By Leave a Comment

There are Disney movies that receive new merchandise approximately every eleven minutes. Then there is The Rescuers Down Under. Released in 1990, this wildly underrated Disney adventure gave us Bernard, Miss Bianca, Jake, Cody, Marahute, Wilbur, and one deeply misunderstood goanna (Nope, that’s not a typo. A goanna is a species of lizard found in Australia) with a dangerous appetite for eggs. Yes, we are talking about Joanna.

Scientists Are Investigating Your Obsession With Disney

By 2 Comments

For many Disney fans, the reason they love Disney so much is because of the emotion attached to it. They grew up watching Disney movies, going to the Disney parks, listening to Disney music, and generally feel a strong connection to the Disney brand.

Review: Dinner at the Contempo Cafe in Disney’s Contemporary Resort

By 11 Comments

The Contempo Cafe has consistently been one of my favorite spots for better-than-average counter service meals.

Disney World Restaurants

What you find here is quick service, no advance dining reservation required. But the fare is anything but fast food quality.

It had been a while since I’d enjoyed a meal here, and since that last visit, they’d added a Lobster Roll that was getting rave reviews from readers!

Recently, on a very quick visit to the World, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to check out all that’s new at the Contempo — and to see if I still consider it a must-do stop.

Atmosphere

If you’re unfamiliar with the Contempo Cafe, well, you’ve probably seen it before, and you just didn’t know it! It occupies primo Disney real estate right next to Chef Mickey’s on the Grand Canyon Concourse in Disney’s Contemporary Hotel.
