C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were contemporaries who both wrote
seminal books for different markets. In turn each became the models for
much genre literature to come. I read all the books as a kid, Lord of
the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. The Lord of the Rings series I
reread many times, became immersed in that world, and a fan of all

and The Wardrobe really stuck with me. I just reread for the first time
since my youth and found it simple, pleasurable, with an engaging story.
My review continues below the cut along with a review of the new Narnia Walk-Through attraction at Disney-MGM Studios.

Signaling the direction Bob Iger wants the Walt Disney Studios to go, Iger has placed the former Chief Financial Officer, Alan Bergman, in charge. To me that’s a bit like placing the child in charge of the cookie jar. He may know good cookies when he sees them and certainly knows that he wants more… Read More »New Studio President a loud signal?
According to Disney and guest feedback I have heard, Disney’s Magical Express, a service that picks up resort guests at the airport and transports them and their luggage separately to their hotel rooms, has been a success. Too big a success if you ask the shuttle drivers and taxi cab owners who are having their… Read More »Disney’s airport shuttle service a success!
