One of the many highlights for my kids in Disney World was when they got the chance to star in their own video game. They did this thanks to a place called ThinkPlace, sponsored by IBM, in Epcot. The steps required to star in your own video game are pretty simple. You just need to step inside a special photo booth and do the following: 1. Run in place. 2. Jump up in the air. 3. Do a victory dance. The result (for my 8-year-old) is this: If you can't see the embedded video above, please click the following link:… Continue reading...
This wasn't my family's first trip to Disney World. We went a few years ago before our kids started school. I remember on the last visit seeing a bunch of professional photographers scattered throughout the parks. For the first day, we avoided them completely because we thought they were going to try to sell us a bunch of expensive photos. Only later did we realize that these professional photographers only enhance your entire Disney experience. This is because of something Disney calls the PhotoPass. What is a PhotoPass?

I love using my GPS to locate the nearest Starbucks or McDonald's while traveling. Or to make sure there is a gas station up the road when I feel I can go a few more exits before stopping for gas. Locations such as Starbucks, McDonald's and gas stations are known in the GPS world as points of interest, or POI. My GPS is loaded with hundreds of thousands of them. But little did I know there were thousands more to be had. After a presentation last Friday night, a gentleman walked up to me and asked me if I had… Continue reading...
