NFL Brings a Taste of WDW to Baltimore

Archivemagicband plus

Banshee, Little Buster, and I had the opportunity to see the Ravens-Steelers game live this past Sunday night. Given the Ravens poor play down the stretch, the highlight for me was the pre-game extravaganza. In a bid to make the in-person game day experience special, the NFL is trying to turn the game into a multimedia spectacle, not unlike what you might see at night at one of the Disney Parks. In recent years, the Ravens have added fireworks, smoke machines, ultra-high def mega screens, and sharks with frickin' laser beams (well, maybe just lasers :-)). However, on Sunday night,…

Banshee’s Favorite Sweet Treats at WDW

Archivedining, snacks, walt disney world

One of the pleasures of vacationing at WDW is the food... specifically the sweet treats. The Banshee’s sweet tooth is always ready to party at Disney!! Over the years, I have come to anticipate my favorite sweet treats as soon as we go under the welcome sign. These are my picks for must-have splurges. I am sure there are others that I have never tried that would make the list without doubt. I should also point out that sometimes food associates with feelings and good memories and so a favorite may not be the most decadent or best tasting but…

Archiverides, underrated, walt disney world

This is another episode in our ongoing series "Overrated/Underrated". In this installment, we will give our opinion on which rides at WDW we think are underrated. One of the big draws of Walt Disney World are the rides and attractions. However, not all attractions are created equal. Some are iconic and are always popular draws (although many of those popular rides are overrated in our opinion, but that's the subject of another article... literally!). On the other hand, some of frequently overlooked, as judged by the fact that they rarely have long wait times. This article is dedicated to those…

The first question that most people face when planning a WDW trip is deciding when to go. As you would expect, the most convenient times to go are also the most popular times to go.

Rodeo Roundup BBQ: A Lost Opportunity?

Archivedining, hollywood studios

This week, Disney released an update on the long awaited Rodeo Roundup BBQ at Hollywood Studios at WDW. This is a new table service restaurant that is slated to open in Toy Story Land. The key takeaways from the update are 1. The new opening date is Spring 2023 (originally it was 2020... then 2022), and 2. This will be a family style BBQ restaurant. There were also an assortment of pictures of the interior, which was kind of neat, but nothing Earth shattering. While the prospect of a new restaurant opening at Hollywood Studios is exciting (it certainly can…

This is the next installment in our "Overrated/Underrated" series. Today, we are going to share rides which we feel are overrated. Obviously, rides are the main reason why most people visit the parks. We each have our must-do's and must-skips, and everyone lists are different. However, there are some on our must-skip list which always seem to have long wait times for reasons that escape us. We find that they don't quite live up to the hype. Now I know some people's personal favorites may be on this list, and those people might be offended by that. Please don't be.…
