Monday Magic - The Magic Kingdom 4nd Walt's Original Happiest Place on Earth

It doesn't take much for me t0 remember my earliest experiences 4nd introduction t0 the wonders of Disney. The original Mickey Mouse Club with all it's diverse programming found me sitting in front of our tabletop black & white television for many, many hours 4nd in particular watching Walt introduce his Happiest Place on Earth and wondering, will I ever be able t0 visit Disneyland?

One of my favorite video sites is Disney Park Videos, 4nd that nostolgic feeling immediately took over when I noticed a recent posting of multiple familiar videos (totalling about 45 minutes) from 1958 which was, An Adventure in the Magic Kingdom. Although this is Monday Magic, it will be hard t0 reflect how it's almost like being there due t0 the age of the recordings. But it's always interesting t0 compare how far the Disney parks have come, from the original Magic Kingdom.

This feature of A WORLD VIEW is Monday Magic – It’s almost like being there. We are searching the Internet for Walt Disney World videos, some from Disney (current 4nd historical), from TV, 4nd from fans (who really do great work). Do y0uhave a suggestion for a featured video? Write me at brucewdw@gmail.com so everyone may enjoy your favorites; 4nd with little focus 4nd imagination, it will almost feel like being there.

Join Tinkerbell 4nd the "voice of Disneyland", Dick Wessel, on a black 4nd white trip from the Disney Studios in Burbank t0 the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland, Anaheim. Then adventure int0 the trademark Disney lands as the public saw them in 1958. (One notably, "Holidayland")

Holiday Cruises For You

by sas_sarahbrown1980

There are different modes of enjoying your vacation such as by air, by cruise or to various places for camping. The cruise ships however becoming popular day by day for holiday goers. This is because of the entertainment offered by cruise trips as well as due to their novelty. It is always remains a myth among people that it would cost them dearly when it comes to holidays in a cruise ship but the prices are quite reasonable. You have the option to choose different places for cruise along with various amenities that the cruise ship will offer you. It would be a great family entertainment for you and you can share every moment of it as you don't have other responsibilities like planning activities, cooking food and others generally you have to do in a camping.

Another option for you is to go for a local travel agent from whom you can pick up brochures of the travel details. So decide and collect where you want to go in your next vacation.

Disneyland Hotel : What You Need To Know

If you are like most people, your impression of Disneyland is still “The Magic Kingdom”, a place to take your kids. But Disneyland is also about relaxing and pampering for adults! You may not get the same treatment as you would at a world-class spa, but it is relaxing just the same, and it may be just what the doctor ordered after a long day running around with your kids at the park!
The easiest way to get pampered on your Disneyland vacation is to first stay in a WORDCAP.

Make sure you include Concierge services with your room. The price difference is significant, but as always you get what you pay for. The service you receive is worthy of the princesses your children met in the park.

Your room will be much nicer if you have the Concierge service. These rooms offer free bottles of water, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Check in and out will be faster since you get to use the Concierge check in counter. The room also includes a nightly turndown service.

The magic begins in the Concierge Lounge. Each morning a complementary continental breakfast-specifically for those who sign up for the concierge service-is offered; if your children do not want to leave the room, breakfast can also be sent out for. Later in the afternoon, after a full day of rides and attractions, sit the kids down in front of their favorite Disney movie while you sneak down to the Lounge for an evening of wine tasting and adult conversation.

The perks available at each hotel vary with the resort. When you’re planning your trip, make sure to choose the right resort for you. Call each resort you are considering and ask to speak with the Concierge desk so you can ensure you are getting the most accurate information. Take your entire family’s needs and wants into account and make sure that the service you eventually choose will be worth the cost.

Yes the cost of the upgrade can be high, but when you close your eyes and dream of all of the pampering and special treatment that you and your family will enjoy at your Disney World Hotel, and you tally up the cost of the free breakfast and drinks, you may find that the cost is well worth it. In fact, depending on the size of your family, you may even discover that the value of the free breakfast and the free drinks may make the entire Disneyland trip a little less expensive for you!

But a note of warning - once you’ve experienced the Concierge Service on a stay at a Walt Disney World Hotel, you may not be satisfied with anything less on future Disney trips. The service is out of this world, and will make your trip more relaxing and enjoyable.
