Epcot seems to be the newest Disney theme park getting a bit of a makeover. The Disney fan boards have been inundated with rumors about updates concerning the World Showcase Pavilion at Epcot in the Walt Disney World Resort. But what exactly are these updates? Or are they all just rumors and an April Fool’s Joke? There are two updates to Epcot that we can confirm are not rumors: the new pizzeria

The Orlando theme parks have plenty of rides that have become favorites for those that travel to the area for a weekend escape or a big family vacation. If you ask those who come to the parks often what their favorite ride is, you’re sure to get a bunch of different answers. Some rides become “classics” like Back to the Future at Universal Studios, and when they are gone from the parks you see

Throughout the Walt Disney World Resort you have a fantastic assortment of special events to choose from when visiting the Disney theme parks. Of course at times you might have to make the tough decision of which park to go to when you have your choice of Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and even the water parks Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is the newest of the Disney theme parks and a huge hit with animal and nature lovers. It’s huge—you can fit the Magic Kingdom inside the park a number of times and it spans over 500 acres. You can see animals from all over the world. There are great restaurants like the Yak and Yeti and an awesome thrill ride with Expedition Everest. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is separated

Disney's Hollywood Studios is the best park to go to within the Walt Disney World Resort if you’re a movie buff. The entire park is dedicated to movies, not only with its rides and attractions, but with the theme décor and even special exhibits. Also, out of all of the Disney theme parks, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the only park that has a roller coaster with inversions (Aerosmith’s Rock n

Walt Disney World is all about making dreams come true. It’s in their slogans and in the message of all their movies. When you go to the Disney theme parks you will find additions to make things easier for families traveling with kids. Whether it’s stroller parking, locker rentals, high-chairs and even diaper changing stations, you won’t find another place in the world more tailored to

In a world of movie remakes, Disney decided to do things a bit differently. They didn’t create a remake to one of their most popular films ever, instead they decided to modernize it and make a sequel. Later on this year, Tron:Legacy will zoom it’s way into your theatres, once again taking viewers inside the world of computers. To sum up the original, Tron is about people that get trapped inside

Epcot is a great park for families looking to have fun and learn a little something on their next trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. The Disney theme parks all have attractions that are geared towards being fun and educational in them—it’s the Disney way!

The Academy Awards don't really go hand in hand with the Disney theme parks, but this year was very different as the Walt Disney Company had not one, but two films nominated for various Academy Awards. The latest movies to come out of Disney, The Princess and the Frog and Up, were nominated in categories like Best Song, Best Director for an Animated Feature, Best Score for an Animated Feature and

There is a big part of the Universal Orlando Resort that is sometimes overshadowed by the Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios theme parks: the hotels of the Universal Orlando Resort. You get all of the great perks of staying within the park when you say in the Hard Rock Hotel, the Loews Royal Pacific or the Loews Portofino Bay. At the Hard Rock Hotel you will enjoy a 4 Diamond AAA hotel

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints on their amazing win in Super Bowl XLIV. This team was touted as the underdog from the moment they made it to the playoffs, but in the end, they won their first Super Bowl the very first time they went to the championship. While this left many Indianapolis Colts fans unhappy, the win was welcomed by the city of New Orleans. After being devastated by

The Alice in Wonderland hype is growing fast and we are loving very second of it. Alice and friends can be tough to find in the Disney theme parks. If you go to the Supercalifragilistic character breakfast at the Grand Floridian, she’s there along with Mary Poppins. Over at the Magic Kingdom you can usually find Alice and the Mad Hatter causing trouble by the tea cups. She can also be found over

South Florida is a melting pot for Latin American cultures, and it seems like some of that influence has traveled up to Central Florida and right into the Walt Disney World Resort! It’s no secret Walt Disney was interested in Latin culture. Back in the day when he made Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros Walt and his group of friends and animators went to South America on a

What could be cooler than living next to one of the Orlando theme parks? For many of us, getting to the theme parks requires long drives or even longer flights, making it hard to own an annual pass or take advantage of the amazing deals you can get as a Florida resident. But now the people of Epoch Properties are going to make sure that changes! They will be building a beautiful new apartment

The Universal Orlando Resort is going to be a powerhouse in 2010. For anyone that has been to Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure in the recent months you probably saw a castle on the horizon. If you aren’t already “in the know” about what is going on in the world of Islands of Adventure, that castle is none other than Hogwart’s Castle from the Harry Potter book and movie franchise. In the

Florida is known for having warm and sunny weather but believe it or not the Orlando area can get quite chilly during the winter months. That is also one of the busiest times for the Orlando theme parks, which you’ll find closing throughout the day due to reaching full capacity. But some people come to Florida to escape the cold and probably wouldn’t want to spend hours outside waiting in line at
