Perhaps the most iconic ride of all time, "it's a small world" opened at the 1964-1965 World's Fair in New York at the UNICEF pavilion sponsored by Pepsi-Cola and was later moved to Disneyland, opening there in May 1966. Imagineers Mary Blair, Rolly Crump, Blaine Gibson, Marc Davis, Alice Davis, Harriet Burns and Claude Coats worked closely alongside Walt Disney to bring this attraction to life, and the Sherman Brothers (Richard and Robert Sherman) wrote its iconic theme song. With so much incredible history and a compelling message, this attraction is one of the best known in the world, and the song, written as a prayer for peace, is one of the most played songs of all time.   In this podcast episode, we dive into the rich history of "it's a small world" and share some fun facts you might not have known about this attraction.

Getting to play armchair Imagineer is one of my favorite pastimes. As a Disney fan, it's fun to imagine what could possibly one day come to the Disney Parks. Blue sky concepts from Walt Disney Imagineering are imaginative, inspiring, and downright exciting, teasing out what we might be able to expect at the Disney Parks one day. In this episode, we test our skills at coming up with ideas for potential Imagineering projects, and while the ideas are completely our own (none of these have been announced by Disney in any way), I hope you enjoy hearing what we come up with.   What concepts and ideas would you most like to see at Walt Disney World? Tag me and join the conversation below.

The Disneyland Resort in California is an amazing place for families of all ages, which includes toddlers and infants. With countless attractions for little ones to enjoy across two parks (Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure), character experiences, dining, and more, Disneyland is worth visiting with the whole family. In this episode, we chat about our most recent Disneyland vacation, which was our 18-month-old daughter's first time visiting the Disneyland Resort. We discuss when we decided to go, where we stayed, how we strategically decided to navigate the park, our review of Genie+, where we dined, and our review of the World of Color One Dessert Party.   What additional advice would you offer to families traveling to Disneyland California with an infant or toddler? Tag me and join the conversation below.

The Norway Pavilion at EPCOT (including Frozen Ever After and its predecessor, Maelstrom) is full of authentic details that speak to the culture, history, music and cuisine of Norway. Opening in 1988, the pavilion features a table-service restaurant (Akershus), a quick-service bakery (Kringla Bakeri Og Cafe), a main attraction (Frozen Ever After), a meet-and-greet (Anna and Elsa's Royal Sommerhus), and shopping. The pavilion has a rich history, and this episode is devoted to the Imagineering, the details, the music, and the culture and history that make up the EPCOT Norway Pavilion in World Showcase.   What do you love most about the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT? Tag me and join the conversation below.
