A Walk in the Park: WDW Edition - Peter Pan's Flight Queue

By Krista Joy



Peter Pan's Flight has been a favorite attraction of many Walt Disney World fans since 1971. The bathrooms near Peter Pan's Flight closed when the Tangled facilities began construction in New Fantasyland, and since that time, we have been anticipating a new interactive (air-conditioned) queue. Personally, I am beyond thrilled that it has finally been completed and can't wait to share it with all of you! Join us on this week's A Walk in the Park article as we take a closer look at the new Peter Pan's Flight queue enhancements...

A Walk in the Park: WDW Edition - Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

By Krista Joy




Back in May of 2014, Walt Disney World announced plans for a name change and some pretty major enhancements to one of its most iconic Magic Kingdom resorts. Now re-branded as Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, the location already shows signs of a new level of detail that only Disney can deliver. A major phase of the renovation has already been completed. Join us as we have a look at the new lobby in this week's A Walk in the Park: WDW Edition article...

It’s beautiful topography and landscaping truly makes you feel like you have been whisked away to a wild and exotic continent. At times it may even feel like you have gone back in time to be in the presence of dinosaurs! As extraordinary as Animal Kingdom is in the day time – the grounds are absolutely off the charts mystical and magical as night falls. Continue after the page break and have a look...

A Walk in the Park: Walt Disney World Edition - Destination D

By Krista Joy




Last weekend Disney fans had a chance to go back in time. D23, the official fan club of Disney held an event called Destination D: Attraction Rewind. This special event was held at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The programming was wonderful, and I think just about all of us present learned some things we did not know about Disney History. No video or photography was allowed as presentations were given by the current and past Disney Imagineers. However we were allowed to take photos of a special exhibit called Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives. The exhibit featured collectibles and memorabilia from Disney Parks, as well as Disney collectibles from the 1964-65
New York World's Fair. Continue after the page break and have a look...

Construction walls around the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been removed.

You’ll also find a widened walkway the next time you visit Discovery Island.
