Daily Dose Of Disney – Pirates Of The Caribbean

Disney World Magic Kingdom Pirates of the Caribbean

Did you know that the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction was almost never built in Disney World? Disney Imagineers didn’t think guests would be interested in the attraction since Florida was already so close to the Caribbean.

Daily Dose Of Disney – Jungle Cruise

Disney World Magic Kingdom Jungle Cruise Elephants

Did you know that Walt Disney originally wanted to use live animals in the Jungle Cruise attraction? Due to the unpredictability of the animals and the high costs associated with using them, Disney decided to use audio-animatronic ones instead.

Daily Dose Of Disney – Characters In Flight

Characters In Flight

Did you know that the Characters in Flight balloon at Downtown Disney is actually filled with helium instead of hot air? Did you also know that all of the operators are certified balloon pilots and are able to fly and land the balloon in the unlikely event that it would break free from the tethers? Good to know!

Friday Favorites – Best Disney World Breakfast Spot – Boma

For today’s Friday favorites, I would like to share with you my pick for the best Disney World breakfast spot – Boma. I absolutely love this place! Boma is a buffet-style restaurant located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. In my opinion, this is the best place for breakfast in all of Disney World. They have an amazing variety of tasty foods so even the most picky of eaters, like myself, can find plenty of things to try. We make Boma a regular stop every time we visit Disney World and when I was there twice last week, it was great as usual!

Here’s everything you need to know about Boma:
