Celebration, Florida, has been named to Forbes' Top 10 Prettiest Neighborhood List.

The Disney-planned and built community exudes a "small-town America feel," according to Forbes, thanks in part to its parks, places of worship, restaurants and shops. Forbes goes on to say that Celebration, while technically a town, is a throwback "to a time and place that may or may not have existed, but through force of will and careful planning, does now."

It was one of their most popular offerings last year, and now Disney Floral & Gifts has announced its return. We're talking about, of course, their Mickey's "Spooktacular" In-Room Celebration.

Walt Disney World Limited Time Magic: Week 20

A very brief Limited Time Magic celebration this weekend! Saturday's coronation of Merida into the court of 'official" Disney Princesses was a jubilant celebration complete with a visit from my favorite Disney Mom of all, Queen Elinor, who placed the lovely tiara on her daughter Merida's head. Sadly, rumor has it that this would be Queen Elinor's one and only appearance.
