Military Disney Tips Round-Up, Woody (C) Disney

It's a Round-Up Partner

Hi and welcome to my first “Round-Up” many other great blogs use these as a way to give you links to great content on their site that you might not have seen and also great content on other web sites that you might enjoy seeing.

Leave a comment to tell me how you like this idea!

So here goes the Round-Up

Make sure to stay tuned to my Shades of Green Discount Package page. I predict Shades will continue coming out with new offers as the year goes on. You don’t want to miss out on a great discount offer.

Have you voted yet? Check out our poll on where our readers plan to stay this year while using their Armed Forces Salute Tickets.

If you’ve decided to stay at Shades of Green, did you see my reviews of Mangino’s and the Garden Gallery Buffet?

This week I found the most amazing photos of Disney World by Tom Bricker on flickriver and on his flicker page.

A great review of WDW’s new The Magic, The Memories, And You – Check out this post on yourfirstvisit.net. This new show runs in the Magic Kingdom Park in the Castle Forecourt Area and gives those waiting for fireworks or parades something to do. An example of NextGen Disney.

Disney’s new Command Center – This article from the New York Times is a little long but a good read. It’s about Disney’s attempt to deal with crowding in their parks. More NextGen Disney.

Airman runs Disney Marathon while deployed while his wife runs at Disney World – An Air Force Major organized a simultaneous running of the WDW Marathon at Camp Victory Baghdad. 451 runners competed while deployed!

Disney’s Pink, White, and Blue Cupcakes – Disney Food Blog post – I think they look Red,White, and Blue. Very patriotic.

Walt Disney World Resort Update on Mouse Planet – Lots of good info and pics of the Fantacyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom.
