Today's Craving: The Polynesian

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: Disney's Polynesian Resort! This is one of the most beautiful properties and is also one of the original Disney hotels. The atmosphere is unbeatable. There is nothing like walking the property after dinner and then finding a hammock to watch the fireworks in. This is also one of the few places in the world where you can get dole ice cream! Delicious. The Poly is definitely my kind of place.


Have a magical day!!

Today's Craving: The Disney College Program

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: The Disney College Program arrival day. This one is a bit nostalgic for me. Two years ago today I started my Disney internship. I actually met the person who would become my fiance on this day. I know a lot of interns hated this day because all we did was stand in long lines and wait around. But it was the beginning of an adventure! I didn't mind standing in line or waiting around. I met a lot of friends during this down time.  We went over living contracts, picked our apartments, went to casting to find out where we would be working and to meet the recruiters (I actually met the person who gave me my phone interview!), and then we moved in. It was a day for making friends and starting the adventure of a lifetime, and it was one of the best days of my entire life.

Anyways, I know I usually don't post personal posts on this blog, but today is too important to me to not post about. It's also Disney related... So I figure it works.

Anyone out there who is thinking about doing the college program, DO IT! Don't even hesitate. Those who end up not liking the internship are those who don't follow the easy rules set by Disney. These people usually go on the internship just so that they can take a semester off and party down in Florida (and they don't expect to have to work for some reason...) I had SO much time to have fun and do what I wanted as well as work... Not to mention I LOVED my job anyways. So, DO THE INTERNSHIP.

Today's Craving: Anywhere in Disney so I don't have to take Finals.

Welcome home, Cravers!

Apologies for not having posted in a while. I've been studying/taking finals for the past two weeks and I have been preparing to finish up the semester. With that being said...

Today's Craving: Is to be anywhere in Disney so that I don't have to be here taking finals. But, then again, I would rather be in Disney no matter what I'm doing.

What gets me through finals? Disney music! I highly suggest Live365 radio. Stations I listen to most: MouseWorld Radio, Magical Mouse Radio, Reedy Creek Radio, and FastPass Radio (which is mainly Disneyland music.) There is a free application for iPhones, and the radio stations are free as well (with commercial interruptions)! Try it out!

And now to leave off with an inspirational quote from Walt:

"Whatever you do, do it well."

Have a magical  day!

Today's Craving: Spaceship Earth!

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: Spaceship Earth! For many people, Spaceship Earth provides a perfect nap before going out and hitting the park again. Personally, Spaceship Earth is a classic (even though it has been modified...). I mean, there is an actual attraction inside the iconic symbol of EPCOT. That is pretty cool. And it IS a nice slow paced ride for those who want to take a little break. One of the best parts of Spaceship Earth is the smell of burning wood in Rome.That is another smell that should be bottled and sold. I love the music inside Spaceship Earth as well. It is very soothing.

Did you know? Spaceship Earth weighs a whopping 15,520,000 pounds, "equal in weight to 158 million golf balls." (Jason Dixon 23 NOV 99).

Today's Craving: Pirates of the Caribbean!

Welcome home, Cravers!

"Yo ho, yo ho! A pirates life for me!"

Today's Craving: Everything about Pirates of the Caribbean! I love the music. In fact, I'm learning how to play the theme on my penny whistle (a flute like instrument used often by sailors back in the day.) "A Pirates Life for Me" is just one of the songs you have to sing a long to. The set of the ride is amazing as well. What makes the ride so great is all the little details. Ever notice the muddy foot that hangs down from the bridge towards the late middle part of the ride? How can you miss it! You almost think mud will drip off into your boat! One of the best scenes (if not the best scene) is the jail scene towards the end where the inmates are trying to lure the dog with the keys to their cell. One of my personal favorite pirates is one of the scoundrels in the raid the town scene. He is the pirate with one foot in a boat, an arm full of treasure, and a stack of awesome hats about ten feet tall on his head.

Of course, Pirates is one of the most quotable rides there is (along with Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion.) "We wants the red head! We wants the read head!" "Carlos, don't be chicken!" "I'm not scrounging for rum! It be gold I'm after!" "Dead men tell no tales."

