The Disney Vacation Club is similar to a timeshare program, but it’s so much more! You become a member of the club by purchasing a real estate interest in a Disney Vacation Club Resort.

You choose the dates of your vacations, the length of your vacations, the type of accommodations you want, and where you want to go. The program is very flexible, and you’ll get extra perks, too. For example, you’ll get discounts on annual passes for theme parks.

Where can you go as a member of The Disney Vacation Club? Of course, all the Disney properties are included: Disneyland in California, Disney World in Orlando, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Hong Kong, and Tokyo Disneyland.

Harry Potter LeakyCon 2011

For Harry Potter fans it’s time to get excited about the LeakyCon 2011 convention! This year it will be held at Universal Studios in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, of course.

It was a natural to hold LeakyCon at Harry Potter land this year, as what better place to meet cast members of the Harry Potter movies, go on a Horcrux hunt and see stage presentations and fan videos from Potter fans.

Plus on midnight July 14th they can see the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II” movie at Universal Studios citywalk mutiplex theater.

Orlando Lake Eola fountain show and fireworks on 4th of July

July 6, 2011 by

 

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend here in Orlando! I went to Orlando’s Lake Eola park and saw the fireworks there. I also wanted to see how the lake Eola fountain looks now and the show it put on.

As most know, the Orlando lake Eola water fountain was struck by lighting a long time ago and got knocked out. After lots of decisions from the city a private contractor was hired to fix it.

It was fixed just in time for the 4th of July and made it’s big debut that night. I must say they did a good job. It has many different lights that change colors as well as several different water jets.

You should stick to one Orlando transportation company so you know what kind of service you will get. Star Trans is one of the biggest and best Orlando taxi and transportation services in the area.

They specialize in Orlando airport, Disney and theme parks and Port Canaveral taxi and transportation service. They have standard taxi cabs, mini vans and shuttle buses for any size party or needs.

Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion ride at The Magic Kingdom review

June 27, 2011 by

Disney's Haunted Mansion ride review

It’s time for another one of my theme park ride reviews! Today I’ll give a quick review of an old classic, Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride in the Magic Kingdom theme park.

Located at Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, this is a definite must-see for all ages. Actually, this is more than a “must see” – it’s more of a “must experience.”

Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride takes place in a large colonial manor, complete with wall sconces, cobwebs, caskets, eerie background music, screams, statues, moans, and plenty of creaks. There are also “cold spots,” so several of your senses are bombarded by the ghostly experience.

New Disney Star Tours 2 ride youtube video

June 21, 2011 by

Hi everyone! I’ve been busy with summer stuff here in Orlando, going to the parks and so on, work work you know! One thing I did recently is go to the new Star Tours 2 ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

As you may know they just got done re-doing the ride, making it better. I have to say they did a great job and the 3D video you see in the simulator really is much better than the old one.

You get to go to many more places and do more things. The Star Tours 2 youtube video above gives you some of the highlights of what you see on the ride. It looks much more real on the ride as it’s 3D, your moving around and the background scenery is more realistic then in this one.

But this gives you an idea of what you can look forward to when you go on the ride. So check out this Star Tours 2 youtube video and get a taste of what you’ll be experiencing once you go! :)

Universal Studios Orlando 4th of July fireworks, shows 2011

June 18, 2011 by

Soon the 4th of July 2011 will be here, and everyone wants to know what the theme parks will be doing to celebrate! So what about Universal Studios Orlando 4th of July fireworks and shows?

Well to be honest Universal Studios does not do much extra for the 4th of July. There are no fireworks over at Islands of Adventure. Nor are there any fireworks at CityWalk, the nightclub area.

However they will be putting on a bigger fourth of July fireworks show over at Universal Studios Orlando, the “old” park. It’s part of their Universal 360: A Cinesphere Spectacular show they hold each night during the summer.

New Cheetah Hunt roller coaster at Busch Gardens

June 16, 2011 by

One park I don’t talk about too much here is Busch Gardens. But today I wanted to tell you about their newest ride, the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster ride! Busch Gardens has some of the best roller coasters around, and the Cheetah Hunt is a great addition.

Hang on to your safari hats, folks, and hop on board the Cheetah Hunt Coaster! This is a great new ride at Busch Gardens in Tampa that opened on May 27, 2011.

The ride mimics a cheetah on the prowl and in the pursuit of prey. Several times during the ride, the coaster reaches speeds of 60 miles per hour, but it’s incredibly smooth and quiet – almost as graceful as a real cheetah!
