I completely understand those that don’t care for this place. The food, meh. Service, hit or miss. But for me… the ambiance is impeccable. I haven’t been for a while, but every time I see a photo I instantly am reminded of that feeling I got the first time I went as a kid.

After 120 episodes over 10 years, The 'Mickey Mouse' shorts are coming to an end. “Steamboat Silly” -- the final short of 'The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse' series -- will serve as the series finale and final episode featuring Paul Rudish's take on the iconic character.

You’re in Epcot at dusk and you’re facing World Showcase Lagoon with your back to Spaceship Earth. The torches have just lit. There is a calm, slightly cool breeze that hits you. A horn from a Friendship Boat is heard in the distance. Your shoulders relax. That’s the tweet.

Today is a good day for the theme park community. No matter how you look at it, Epic Universe pushes Disney to do better. AND if Disney doesn’t match up in the future, we still win because we have another theme park delivering a just as exceptional product.
