Alright then, we’re down to our final 2 parks at the Walt Disney World resort, and as promised our brief interview with Adrian!
Hollywood Studios
To be honest this is my least favourite park at WDW. I’m not a thrill ride person so I won’t go on Tower of Terror or Rock’n'Rollercoaster. I don’t really care much for stunt shows. Now having said that 2 of my favourite rides are in this park, and I still think it’s definitely worth the visit.

So I’ve talked about our hotel at the WDW resort, Port Orleans French Quarter. And I’ve talked about our dining experiences while there. And now it’s time to talk about our experiences in the parks themselves. In our group we had 3 different experience levels as far as the parks were concerned. I’ve been to WDW and Disneyland a fair number of times. My mother had been to Disneyland several times but hadn’t been to Walt Disney World since sometime in the 1970′s so a LOT had changed since then. And Adrian, he hadn’t been to a Disney park at all.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of going to Orlando with my mother and her companion Adrian. We were there for the annual Vacation.com conference and decided to extend our stay by a few days so that we could visit Walt Disney World. While I’ve been there several times in the last few years, the last time my mother was there was in the 1970′s and Adrian had never been to a Disney park before.

CATSA has revised the official carry-on regulations effective January 20. The new regulations are very similar to the old (pre-December bombing attempt) regulations, although very slightly different. It appears as though the biggest differences entail a limitation on the size of laptop cases and purses.
Passengers are now allowed to bring one carry-on, and one personal item. “carry-on baggage is limited to a size of 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm (22 in x 16 in x 9 in), which is equivalent to the size of a small gym bag”. Carrying cases for laptops must be limited to holding the laptop and accessories only, cases with expandable pockets, wheels, backpack style cases will count as your carry-on bag.
More information on the new regulations can be found on the CATSA website:

We’re very proud to announce the long-awaited debut of our new photo gallery! There aren’t many photos on there at the moment as we’re busily preparing for our Annual Christmas Party Tour that leaves tomorrow, but keep checking back as we’ll be adding new photos regularly. And be sure to check it after December 9 for pictures from this year’s Christmas Party trip! The photo gallery has some very exciting features, including the ability to send a photo as an e-card – perfect for sharing memories and moments of the trip with your friends and family! It also allows registered users to upload their own photos, so if you have pictures from the tours or from trips that we’ve booked for you we’d love to see them! User registrations and photo uploads do require approval so there may be a delay in getting those approved when we’re escorting tours.
