    Maelstrom – Throwback Thursday

    ByLucinda A. (NDM#139) Thursday, October 27, 2016Sunday, October 30, 2016

      This week’s Throwback Thursday revisits the Maelstrom, the dark ride that used to be in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot. I feel that this collage captures a few of the best parts of this attraction – the Chuck Norris look alike on the mural, the clipboard Hidden Mickey, the one eyed troll, and the best…

    Frozen Ever After – Love It or Hate It?

    ByMaria H. (ndm#130) Tuesday, August 16, 2016Sunday, August 21, 2016

      Frozen Ever After is a new attraction featured in the Norway Pavilion at Walt Disney World’s Epcot. It is a boat ride in the building that used to feature the Maelstrom. Frozen Ever After was quite the controversial attraction, as people were upset for many reasons, the biggest being that the attraction would be based on the fictional, animated…

    Expedition Everest – The Forbidden Mountain

    ByChris W. (NDD #300) Monday, August 15, 2016Sunday, August 21, 2016

      During our May trip, I found myself with a little extra time before my solo ride on Expedition Everest. I wanted to get some shots showing the attraction’s scale. The attraction and area design/theming do a fantastic job of creating the illusion that park guests are actually in the Himalayan region, partly because of…

    ‘Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!’ Coming to Disneyland

    ByMaria H. (ndm#130) Monday, July 25, 2016Saturday, July 30, 2016

      In what seems to have caused a massive rift between Disney and Marvel fans over the weekend, the confirmation of the rumor (heard from Walt Disney World News Today ‘WDWNT’) regarding the retheming of Disneyland’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror was announced at San Diego Comic Con Marvel Studios Panel. It appears that Orlando’s Tower…

    Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Mood Swings

    ByChris W. (NDD #300) Tuesday, July 5, 2016Sunday, July 10, 2016

      Shooting park icons is pretty irresistible. We don’t get to the parks as often as I like, but even if I lived near the parks, I think there are some shots I’d probably take almost every time. Ok, maybe every time. There’s no doubt the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a park icon….

    Tomorrowland Star Jets – Throwback Thursday

    ByCharlene K. Thursday, June 30, 2016Friday, July 1, 2016

         The Tomorrowland Star Jets was an attraction that opened on November 28, 1974 in Magic Kingdom. I am not sure of when this photo was taken, but it was sometime before the attraction was closed in 1994 for a refurb. It later reopened as the Astro Orbiter. I love the view of the…

      Can you see him peeking at you? That lone, yellow eyeball used to peek up from the rock right before the drop on the Maelstrom attraction in Epcot’s Norway pavilion. The Maelstrom, which means a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river, was a dark ride attraction at Epcot, that featured a short film…

    Skyway Over Fantasyland – Throwback Thursday

    ByCharlene K. Thursday, May 26, 2016Friday, May 27, 2016

      This week’s Throwback Thursday needs very little introduction. Please enjoy these photos I found of the Skyway over Fantasyland. Technically, this attraction was called Skyway to Tomorrowland, as it departed from Fantasyland with Tomorrowland as its destination. The Skyway was a gondola lift attraction that was very popular. It was a great way to…

    1973 Disneyland Submarine Voyage – Throwback Thursday

    ByCharlene K. Thursday, April 7, 2016Friday, April 8, 2016

      Last week, we revisited a vintage 1970’s Walt Disney World attraction, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I thought it would be fun to revisit the California counterpart, Disneyland’s Submarine Voyage. This attraction opened in June, 1959 and was part of a major expansion of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. Submarine Voyage also used to feature real-live mermaids swimming…
