Chad and his wife Stephanie

Earlier today I cancelled a trip to Disneyland. I’m a little sad about not being able to go to Disneyland, I was looking forward to seeing Walt’s original park and of course meeting my friend Chad from www.Daysinthepark.com, but airfare and income taxes worked against us this year. As Chad said to me in a message earlier, Disneyland will be there next year also. So, we’ll try again another time.

That means that this summer we will be returning to our Home away from Home- Disney World. When I cancelled our Disneyland reservations, I booked a stay at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. Being a Disney Vacation Club Member is a wonderful thing. All I had to do was call and move our reservations over to Disney World from the Disneyland Resort and we will still have a Disney Vacation for this summer.

I’m excited to be going “Home” again, as we haven’t been to Disney World in almost 18 months. By the time we actually go it will be over two years. Being Disney Vacation Club Members, we used our yearly allotment of points for this past year to take friends with us on our trip in 2010. That was a wonderful trip, but it was a while ago now.

Thinking about our upcoming trip, I can’t wait to get back to the Magic, for so many reasons, but I am looking forward to doing some new things on this trip. We are looking into taking the “Behind the Magic” tour, through the Magic Kingdom. I have wanted to do this tour for many years now, but John (our son) was too young. He is now 16 and can go on the tour.  I am also looking forward to seeing the new
Fantasyland, since some of it will be open when we are there. I am also excited because I think John will go on Rock-n-Roller Coaster with me and Space Mountain (he’s getting more adventurous in his riding choices.) Then of course there is Star Tours. We haven’t been on the 3-D version, the last time we were there it wasn’t up and running yet. We also are very excited to try Via Napoli, because once again, it wasn’t open when we were last there.

When I first made this website, I did it to share the Unknown Magic that Walt Disney World has to offer. As I was saying earlier, I am looking forward to getting “back to the Magic”; all the little things that make Walt Disney World the most Magical Place on Earth. The special touches that are added to every attraction that takes you from reality to a special place while you are experiencing the rides, the hidden pathways around the Theme Parks and Resorts, that hold hidden treasures
that you need to look for to find, and of course the Cast Members that not only Welcome you Home, they make sure you have a Magical Experience while you are in Disney World.

In one of the first articles I ever posted, “I’m Going to Disney World…” I talked about some of the Magic of planning for your Disney World Trip. Please check back every week over the next few months, as I share with you this Magic as we plan for our trip to Disney’s Old Key West Resort. I will also be sharing some of the Unknown Magics that I am looking forward to seeing again and the new ones I am excited about finding.
