A to Z Obscure Disney World Tips: L

L is for: List of Renovations & Closings

Before taking off on your trip to Walt Disney World, be sure to check out this rehab list at allears.net to see how it might affect your plans.

I sure wish I'd known about this list before dragging my family across Epcot in the pouring rain only to find out our destination had pulled a Wally World (note the "closed for renovations" wall at the forefront of this would-be mecca).














Disney World Trivia
Walt Disney World has Mickey Mouse---who's Wally World's mascot?

It would be bad if there were renovations going on at a place you plan to travel. Good tip!

I love the Griswolds, and am about to google that mascot because I can't remember!

Yes, I HATE when rides are closed that I'd been looking forward to.

Stopping by with the A-Z. It's nice to meet you!

That is a good tip, Nicki. I'm so sorry you showed up at Epcot to a closed attraction :-(
Thanks for wanting to read Misfit. Smashwords lets you download an epub version for Nook. Though, I've not done it before. I hope you like it if you do read the book.
Have a great day!

See, I should know this. Of all the trivia questions you've posed, I should definitely have the mascot of Wally World filed away!

I am going to put it in a search engine and then kick myself for not remembering.

But for now I'm going to answer John Candy.

Heh.

Yeah, I checked that list when I went to Disneyland. It's really frustrating to go when you can't get on the rides.

And here I was thinking the "Rehab List" was for parents who'd had too much to imbibe. ;)

great tip! We live in FL, yet, I've only been to Magic Kingdom once. Would've gotten more into it if all my kids were younger.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
