  • I have really enjoyed this blog! I am curious to know when Snow White’s Scary Adventure will take her last ride. This is my youngest daughters absolute favorite rude. We rode it seven times our last trip. I am trying to plan our next trip and do not want to miss this ride before it leaves us, sadly, forever.
    Thanks for spreading the magic!

  • I’m so excited! The Little Mermaid ride and Star Tours are almost open at Disneyland resort.

    Yesterday, I read a spoiler-free review from a fan site from someone who got to experience Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and its really getting me excited!

  • Will there be any opportunities for non pass holders to ride Star Tours during the week of May 22-27? We have been planning first time visit for a really long time and my pre-teen boys are so hopeful…Thanks!
