My triplets are nearly three years old now, and it seemed like the perfect time to take them to a show where they could see forest animals close up. Unfortunately, […]

Walt Disney World’s SpectroMagic Parade at the Magic Kingdom is extremely popular. It’s a fantastic parade held at night featuring Disney characters and floats covered in beautiful multi-colored lights. Disney music and dancers add to the magical feeling created by the lights.

Recently, the Walt Disney World website was revamped, and the new site is cumbersome and difficult to navigate. There is no easy way to see a list of pricing for all ticket options.
