I want to thank Tony from DisneyByTheNumbers.com for sending me this link today! It was so awesome I thought it worthy of a blog post for you!!
The best part is a few minutes in. Edna “E” Mode (one of the minor characters in The Incredibles) – helps us fully understand what all the fuss over Magic Band and My Magic+.
Maybe it’s just because I like cartoons, but this is the most informative and complete explanation I have ever seen in one place. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Most Disney fans are aware of the fabulous Disney Food Blog. Head author and creator AJ Wolfe and her team are a WONDERFUL source of information and photos – and we love linking back to them here at Disneyways. You may have noticed, we do it quite often!
AJ has released a fantastic new ebook that the whole world needs to know about, so I have asked her to share more about it here on Disneyways.
She has kindly agreed!
Am I star-struck? Um, YEAH! Just a bit.
I thought about it – and in doing my best Barbara Walters impression I realized – I don’t want to ask her the same questions everyone else does.
I want to ask her YOUR questions.
So what do you want to know about the Disney Food Blog Mini-Guide to Magic Kingdom Snacks? Over the next 24 hours I would like to collect your questions! So don’t delay – and leave them in the form below!
If your question is chosen, your first name, last initial and hometown will be posted here on Disneyways.
This is one of the things I love about Walt Disney World.
I have lived here in Orlando all of my life. I remember visiting the parks when I was so small – my Mom wrote our phone number on my hand in case I got lost. I consider myself to be fairly familiar with the Disney magic.
Then it happens…again.
Just when I think I can’t be surprised by anything Walt Disney World does, just when I think I have seen it all – something new (to me!) comes along that makes my eyes tear up. Once again I have to put my hand to my heart – because I still feel that little Disney Princess inside of me – and she is jumping for joy.
Last night – as we were leaving the ticket and transportation center, I looked down at the sidewalk and saw this:
When nobody was looking – each character must have taken the time to carefully leave a colorful chalk signature behind. Many guests were in a hurry and walked right over these treasures without even seeing them. Maybe I am missing something but I have NEVER seen this before. That’s why I am considering it a World Secret!
I am left wondering who drew the Disney bus with the directional arrow? Do you have a guess? Please leave a comment below!

If you are an art fan, and a sidewalk chalk fan, you won’t want to miss Festival of the Masters. Here is information on the 2012 edition.
I have had a ton of fun guest blogging for wonderful folks like Mousekejournals , The Main Street Mouse, The Disney Gals, Chip & Co. DisneybytheNumbers.com and VinylmationWorld.com
In fact, I have had so much fun that I wanted to share – and extend an invitation to others to guest blog here at Disneyways!
Anyone can apply but special consideration will be given to my current readers and subscribers.
This is because many of you all have been with me since the beginning, so you are familiar with our mission statement and the positive, upbeat feel of our site.
Here is a link for more info on guest blogging for Disneyways!

My son is all grown up now so I don’t think he would have a problem with me telling you his secret. He was TERRIFIED of any sort of character. Disney or otherwise. Just to make it even though- here is a deep dark secret of mine. Who’s got two thumbs and makes some of the ugliest crafts you’ve ever seen? This girl. I failed cutting in kindergarten and things haven’t really gotten any better since then.
I know there are many families out there who do not suffer the same misfortune – and this post is for you! Straight from Heidi – one of my new friends over at Mouskejournals.com, here are some great ideas for making your very own autograph books for you or a loved one’s favorite Disney characters to sign.
If you end up with an extra book- will you send it to me? Mine is probably going to come out looking more like one of those snowflakes we used to have to cut out of paper in kindergarten.
As you enter the Be Our Guest Restaurant inside Disney World’s New Fantasyland, you will see knights standing guard in the hallway to your right. Stop and listen for a moment.
You just might hear the knights whispering to each other! Great video from Zannaland.com and DisneyFoodBlog.com!
October 1, 2012 we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the opening day at Epcot! It was HOT, humid, and somewhat crowded but I am chalking it up to one of my favorite Disney days in history.

Please enjoy this video that my wonderful, tall husband took of the special Epcot 30 Illuminations “tag”. Illuminations is always awesome but the tag really added something amazing, and to me, the show was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I almost cried about 5 times while watching it.
Feel free to play it over and over just to enjoy the sounds while you work. That’s what I have been doing.
One other thing…there was soot literally raining down after the show from the multiple pyrotechnics! INCREDIBLE!
