A Dopey Adventure

It's hard to believe that the first Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is less than two months away!  This hard-ticket event is one of my favorite in all of Walt Disney World.  While there was already a ton to do at the party, this year there are going to be even more cool experiences! The Mad Tea Party will add new lighting and effects as you spin yourself dizzy!  Depending on the color of your costume, you may also transform under the lights.  This means you should definitely take advantage of one of the only times adults are permitted to wear a costume to the Disney parks! In Adventureland, Pirates of the Caribbean will also be getting a Halloween makeover.  There will be new pirates to visit as you search for "Gunpowder Pete." It's always good to see (Captain) Jack Sparrow Space Mountain  will also get a spooky overlay with new music and sound effects.  I'm such a fan of Hyperspace Mountain in Disneyland so I can't wait to s...

It's no secret that Epcot is my favorite park in Walt Disney World.  I love both sections of the park: Future World & World Showcase.  It's also the finish line of most runDisney races and I love running through Epcot, especially during the Walt Disney World Marathon.  It's hard to decide what sets this park apart as top of the list for me.  But here are some of my FAVORITE things about Epcot. 1) Epcot International Food & Wine Festival - Epcot now has four festivals each year: Epcot Festival of the Arts, Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays.  While I haven't had a chance to make it to all these seasonal events, I'm always sure to make a trip to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.  This seasonal event, running from August to November, features over 20 international marketplaces featuring snacks and drinks from their native countries.  This festival takes eating ...
