While the temperatures outside are still very much summer-like and the kids are just getting ready to head back to school, it's never too early to start thinking about celebrating the holidays this year at the Walt Disney World Resort.

If you're traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort for Thanksgiving this year, you'll find a variety of dining options for your Turkey Day meal at the theme parks and the resorts. Whether your big holiday meal will be at lunch or dinner, there is something for everyone.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Chase are continuing their marketing partnership which includes the Disney Chase Visa debit and credit cards and the popular Chase VIP Lounge at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and the addition of three cardholder-exclusive events at this year's festival.

The year was 1982. Nearly two decades after Walt Disney first unveiled his ambitious plan to create an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, a theme park created to honor his dream was finally ready to welcome the world through its turnstiles. From EPCOT Center to just EPCOT to Epcot, changes in the name of the park, itself, have signaled Disney's commitment to constant reinvention. Join me on a brief journey from where we started to where we are now.

If you have plans to visit the Walt Disney World Resort this month there are several new merchandise events planned including fragrance events, artist showcases, jewelry collections, and new doll releases from the Precious Moments collection.

You've been on your feet all day, waiting in line after line to sip and snack your way through World Showcase. While all the food has been fun, you really just want to sit down someplace cool and relax while enjoying a fabulous meal - so where to go? While the crowds mix and mingle through the be sure to make an advance dinning reservations to enjoy some of Epcot's best any time of year. We've got the Top 3 Restaurants For A Sit Down Meal At Epcot During Food & Wine Festival.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District, the county-level government agency that provides fire and rescue services to the Walt Disney World Resort, is proposing an end to its special operations and response team. The team is trained to rescue people from collapsed building among other jobs.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is home to some great dining spots whether you're looking for table service or quick service. We love exploring the park for new things to eat and the quirky theming you'll find at many of the locations. From the animal-eats-animal "circle of life" theme at Flame Tree Barbecue (look at the signs closely the next time you visit) to the outdoor market theme at Tusker House, it's worth it to look around while you dine at the Animal Kingdom.

After being gone for a few months while its home theater was used for previews of Tomorrowland and Inside Out, Captain EO has returned to the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot. The attraction first returned to Epcot in 2010 and some wondered if the closure earlier this year was the end, but it seems that Captain EO is here to stay at least for a while longer.

Captain Eo fans will look stylish in this outfit inspired by an Epcot original. Disney fans either love him or hate him, but either way you'll be ready to save the world in this movie inspired outfit. Clean white jeans and a faux leather jacket show just a peek of the universe tank top beneath. To keep your style grounded on earth, add a pair of chunky white boots and this rainbow check seatbelt bag.

And because he's so adorable... how could we not add a plush Fuzzball!?!
