Hi everyone!
The last few days have been busy at Walt Disney World. Unfortunately, one of those changes was the closing of Starabilias. A unique shop on the Downtown Disney West End, there have been rumors of it closing for a while (below left and right).
Hi everyone!
The DVC Bay Lake Tower is just a few months from opening and everything looks nearly finished on the front exterior of the building (below left). A view of the relocated tennis courts (below right) from high atop the Contemporary Resort.
Hi everyone!
Yesterday was the first day that the Disney Vacation Club Treehouse Villas were in soft opening. We have some video and photos!
*UPDATE - I now have photos and video from INSIDE a Treehouse taken on the official opening day available HERE!
The front sign (below, left) is at the entrance for those who are driving in. The boat dock (below, right) is serviced by the DVC resort ferry, which also makes a stop at the new dock next to the soon-to-open Paradiso 37.
Hi everyone!
I am currently working on a very special DVD project featuring some recently discovered vintage Walt Disney World footage circa 1986! I am enjoying working on this very much and being able to rediscover some things I never thought I would get to enjoy again. Just a few highlights are the original Disney Shopping Village, The Contemporary and Polynesian Village before the Grand Floridian was built (although you see the land being cleared), Discovery Island, classic Epcot Center, Magic Kingdom and much more. Watch this site for more details on this exciting project! Also, go to Mousesteps for a new contest for an Epcot Flower and Garden Screensaver, the contest ends June 3rd.
Today we feature the latest happenings around Walt Disney World, starting with the test of the Club Penguin meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (below)! The two-week test ended yesterday, and there is no word yet on whether the meet and greet will be brought back. Look for characters soon from Pixar’s UP!
Hi everyone!
I am very happy with the reaction to my latest DVD release, Jeff Lange’s Disney-MGM Studios Parade Classics – 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition (for more information or to order, click HERE)! Last week was a huge one for Walt Disney World, I had a wonderful trip and have another update that came out of it.
Walt Disney World rolled out the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade without the Villains Float, but with many more characters interacting with guests. Characters like Geppetto also are in the street and not on the float.

Hi everyone!
I was pleased to be able to visit the new Sanaa Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Kidani Village last weekend, and I have a joint review with Denise Preskitt from Mousesteps, as well as a second review by another friend, Steve Buddin.
We will start with Steve’s glowing review, which includes photos that Denise and I took during our lunch on May 2nd. Thank you to Steve for offering the review for everyone to enjoy! A portion of our joint review follows, which you can then finish on Mousesteps. We end with a video of the restaurant. Remember that we have over 20 minutes worth of Kidani Village videos, as well as photos of the pool and other areas of the resort!
Sanaa: Walt Disney World’s New Destination Restaurant!

Hi everyone!
I am very happy with the reaction to my latest DVD release, Jeff Lange’s Disney-MGM Studios Parade Classics – 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition (for more information or to order, click HERE)! Remember tomorrow May 1st, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will celebrate it’s 20th Anniversary and we plan to have a full report here!
The response to Mondays Blog Post covering the preview of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge DVC Villas: Kidani Village, has been overwhelming! The biggest request I keep getting is for a video tour of the pool area. Today, MouseSteps & JWL Media team up to offer complete coverage of this beautiful new addition!
