Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, a new family tradition When it comes to holidays everyone has their favorites, and Disney does them all. In fact holidays are usually peak times for Disney travel and for good reason. Walt Disney World seems to grab hold of the very essence of the Holiday and completely run with it. And Halloween is no different. Growing up in south Louisiana this was always one of my favorite holidays. Partly because fall meant cooler weather was on the way, but the rest I

Barber Shop At Disney? Who Knew!
Did you know that Magic Kingdom has a barber shop? Who would have thought? It's called Harmony Barber Shop and you can find it upon entering Magic Kingdom.
