The Disney Traveler

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve in Alaska announced last week (after CruiseCritic.com broke the news) that Disney submitted a contract proposal to launch a new Disney Cruise in Alaska sometime between January 1, 2010 and September 30, 2019 (that’s quite a timeframe, but that’s what the report says).
What do you think?  I think a Disney Cruise to Alaska would be so cool!

Michael Phelps, 2008 U.S. Gold Medalist (8-time Gold Medalist to be exact), was given a hero’s welcome at special event called “America’s Homecoming Parade” at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom today.  He was greeted with confetti and rode down Main Street U.S.A. with Mickey Mouse.  He also took some time to speak with some young swimmers from Orlando, Florida during his visit.
You can check out pictures of the events at Walt Disney World today on Michael Phelp’s Facebook page.

I was at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today eating dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, which always makes me think of the new T-Rex Restaurant that’s being built in Downtown Disney.  I realized I haven’t posted an update on the new T-Rex Restaurant since the beginning of June, so it’s definitely time for a new post.
I’m so excited for this restaurant to open.  My 4-year old triplets are really into dinosaurs right now, and I know they’re going to have a blast going to the T-Rex Restaurant when it opens on ….. October 14th, 2008.
What do you think about the new …read more

Beginning in late 2008, Epcot guests at Walt Disney World will get to try a new interactive attraction inspired by the Disney Channel’s Kim Possible show called the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure. 
Kiosks will be placed throughout Epcot’s World Showcase where guests can pick up “Kimmunicators”.  The hand-held Kimmunicators will lead guests through missions as part of Team Possible by allowing them to receive messages from Kim Possible characters in order to save the world from a group of villains.  The devices will also allow guests to control, “top secret equipment hidden inside the World Showcase pavillions” according to a Disney press release.  …read more

I took new pictures of the construction at the new Disney Vacation Club Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort last weekend.  Looks like things are moving along slowly since the last time I posted pictures of the construction of the new DVC tower in May.

I like the skyway that connects the main Contemporary Resort Tower to the new DVC tower.  I can’t wait to see the inside!
