From the Niagara Falls Review:
The East High Wildcats are in the house.
And by the time they leave, Silver Mist Productions may have its biggest hit to date.
It was midway through last year’s run of “Beauty and the Beast” that producer Linus Hand learned the rights to Disney’s “High School Musical 2” just became available. He [...]

As I mentioned in the beginning, this wasn’t meant to be a thorough comparison of Orland and Niagara Falls, or Disney and Clifton Hill. But after visiting Orlando last month, I couldn’t help but find some parallels.

This will probably be the shortest post of the series. I didn’t stay in a hotel, so I can’t comment on much other than what I saw advertised.

More than once I’ve made the comment to people about the types of attractions we have in Niagara Falls. What [...]

As I mentioned before, I spent a week or so down in Kissimmee FL (just outside of Orlando) a month ago (I can’t believe it has been that long!). I couldn’t help but compare Disney and the surrounding area with Niagara Falls. I’ll share those thoughts with you this week. This is NOT meant to [...]

From the Niagara Falls Review:
It didn’t feel a lot like Christmas, but the Winter Festival of Lights made the most of it on a rainy opening night Saturday.
Under a steady downpour, a soggy crowd at Queen Victoria Park sat through an hour of speeches, Christmas carols and magic acts before Disney favourites Goofy and Pluto [...]
