Larger Than Life Memories Make Castle Display
During a recent trip to Walt Disney World Resort , I was thrilled to witness a new nightly show, “The Magic, The Memories and You!” A 10-minute program of special effects and magic are projected onto Cinderella’s Castle showing up to 500 images of guests that visited Magic Kingdom theme park (map) that very day.
Even though I had attended a session that explained how the show comes to life, as the images were projected among the spires and turrets and walls of the castle,...

However, it must have been noticed by quite a few people as the Carrousel will now and forever more be known as Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. There is even a story that goes along with the grand carrousel and perhaps explains the name change.

Guten Tag! Epcot’s Germany Pavilion
One of my favorite theme parks within Walt Disney World Resort (map) is Epcot (map) and more specifically, the World Showcase.
