After several years, the Muppet Mobile Lab is returning to Epcot.  The last time the attraction was there was 2007, so it will be exciting to see what the show has in store for us this time.  It features Doctor Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, and is an interactive experience.  They are located on a vehicle that can move around the ...

Ten Lies About Disney World

Fireworks light up Cinderella Castle at Disney World, as excited fans and Disney veterans gather to enjoy the nighttime spectacular.

1. It’s only for kids The biggest lie about Walt Disney World is that it’s only for kids.

A vintage baseball player statue with bat stands by a yellow Main Street Magic Kingdom building, evoking classic Disney nostalgia.

4. Magic bands track your every move I can kind of understand why people might think this, but this is not true at all. While magic bands do automatically upload your ride photos to your My Disney Experience account, and they can be used for other things like park entry, making purchases, Mickey is most definitely not tracking your every ...

Ten Lies About Disney World

Mickey's Really Swell Coffee green mugs with Mickey Mouse are lined up on a Disney World shop shelf—perfect park souvenirs.

5. Every attraction ends in a gift shop This point is something that’s overheard often by guests in Walt Disney World, which I just find amusing because most attractions actually do not end in gift shops. If you actually look at the number of attractions that exit into gift shops and the number of attractions that do not, you’d be ...
