All things Disney

Been a while since I put a blog up largely because of the busy summer season and whilst I'm not quite finished with that yet, I do have a few useful pieces of information and some trivia to pass on to those of you who love Orlando and particular Disney:


1. If you are staying in an Orlando vacation Villa in the 192 area of Kissimmee and are looking for a way to get to the theme parks, then I have a shortcut. Head for Sherberth Road which will take you right onto Disney property, hitting Animal Kingdom almost as soon as you turn in.

2. After a great day at Magic Kingdom watching Wishes, you and the rest of your family will probably be very tired and just want to get back to your lovely villa, well here's a tip; instead of heading back on the express monorail with everyone else, grab the resort one. It still stops at the transportation centre but its never as busy as the express saving you and your family queueing time!

3. Magic Kingdom - did you know that the buildings on Main Street are smaller at the top than they are at street level and that the names on windows are actually the names of imagineers and WDW staff.

4. Did you know that WDW resort covers 40 square miles which is about the size of two Manhattan Islands and less than 35% of that has been developed.

5. Finally, did you know that WDW resort is the largest single site employer in the USA - over 62,000 who help to create the magic day in and day out.
