When it comes to World Showcase, many skip over the “smaller” attractions, which include Reflections of China and Impressions de France. In today’s Imagineer Podcast episode, we’ll unwind in World Showcase together and experience these two attractionsContinueContinue reading “Epcot France and China (Episode 27)”

With a wide selection of Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Disney Vacation Club Resorts, Walt Disney World offers an array of hotel experiences. In this Imagineer Podcast episode, we’ll explore some ofContinueContinue reading “Best Resorts at Walt Disney World (Episode 26)”

World of Color has been delighting Guests at Disney California Adventure Park since June 11, 2010. With over 1,200 dancing foutains and incredible special effects, it’s one of the most impressive nighttime shows ever designed.
