Almost Wordless Wednesday ~ Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July and welcome to The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic.com where each week we share our Disney Wordless Wednesday or Almost Wordless Wednesday Disney related picture posts.
You can link up a Facebook picture, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Flickr, video post or your own blog post. The rules are few and linking up is simple. Hop along over to The Disney Wordless Wednesday 411 for all the details.
This week's theme is Your July Calendar Shot.
My calendar shot for the month is one I took during The Hall of Presidents performance. I always enjoy this attraction and when this part came on the screen I just had to take a snap. I know a lot of people take the time to catch a few zzz's and enjoy the air conditioning. Not me, I enjoy the air conditioning but I truly enjoy American history and learning about our countries rich heritage. This scene during the show is particularly moving while Lincoln's face fades in appearing briefly in the background. I hope you enjoy it!

Top 2 Disney Memories
This week's topic is our Top 2 Favorite Disney Memories. Narrowing my favorites down to just two was really tough. All I have are wonderful memories since our first trip as a family in 1990. My favorites could fill a book but here are two.
The first is from and E-ticket night in the Magic Kingdom. It was during the soft opening of Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. We rode it over and over and each time our scores got better and better. What a great night!

On E-Ticket nights the characters would wander the parks throughout the night, greeting guests and signing autographs. There were no lines and you usually had them all to yourself for awhile until they wandered off in to the darkness. They fooled around quite a bit with guests always staying in character but really acting out, which was a lot of fun for us. You can read more about it HERE.
My second is from a very special birthday I spent in Disney World. That night we had dinner at the Rose & Crown which was absolutely fabulous ending with the servers singing "Happy Birthday" along with my family. After dinner we watched Illuminations and I got to photograph it from the best location in the World Showcase. You can read more about it HERE.

Winter Holiday Dining Hours at Walt Disney World Resort
Are you an avid Disney trip planner? Are you planning your dining reservations at Walt Disney World for the holidays already?
I think you'll find it helpful in getting your most sought after ADRs lined up on your spreadsheet. We know you have one;)
Of course, the ADR reservation window hasn't opened up yet for November so this is just for your pre-plan stage. I call it my dream phase of planning...
Is there a location you can’t wait to try on the list?
