EatDrink Disney posted food pics from the Turf Club and the Friar's Nook.....

Appetizers from Dinner last night at The Turf Club. The Buffalo Chicken Dip has very good flavor but is a bit soupy and the chicken isn't shredded very well. A slight challenge to get the dip on the chips. The house made chips were awesome!! The Baked Brie is interesting. The puff pastry is delicious - perfectly flaky. The Brie is sparse but delicious. The raspberry preserves are runny and very sweet. It is an interesting combination that didn't necessarily go together. - EatDrink Disney

Bacon Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese and Blue Cheese Balsamic Mac & Cheese. Awe-some!! Bacon cheeseburger was the fav of the girls. The boys preferred the blue cheese balsamic. No complaints about either. Super cheesy comfort food! — at Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World. - EatDrink Disney
So, so, so yummy!!! Husband and son (16yo) preferred the Cheshire Cupcake. I preferred the Mocha - Could definitely taste the coffee. Daughter (20yo) couldn't pick a favorite. - EatDrink Disney

It's A Small World ride video from the Magic Kingdom - December 2009

It's A Small World is a classic ride that originated at the 1964 New York World's Fair.  It was eventually transported over to Disneyland.  When Walt Disney World opened with the Magic Kingdom, It's A Small World was one of the original rides.  The main difference with the Walt Disney World version and the Disneyland version is in the ride queue.  At Walt Disney World, the ride queue is indoors vs. an outdoor queue at Disneyland.  I also think that the boats are wider at Walt Disney World than Disneyland.  Both versions of the ride are equally enjoyable. I took video of the ride when I went with my family in December 2009.  Enjoy the video!

World of Color (from two perspectives) - Disney California Adventure - March 2012

I had the opportunity to experience Disneyland for the first time during March 2012.  I heard about a night time show that Disney California Adventure holds almost every day called World of Color.  It is a water-light show that can be seen around the lake.  There are prime spots to see this show which fill up early in the evening.  There are also reserved spots that can be purchased as part of a table service dinner package.  I saw the show twice during my stay from two different perspectives.  I first watched the show where all the visitors preferably watched the show, from the front.  There was a crowd of people obstructing my view at times.  This made it very challenging for me to watch and enjoy the show.  Here is a video from that perspective.


The second time I watched the show, I was right outside California Screamin'.  There was no crowd from this perspective.  I thought the show was way cooler from this vantage point.  I made a video of the World of Color from this viewpoint.

Main Street USA Singers - Magic Kingdom - December 2009

One my most favorite times to go to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is during the morning.  During this time, all the cast members on Main Street USA line the street and welcome all the guests to the Magic Kingdom.  Disney also features during this time the Main Street USA Singers.  They sing and dance around a trolley.  One of the songs that I always remember from them is "I'm Walking Right Down the Middle of Main Street U.S.A".  That song always brings a smile to my face and sets the happy and fun tone from my day at Walt Disney World.  I was able to take a video of their performance during December 2009.  Enjoy the video!
