What do Mickey Mouse and Mona Lisa Have In Common?

Mickey Mouse and Mona Lisa

Well, they both sit atop categories in the Global Attractions Attendance Report, otherwise known as Theme Index Museum Index 2017.  Mickey Mouse's Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World was the most visited theme park last year with attendance of 20,450,000.  Mona Lisa, not to be totally out done, pulled in 8,100,000 at her lovely establishment in Paris, Louvre.  Let's take a look at the top ten in each category.  And, while we're at it, we might as well look at water parks as well.

Disney certainly continues to reign supreme.  However, when we're not in Orlando, we're looking forward to visiting some of these great other attractions.

Disney World's Free Dining Plan Is Announced, And The Verdict Is In

Each year Disney World comes out with some sort of dining plan offer, and this year it involves the word "FREE".

Disney Free Dining Plan


To qualify for the free dining plan, the visitor must be staying at a Disney World hotel.  Additionally, the visitor must also upgrade to a Park Hopper ticket.
However,  some people are looking at the deal, and depending on which hotel they are staying at, the deal might not be all that it's cracked up to be.  For the lesser expensive Disney world hotels, this deal could make sense for a family (especially if they had already planned on purchasing the park hopper option, which many people do).  For the more expensive and luxurious hotels, it might be worth it to pay your own way from restaurant to restaurant. 

For a more detailed look at the offer, and analysis, click here.

Take the Epcot Survey: Eating and Drinking at the World Showcase

Epcot World Showcase


Epcot is one of the top tourist destination in the World.  Although it is the second most popular theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort, it still landed 6th on the World's list of the top 25 most visited theme parks in 2014, bringing in 11,454,000 fans.  The Magic Kingdom topped the list with 19,332,000 visitors.

Epcot has some of the top attractions in any of Disney World's four theme parks, and, actually, any of the theme parks in Orlando.  Some of the amazing attractions include taking a ride on Spaceship Earth in Epcot's iconic geodesic dome, grabbing a seat for a viewing of The American Adventure where the audience experience key moments in American history via an audio animatronic-driven "montage" stage show, or getting involved in designing your own roller coaster and testing it in a simulator at Sum of All Thrills.

However, many visitors are drawn to Epcot for their fantastic food and drink scene, and, specifically, in the World Showcase.  The World Showcase features 11 pavilions, each themed and representing its own Country.  They are, in the order you can walk through, travel the world, and experience them, Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada.

There are a total of 31 restaurants, cafes, bars, and lounges in the World Showcase.  They are sprinkled amongst the different pavilions, each catering to the theme of the Country they reside in.  Whether you're looking to sit down for a nice meal, to drink your way around the World, or to simply grab a quick snack on the go, there is something for everyone.  But, which spot tops them all?  That's an impossible question to answer, since each spot is unique, and it also depends on the appetite in question.  Below is a brief survey we have put together.  With your help, we should get a good idea of which spots visitors tend to enjoy the most.
