Are you ready to go to infinity and beyond? If so, you need to head over to the Tomorrowland sector in the Magic Kingdom galaxy. Once there, look for Star Command- Home of the Universe Protection Unit. The exterior of Star Command will have a sign reading Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin! When you arrive to take on Zurg you may find you are not alone. The Space Ranger program is very popular and lines may run 20 minutes to more than 1 hour during peak enrollment. Contact Star Command prior to your trip for special assignment Fastpass+ reservations.

The past few weeks, we have been making our way through Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. Today we are staying in the fairy tale land and going back to the beginning to discover an opening day ride. You may walk away from this one a little dizzy, but I think you will have a big smile on your face. Let’s sit down for a Mad Tea Party !

Today we are staying in Fantasyland where there is a ride that literally takes right into the story book. Get ready to bounce, blow, and float your way through The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!

If you have ever longed to be part of Ariel’s world in the same way she longs to be part of the human world, then this is the ride for you! Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid is a modern day take on the classic Disney dark ride. You will get to relive the 1989 animated film when you climb aboard your clamshell omnimover vehicle.

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to ride we go! Say hello to this sparkling gem at the center of Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is equal parts roller coaster and Disney dark ride with a modern twist. This short, but sweet family fun mine train is a can’t miss ride in the heart of the park.

If you tuned into last week’s podcast you heard us cover the Top 5 Rides for Fastpass+, and today’s ride made #4 on our list. The boy that never grows up has a ride that never grows old. Of course, I’m talking about Peter Pan’s Flight! Before we get our sprinkle of pixie dust and fill our minds with happy thoughts…

This week we are helping your prepare for peak season at Walt Disney World by looking at the best rides for Fastpass+. There are over 40 rides at the parks that allow you to make a Fastpass+ reservation. Today we will narrow that list down to the Top 5! It won’t be an easy task, but I believe we have a great list of 5 rides you don’t want to miss. With each ride we will cover the essential facts and I will lay out my case for why that ride deserves your Fastpass+ vote.

Hello fellow riders and welcome back to the WDW Ride Guide! It is so great to have you join me again today. I love exploring all the different options and figuring out a way to enjoy as much as possible each time I visit Walt Disney World. Today’s show is one I have added to my list many times, but one I have omitted on my most recent trips. I have a lot to say about the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!

If you have ever been to Walt Disney World before, chances are pretty good you have utilized “the highway in the sky,” known as the Walt Disney World Monorail System. Repeat riders have fallen in love with the voice of Jack Wagner as he instructs passengers to “please stand clear of the doors,” a phrase narrated in English and repeated in Spanish. It is the Spanish version that I think most riders find so fun, the way the words roll off the tongue as the doors gently close in front of you. Some love this minutia of Disney so much that you can find t-shirts, hats, and coffee mugs sporting the phrase.

The past two weeks we have covered the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. We discovered there are so many things going on during the 90 day ode to nature, including topiaries, gardens, educational speakers, rock concerts, outdoor kitchens, and special tours. One of the tours we mentioned last week was Behind the Seeds. This tour isn’t offered just during the festival, but is available year round. The last time I was in the park I had the opportunity to go backstage and see just what is behind the seeds at Living With the Land! Today, I’m happy to share that experience with you.
