As a Disney enthusiast, you are no doubt aware that one of the potential spots for the newly announced Monsters Inc. door coaster is – gasp! – Muppets Courtyard, home of the seminal film “MuppetVision 3D.” This would be a HUGE LOSS. Which is why we will be focusing on the Muppets in this edition of Happy Friday, my...

I haven’t done a Happy Friday post in awhile, so a quick review: Happy Friday is just what it sounds like. Fridays are happy days, so I post something that makes me happy. And the “Sheriff Piglet” episode of “The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” has made me happy for decades. POOH HAS MUCH TO OFFER ADULTS I...

Today we have another Happy Friday post, a category that exists purely to highlight Disney and theme park things that makes me happy. Can you spare a minute to hear the gospel of Disney’s Peter & The Wolf cartoon short as narrated by Mr. Sterling Holloway? C’mon, don’t just stand that way! And don’t stand that way either. DISNEY’S...

I’ve said it many times before: unfortunately, I’m not all that big on virtual races. Whenever a runDisney race has been cancelled of late, I’ve always taken the refund rather than switch to the virtual version. But there are many who disagree with me, including the thousands who performed a virtual WDW Marathon Weekend race (or 2 or 4)...

I just read that since Disneyland has been closed all this time, there will be no Disneyland portion of the Christmas parade during this year’s Disney holiday special.
