    The Legacy of Love on a Roller Coaster (Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith in Walt Disney World)

    Send us a text Opening with a private event in July of 1999, the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith launched into success and was an instant fan favorite! Join us this week as we deep dive this personal favorite and say farewell to its legendary pre-show as we close out 2025. The first roller coaster in Walt Disney World Orlando to include inversions, this ride delivers with an initial force of 5Gs during the launch sequence into an incredible track, timed perfectly with songs from Aerosmith. We discuss the ride's history, mechanics, Aerosmith's involvement and what has been announced  for the new pre-show and theme.  Find full recipes for this week's themed cocktail and mocktail on our instagram @MamaNeedsMoreDisney.  Spirited: Dream on the Rocks Steady: Bittersweet Emotions Follow us on Instagram: @MamaNeedsMoreDisney

    Rooted In Magic (The Tree of Life)

    Send us a text This week, we delve into the creation of a visual icon and masterpiece. Standing at 145 feet tall, the Tree of Life can withstand hurricane force winds and is the perfect beacon, welcoming guests to explore Animal Kingdom in  Orlando, Florida. We marvel at the creative genius that resulted in around 325 animal faces which feel as though they are emerging from the tree itself. Not only is it a beautiful icon, it is the gateway to the beautiful discovery trails and holds a full theater below and will be opening soon with the newly rethemed 4D show, Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
