You're Going to Disney World Again?

"You're going to Disney World again?"  I hear that question often, at least once a year, lol!  What people don't realize is that happenings around "the World" are always changing.  In all the trips we have taken, no two have been the same.  Yes, we like to stay at our favorite resorts and we have restaurants that we look forward to each trip, but the overall vacation experience is always different.  Our upcoming trip in February will be very different from our trip just this past December.
So many changes have already come to the Walt Disney World Resort this year (and it's only January!), and even more are coming!  With the Fantasyland expansion project moving along, it is always fun to peer over the construction wall and see all that is happening.  Just last week, a favorite ride for many families, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, was disassembled and moved to it's new location in the Storybook Circus area of the new Fantasyland.

The opening of the new spin on this classic ride is expected to open in mid-March.  While the original will always have a place in my heart, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to a nicer queue area...and having it doubled in size will be a welcome change!


Already open at the speedway is the Exotic Driving Experience.  The Richard Petty Driving Experience debuted a new offering that allows guests to experience riding in supercars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, and Porsche.  I have never participated in the Richard Petty Driving Experience, nor I have I ever had a client ask about it.  It does look like a great alternative for an adult only trip...although it will be years before I have one of those, lol!

What I am most excited about is the new interactive game, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom!  This has enjoyment for my family written all over it! This new interactive "game" will debut soon at the Magic Kingdom.  Rumor is that guests may be able to start playing as early as mid-February...just in time for my next trip!. Similar to the Kim Possible adventure in EPCOT, this quest recruits guests to become apprentice sorcerers, and help defeat villains in their hiding places within the park.  I will need to re-visit all of may touring plans for the Magic Kingdom, as I think guests will spend quite a bit of time enjoying this while in the park!  I think that with this new interactive game and the completed Fantasyland expansion, touring the Magic Kingdom is going to take us twice as long as it usually does.  Funny how those folks at Disney make it so easy for us to want to go back for more!