The best part of Pirates of the Caribbean? The smell of the water! It has to be among the best scents in the world. The smell of the ride alone brings back memories of great vacations. They should sell bottles of that water, or turn the scent into a candle. Just kidding. But really...

Listen to "A Pirates Life For Me!"

Today's Craving: Arrival Day!

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: Arrival Day! There is nothing like the feeling of driving onto Disney property for the first time! Going through that Walt Disney World sign is like going home for the first time in a long time. Even the purple directional signs that line the road are exciting! I always keep my eyes peeled for a monorail passing by. It is also a great feeling when you arrive at the resort and step out onto property for the first time. For me, arrival day is spent swimming in the pool, going out to eat for a nice dinner, going to Downtown Disney, or a combination thereof. The parks usually wait until the next day. What is arrival day like for you??

Have a magical  day!

Just Listen to Walt.

Today's Craving: Main Street USA

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom! Nothing beats the feeling you get when you first enter the park and stroll "right down the middle of Main Street USA." Don't deny it, you sing the song in your head every time. Main Street has the best view of the Castle, the best shopping in the park, and the best hot dogs in town! So be sure to stop into the Emporium for a souvenir and Casey's Corner for a hot dog! Grab a snack from one of the stands and catch a parade or two. Don't forget about Wishes! in the evening. Main Street undoubtedly has the best view in the park. And at night time, the view of Main Street is unbeatable! Before you leave, make sure you turn around to see the Castle and the buildings all lit up. If you ever get a chance to go to Disney during a holiday, make sure you take your time to check out all the decorations that embellish the street.

Did you know? The Emporium on Main Street can not close its doors at night until the last guest leaves, even if the park has been closed for hours.

Listen to Walking Right Down The Middle of Main Street USA!

Have a magical  day!

Today's Craving: Animal Kingdom!

Welcome home, Cravers!

Please accept our apologies for taking so long to post a new craving.

Today's Craving: Disney's Animal Kingdom! Try the Kilimanjaro Safari first thing in the morning and/or at 3:00 in the afternoon to see the animals when they are most active! Have some lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue, enjoy a walk through Asia and Africa, scream on Mount Everest, race back in time on Dinosaur, dance a long with The Festival of the Lion King, and swim under the sea during Finding Nemo: The Musical. Since the park closes a bit earlier than the rest, make some dinner reservations at a resort, head to Downtown Disney (soon to be Disney Springs,) or maybe spend an evening at the resort pool!

Ever wonder why Animal Kingdom feels hotter than the rest of the parks? Because it is! The vegetation in the park keeps the area warm and humid, giving it that authentic, rain forest feel for both the animals and the people to enjoy. Be sure to dress appropriately! And maybe pack some hairspray.

Have a magical  day!

Today's Craving: Maelstrom!

Welcome home, Cravers!

"You are not the first to pass this way..."

Today's Craving: Maelstrom! Explore Norway as a Viking, taking a trip on the high seas through mystical forests and falls. Beware of the tricky trolls hiding out! "Back! Back! Over the falls!" Don't forget to watch out for those polar bears and that oil rig! After the adventure, explore the shop where you can take your picture with the biggest troll of all or adopt your own! Experience Norwegian culture by trying out dessert at the bakery and checking out the movie at the end of the ride.

Did you know? A maelstrom is a very powerful whirlpool.

"Norway's spirit will always be adventure!"

Today's Craving: Adventureland and More!

Welcome home, Cravers!

Today's Craving: Adventureland! The atmosphere, the music, the rides, the Dole Whips. How about going on Pirates of the Caribbean, hiking through the Tree House, taking a break and enjoying the sunshine with a Dole Whip in your hand, taking a journey through The Jungle Cruise, and then heading to the (now restored to the (almost) original) Tiki Room! And if Today's Craving gets too boring for you, just take a quick hop and a skip over to Frontierland and Liberty Square where you can enjoy even more favorites (such as Splash Mountain and The Haunted Mansion.) Sit by the River's of America for a relaxing break.
