Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

A Journey Down the Na’vi River

I was lucky enough to preview Pandora in May 2017.  Many people will tell you about the thrills of Avatar Flight of Passage, but I want to share about how cool the Na’vi River Journey was.  First of all, imagine “It’s a Small World” but with characters from Pandora.  It is a family friendly ride, […]

Earlymoons – What is that?

Why wait? Today’s young couples are in a live-for-the-moment kind of mood, studies say, so it should come as no surprise that they are not waiting for the wedding to plan a vacation.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror—Be Afraid … Be Very Afraid!
