Tip of the Week

This week’s tip comes via email from listener Chris Edinger, who shares one strategy for best approaching Extra Magic Hours..

Featured Attraction

This week we look at the Reflections of China at Epcot.

Review System Spotlight

This week we take a look at Pizzafari and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. MousePlanet readers like it, rating it 3.8 out of five planets. Our featured review this week is by Kathie of New Hampshire.

Kathie and her family eat lunch at Pizzafari every visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and think that is the best counter service at Animal Kingdom, giving the eatery a 4-planet rating.

You can also find Pizzafari in our Park Guide.

“If you could design a new attraction themed for the Wonders of Life building, what would it be?”

Magical Moment

This week’s Magical Moment comes from listener Chris from Milwaukee who, with his wife, managed to have two official Magical Moments in one day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Last Week on MousePlanet

Andrew Rich, down at MousePlanet Global Headquarters told you what you may have missed on the MousePlanet site last week if you’re not visiting regularly.

Listener Feedback

John Papas wrote in to disagree about the tip regarding the “Behind the Seeds” tour and also to say that Bill Carpi should have taken a more adversarial stance in trying to get satisfaction after the debacle at Walt Disney World following the last-minute cancellation of his Thanksgiving Disney cruise due to a norovirus outbreak in 2002.

Kristen Lopez of the Midnight Matinee Podcast wrote in to pass along that she and Eric will be doing four weeks the films of the “Disney Renaissance” from August 11th through September 1st.
