Welcome!

This is an independent website featuring photos, videos and other musings of Alan S. Dalinka focused on parks, resorts and other places and things associated with Walt Disney and Hollywood.
I used to visit Walt Disney World to celebrate the New Year every year, going back to welcoming in 2003 (and there was a year in there that I delayed my annual trip for a few days for family reasons. Even after I moved to Central Florida, I continued to ring in the new year in the parks, but January 1, 2020 was the last time I did that. The 2020 Happy New Year hat was the last one I got. The parks skipped celebrating the start of 2021 due to the global pandemic, but I had already decided to skip it before that. In fact, I decided that immediately after the fireworks ended on January 1, 2020. Anyway, the parks celebrated the start of 2022 and forward, but the Annual Pass structure changes had me selecting a tier where New Year’s Eve is blocked out, so I skipped those.
