have a look at an amazing detail at Hollywood and Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios!

The Patron Saint Of Soldiers

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend! This week will be the last post in a few weeks as I am heading out to the world for 2 weeks! But have no fear as you can follow my journey around WDW on Twitter: @detailsofdisney.

With that out of the way lets have a look at this weeks detail as we head to the Germany pavilion at Epcot.

So this is how sausages are made

I know what you are saying........ Weird title!
Have I gone insane? Am I hungry?

Well the answer is no, as this weeks blog is about a great bit of detail that we find in Disney's Animal Kingdom.

So get ready to say "Jambo" as we travel to Africa!

The queen of Lake Buena Vista

Welcome to this week's Details of Disney blog post!
This week I want to talk about an icon at Downtown Disney,
and that icon is The "Empress Lilly" AKA Fulton's Crab House.

So come on in and let's look at the history of the Empress Lilly Riverboat!

East Vs. West

For this weeks blog post someone asked me what is the difference between Future World East and Future World West at Epcot. I thought this would be an interesting thing to write about as not many people would notice.

So Let's take a look at Future World at Epcot!

That's Amore

Welcome to another week of the Details Of Disney blog! This week will only be a short one as I have been working six day weeks! Thank you work!

So this week lets look at Tony's Town Square Restaurant!

A long time ago in a queue line not far away.

This week we are carrying on with our Star Tours blog post and looking at the queue of Star Tours.
The attraction closes in just over 2 weeks so there's still time to go see all these great details a final time before they (maybe) disappear forever.

So let's have a look at the Star Tours queue!

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Welcome aboard this weeks Details of Disney blog post!
This weekend hosts the "Last Tour To Endor" at Star Tours in Hollywood Studios.

So lets get in our Starspeeder 3000 and blast off to a galaxy far far away as we look at a little detail in Star Tours!

One Big Kid

Welcome to another post on the Details Of Disney This week we are heading back to the 70's and visiting the Pop Century resort!

It's not just the theme parks that have amazing detail, the resorts do to. Let's have a look at a great little detail that not many people would know about.
