Welcome
Now you see it, now you don’t
Disney World is always changing and
progressing.
People who have visited Disney World for years often talk about things that used to be there. You’ll often hear people talk about the sky buckets, the 20,00 Leagues under the Sea ride and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Magic Kingdom. At Epcot there was the Kitchen Cabaret show and the Nestle chocolate chip cookie baking at the Land, the old ride through the Norway countryside, Body Wars ride, the energy pavilion. The lake at Epcot had a noon show on the lake that featured a kite show and ultralight aircraft floating into the area. The lagoon between the ticket and transportation center and Magic Kingdom sometimes had characters water skiing, or you might see a Mickey hot air balloon by the Contemporary. But never fear, there are always new shows and excitement coming in to replace the old.
Look Fast
Many things are gone forever. The big hat that was a great picture spot in Hollywood Studios is now gone. The first balloon at Downtown Disney was Mary Poppins and had been gone for years. Downtown Disney is now called Disney Springs. So look fast and take a photo for a life time of memories.
Other things you might miss at Walt Disney World
There are so many different things to do
and see outside of the theme parks. You
can go to Downtown Disney where there
are numerous shops, restaurants, free
concerts, boat rentals where you can rent a
small or a large boat and buzz around the
lake. We like to go "resort hopping" which
is taking the Disney transportation by bus
or monorail and stop at different resort
hotels to check out the decor and the shops
and restaurants. They change from season
to season. There is miniature golf in two
different courses, and don't forget the water
parks!

Boardwalk and the Yacht Club. Then walk through
Epcot to the front. Take the Monorail to the Magic
Kingdom. Then take the boat to Fort Wilderness. Then
take the bus to Downtown Disney. From Downtown
Disney take the boat to Port Orleans and then the bus
to Animal Kingdom. You can take the bus back to
Downtown Disney or any resort from there. All for
free.

Just a little funny. The lifeguard is wearing a
raincoat.
Dumbo at left is in the Smithsonian in Washington,
D.C. We were reading the information about Dumbo.
The first Dumbo at Disneyland in California in 1955
had ears that went up and down. I started going to
Disney in 1957. Rode Dumbo but didn't look or care
about the ears at that time. Did you?
This is one of Disney's two actual fire stations.

How many monorails are at Disney World?
What are the colors?
12 in all
Red, Black, Yellow, Lime green, Light blue, Purple,
Salmon, Gold, Silver, Pink, Orange, and Green.
You can no longer sit up front after the accident of
2010.
Year of a Million Dreams
You just had to be in the right place at the right time to get a gift. One family a day was picked to stay in the Castle. Not us.
Christmas Time
Every year the gingerbread house is built. You can see
it most of the time on the travel channel. Go to the
Grand Floridian resort by monorail. To see the house
is free. Sometimes they have smoke coming out the
top of the chimney. Look at the detail of the house. At
times they have a chef decorating small gingerbread
houses at the back of the house. She also has little
cookies and figurines on display.
Yacht Club has a carousel every year made of chocolate and gingerbread. Boardwalk also has chocolate
displays.
The Contemporary often features chocolate
Pinocchio.
Check out different decorations at all of the resorts.
Huge Christmas trees everywhere
There's a thing called resort hopping at Christmas
time
