During a recent visit to Disney World, we hopped Disney Resorts. We checked out of Disney’s All Star Music Resort and checked into Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort. In this video you will get to come along with us to see a little bit from a Disney Value and Disney Moderate Resort. This will also help you decide if a Disney Value or Moderate Resort is best for your family vacation. We end the night with some fun at Disney Springs!
Hope you have a fabulous and blessed Easter. Here are the 9 best Disney Movie Easter Eggs.

The above photo is a still from the parade scene in Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, released in 2009. Do you recognize the ruler of the sea who makes a guest appearance as a float? It is King Triton from The Little Mermaid!
The Little Mermaid was released in 1989. Interestingly enough Triton was the name of a Greek God. In Greek Mythology Triton was “the messenger of the sea”, the name is fitting and Disney has left us with a fun hidden message!
Reader Katherine shared her pictures from Stevenston, British Columbia, Canada, or as most of us know it as — Storybrooke. The home of Emma, Regina, Henry, Charming & Snow, Mr. Gold and all our favorite characters from Once Upon A Time!
While the entire show is not filmed there, it is recognizable to those that are familiar to the show. The street and a lot of storefronts are used and even some of the actual stores on the inside are used. The ice cream store, Any Given Sundae, is just a store front (the inside of the store is a set on a studio lot somewhere else). The Steveston Cannery Cafe (also know as Granny’s Diner) is another one that they (surprisingly!) only use the outside of. The inside is also a set at another location. And the real building (Steveston Cannery Cafe) has recently closed it’s doors for good and the building has been sold – but OUAT has permission to still film the outside. But it’s sad that you can’t actually eat there anymore.
While you’re roaming the streets of Storybrooke, be on the lookout of Leroy’s garage and the door that was used for Archie’s office.
Also, it appears some stores have embraced the town’s fame from the OUAT filming and have adopted “Storybrooke” as part of their business – like this bakery that is not in the show.
It’s Posh! is the store used for Mr. Gold’s Pawnshop. The window is recognizable because it actually says “Mr. Gold’s Pawnshop” and the first 25 feet of the building on the inside is cleared out because that actually film the pawnshop scenes in there!
When the OUAT crew is not filming, you can visit It’s Posh for your OUAT merchandise fix! Like your very own “Entering Storybrooke” sign. The back of the store is an antique shop and the owner of the show says that Regina and Rumpelstiltskin hang out in the antique shop when they are between scenes.
If you decide to visit Steveston, be sure to drop by the post office. They sell a lot of Once Upon a Time merchandise and are friendly and helpful. There is also a candy store (not used in the show) that sells Once Upon a Time candies and is frequented often by Henry!
If you have been to Steveston (or if you decide to go) please tell us about it and share pictures!
Here is an interesting fact I never noticed before in The Little Mermaid. Right in the opening scene, when King Triton arrives at the arena who but Mickey Mouse himself, Goofy & Donald Duck can be seen quickly in the audience!
I love how Disney puts little things in the movies to keep them connected.
Also did you know when The Little Mermaid came out in 1989, it was the first fairy tale released since Sleeping Beauty in 1959. Imagine waiting that long now?

Walt Disney wanted to keep the park clean, so you will find trash cans every 27 steps in every park. Cast Members are also expected to pick up any litter they see.
As a guest, I always make sure I find a trash can for even the tiniest piece of trash. If I see trash, I will also pick it up if I am able.
As you walk up Main Street at Rope Drop, Cast Members from the stores will be on the curbs waving at guests. We love looking for these cheerful faces and waving back.
Such a fun and magical start to a magical day at Walt Disney World!
