Wandering Oaken Trading Post’s New Location

Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
I almost hate to admit this, but I have not seen the movie “Frozen” yet. I know, I know — Bad Disney Fan. For the record, I’ve bought the DVD, just haven’t made the time to sit and watch. But, given the “Frozenification” of Walt Disney World these past few months, I FEEL as though … Continue reading "Wandering Oaken Trading Post’s New Location"

But figuratively that’s what the annual frenzy to book Epcot Food and Wine Festival events has become for me.

Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
no photos were permitted behind the wall, but we do have some new artists' renderings of what Princess Fairytale Hall will look like.

Animal Kingdom’s New Wilderness Explorers

Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
One of the projects featured at last week's "Monstrous Summer" media event at Walt Disney World was the soon-to-debut "Wilderness Explorers" at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The new program is an interactive experience that invites guests to explore Animal Kingdom in "engaging and challenging ways" aimed at deepening understanding of animals and the natural world we live in. The "Wilderness Explorer" theme is taken from the Disney-Pixar film, "UP!" -- one of the main characters, Russell, is a Wilderness Explorer himself.

Flower and Food? Food and Vine? The Epcot 2013 Flower and Garden Festival

This article appeared in the March 12, 2013 Issue #703 of ALL EARS® (ISSN: 1533-0753) In the interest of full disclosure I’ll admit to you all up front that I do not have a green thumb. It’s not that I can’t grow plants, exactly — it’s more that I subject them to a slow and … Continue reading "Flower and Food? Food and Vine? The Epcot 2013 Flower and Garden Festival"
