Magical Blogorail Green - Halloween at Disney

Welcome to those of you joining me from Disney on Wheels and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the final stop on our Magical Blogorail. 

One of my favorite things about Halloween time at Disney are all of the pumpkin decorations at the Magic Kingdom and the costumes the characters wear during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. 


My absolute favorite decorations are the giant pumpkins at the entrance. Even if you don't attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you get the chance to experience all of the Halloween decorations that are up all over the Magic Kingdom. There are pumpkins everywhere - from giant light up pumpkins to pumpkin banners. And of course Main Street comes to life in a completely different way during Mickey's Not  So Scary Halloween Party, with halloween music playing and the streets lit up in an eerie way. 


I also love the costumes that the characters dress up in during the party.


Writing about it just won't do it justice, so instead I'll share pictures from my experience last year. 

What's your favorite thing about Halloween at Disney? Do you prefer one Park over another during this time of year?

Magical Blogorail Green: Favorite Disney Resort To Visit

Welcome to those of you joining me from Pursuing the Magic and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 4th stop on our Magical Blogorail.

Welcome to those of you joining me from Pursuing the Magic and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 4th stop on our Magical Blogorail.

My favorite Walt Disney World resort to visit is Disney's Wilderness Lodge. I think it is a combination of the was it is decorated as well as the fact that it has one of my favorite places to go for breakfast: The Whispering Canyon Cafe - that makes it my favorite resort to visit. 

We always make it a point to stop at the Wilderness Lodge during our trips to Disney World. My favorite part of the hotel itself is the lobby. I love how it makes you feel that you really are out in some big lodge in the mountains. And although we are still a couple of months away from the holidays, this resort looks spectacular when decorated for Christmas. 

At the Whispering Canyon Cafe, I love the way they serve the Mickey Waffles in cast-iron skillets. And of course the service is always a fun experience! 

Although I love simply "visiting" the Wilderness Lodge, I do look forward to one day staying there as well.

Magical Blogorail Green: The Disney Attraction I Miss the Most

                                          Welcome to those of you joining me from Magical Days with the Mouse and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 3rd stop on our Magical Blogorail.

The attraction I miss the most is still at the parks in a sense, but not as it was originally. That attraction is "Journey Into Imagination." You may remember that I blogged about this same attraction back in April during Magical Blogorail's Least Favorite Disney Attraction. Even though I consider the current attraction my least favorite of the parks, the original attraction is also the attraction I miss the most (I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of Disney fans out there)!

In my opinion, the original attraction was simply perfect! I still don't understand the reasoning behind changing the ride. Dreamfinder and Figment really brought the concept of using your imagination to life in the original attraction.

After Disney's recent reopening of the "Original Enchanted Tiki Room," I have hope that one day they will bring back my beloved "Journey Into Imagination." I loved that ride and figment so much that after 23 years I still have the Figment plush toy that my parents bought for me on one of my trips (and he still looks brand new)!

My Most Memorable Disney Character Experience

Welcome to those of you joining me from Magical Days with the Mouse and those of you who have just hopped aboard. I am 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.

My most memorable Disney character experience was when I was when I was about 4 1/2 years old at Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort. I remember it perfectly as if it were yesterday. I was so excited and happy to be meeting and taking pictures with all of my favorite Disney characters that I would wake up to each morning. My little sister was terrified of them, but I was having the time of my life. I kept going after Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Donald and bringing them back to my table (back then they weren't so strict with them because at one point I had three characters at my table). It really is my most memorable experience and one that I will always cherish.

At Chef Mickey's as an adult! :)

With Goofy

And Donald!

Magical Blogorail - My Favorite World Showcase Pavilion

Welcome to the first stop aboard Magical Blogorail Green. Enjoy the ride as we share with you our favorite World Showcase Pavilion!


I must start off by saying that in general I absolutely love Epcot's World Showcase! One of my favorite things to do is just walk through it "hopping from country to country" in just a couple of hours. And although it is hard to choose a favorite, there is one that to me intrigues me the most and has made me decide that one day I will take a trip to visit the actual country - that World Showcase Pavilion is Norway!


Walking through and experiencing the Norway Pavilion to me is like being in the pages of an old fairy tale storybook. I especially love the details of the Maelstrom Adventure Cruise - my favorite part of the ride comes at the end when you are in what looks like a quaint little Norwegian village. 


And of course how can I forget the fragrances at the store. Although I've never actually purchased the signature perfume at the store (due to how outrageously expensive it is) I fall in love with the smell each and every time. 


The one thing I haven't experienced at the Norway Pavilion is dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall with the Disney Princesses - but it is on my Disney bucket list!
