Buster’s TOP TEN Least Favorite Attractions at Walt Disney World

While Walt Disney World generally has amazing rides and attractions, we all have those that just don't do it for us. Maybe we find them boring. Perhaps they make us uncomfortable. But we all have those rides that we end up skipping. Today, I (Buster) will be unveiling MY Top Ten LEAST favorite rides. DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal opinion, based upon my own personal preference. I freely recognize that many of these attractions are probably on people's Top Ten most favorite rides. That perfectly fine. We are all different with our own likes and dislikes. But that doesn't…

BUSTER THE MYTHBUSTER: Are Mondays Really the Worst Day To Visit the Magic Kingdom?

We're back with another edition of "Buster the MythBUSTER"! In today's episode, we're looking at whether Mondays are really the busiest day at the Magic Kingdom. In many Facebook groups, blogs, Disney information sites, it is a pretty commonly held belief that one should avoid the Magic Kingdom on Mondays. The general thinking is that Mondays are usually the first park day for many visitors, and most people want to make the Magic Kingdom the first park that they visit. They want to start their WDW vacation by seeing the castle, riding the classic rides, seeing the parades, the fireworks,…

BUSTER THE MYTHBUSTER:  Genie+ Edition

BUSTER THE MYTHBUSTER: Genie+ Edition

As you probably know, Genie+ is Walt Disney World's latest iteration of its "select an attraction return time" service. When you buy Genie+, you can reserve return times for select attractions throughout the day. When your retune time comes, instead of waiting in the regular standby line, you get access to the ride through the "Lightning Lane". This allows you to get onto the ride faster. While that description sounds simple, Genie+ is anything but simple. It has all sorts of different rules and restrictions which can make the head spin of even the most seasoned WDW guest. It's no…

TRIP REPORT:  25th Wedding Anniversary WDW Trip

TRIP REPORT: 25th Wedding Anniversary WDW Trip

Banshee and I just got back from our 25th anniversary WDW getaway. Thanks to the kindness of Banshee's mom, we were able to make this trip without children... our first child-free trip to WDW since 2001!

It did give us the opportunity to explore certain things that we wouldn't have been able to do with Little Banshee. Now, there was a little twinge of guilt not having her with us. However, we…
