The Disney Traveler

The T-Rex Restaurant opened this week at Downtown Disney in Walt Disney World.  I haven’t been able to go over there yet, but I found a great post on Disunplugged.com with lots of photos.  I don’t have permission to republish them here, so follow the link to see pictures of the T-Rex Restaurant at Disney!
And follow the link to see lots more pictures on Flickr!
If you’ve had a chance to go to the T-Rex Restaurant, leave a comment and share your review!

Time for another round of Disney Photo Trivia, and this could be a hard one!  Can you guess where on Walt Disney World property you can find this sleepy guy?

Take a guess in the comments below.  If no one gets the answer within the next week or so, I’ll publish a new post with the answer.

Earilier this year, I posed the question on The Disney Traveler, “What ever happened to the Treehouses at Walt Disney World?”  I gave a rundown of what’s happening to them today in that post (follow the previous link to read it).
Now there is news of brand new Disney Vacation Club Treehouse Villas coming to Walt Disney World’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa in 2009.   As part of the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, Disney Vacation Club guests of the new Treehouse Villas will be able to use all of the amenities the resort has to offer in addition to a private Treehouse Villa pool.

As a follow up to yesterday’s post on The Disney Traveler that showed the first half of the pictures I took this weekend of the Halloween decorations at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, here is part 2!
As you come through the entrance of the Magic Kingdom and step onto Main Street USA, you’re welcomed by eight giant scarecrows.

The scarecrows are placed in pairs surrounding the flagpole.  I think the one above and below must be the mayor and his wife!

Today, I’m happy to have a guest post by a  fellow b5media Travel Channel blogger, Apryl Chapman Thomas.  If you don’t already read Apryl’s blog, Southern Byways, then you’re missing out!  Without further ado, here is Apryl’s guest post.
We did it.
We are now officially a part of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) family. Honestly, this is something I didn’t think we would ever do. My husband wasn’t a big fan of being locked into vacationing at one place, but over the years had a change of heart. We have always been big Disney people. We head to Orlando at least …read more

Recently, the Disney Dreams Come True Parade replaced the Share a Dream Come True parade at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.  This is the daily parade at the Magic Kingdom that is typically held at about 3:00 p.m.  The new parade is extremely similar to the old parade.  It appears that most of the floats are the same with the “snow globes” removed, new dances and a few other small changes.
You can see the Disney Dreams Come True Parade by checking out the pictures below!
First up, Aladdin!

Next, a variety of characters from from the Country Bears, Robin Hood, Brer Rabbit, …read more

Earlier this year, I wrote a post announcing the new Disney American Idol attraction that’s coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World in January 2009.  Today, word is out that American Idol winner David Cook is filming a Disney commercial to help promote the new American Idol attraction in Walt Disney World – the American Idol Experience. 
I’m still not sold on this new Disney World attraction.  How about you?
