Kingdom Destinations - Lissa Ryan

I can't believe it's been 19 years since the 9/11 attacks. It's interesting how all of us remember that day so vividly.

I remember being on a work trip at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, Florida, watching the news while getting ready for my morning meeting. The rest of the day and the days following were so bizarre because I was "stuck" such a beautiful location while so much darkness was happening at home in the DC area, NY and PA. With the airports closed, we used our rental cars and made the long drive back home several days later.

Exactly one month later, on October 11, we decided to keep our scheduled trip to Italy. When we saw the military with their heavy armory at the airport, it was definitely a reminder that our world was a different place.

What are your memories from 9/11/01?

If you have not seen Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom, it's something you do not want to miss on your next Walt Disney World visit. Here you can discover a beautiful land that celebrates the magic of nature.

One of the must-do attractions in Pandora is Avatar Flight of Passage. It's such a unique ride experience combining 3D effects and ride simulation. You truly feel like you are riding on the back of a mountain banshee flying above the forest with drops and turns along the way. Even my 5-year old nephew claimed it was his very favorite ride at Walt Disney World!

Due to its popularity and slow loading procedures, the wait time for this ride can be quite long. It's not unusual to see at least 1-2 hours of wait time posted. When you are ready to plan your next visit to Walt Disney World, I will give you ALL the TIPS you need to minimize your wait time.

Have you ridden Avatar Flight of Passage? What would you give it on a scale of 1 to 10?

A beautiful clear day at Iceland's Ice Lagoon to check out its ghostly procession of luminous blue icebergs.

Hi there! 👋 If we have not spoken before, I'm glad you have joined my page where I love to discuss luxury vacations with Disney and other family friendly destinations, where parents and kids can feel like royalty! 👑

You possibly don't know much about me so I wanted to introduce myself to you.

Hi! 😊 I'm Lissa Ryan with Kingdom Destinations and I love musicals!

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved listening to Disney music on my record player ...because back in the "olden" days, we didn't have VCRs to watch Disney movies all day long 😆. Some of my favorite musicals as a child were Annie, Peter Pan, Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. I'll never forget when my parents surprised me with front row seats to see Annie on Broadway - it was the happiest day of my 8 year old life!

My husband and I share our love of musicals together and we try to see at least 1 or 2 shows a year. My favorite musical of all-time is Phantom of the Opera! 🎭 We even incorporated the music into our wedding ceremony.

Some other favorites of mine include Les Miserables, Wicked, Jersey Boys and Hamilton (which I currently can't stop watching on Disney+!) My favorite all-time Disney musical is Frozen and I was so sad to hear it closed on Broadway during the pandemic.

Do you love musicals like me? Which are your favorites?

August 31st already? Where did your summer go? :)

Little visited and largely unknown, the Bisti Badlands is an amazingly scenic and colorful expanse of undulating mounds and unusual eroded rocks. It's hidden away in New Mexico's high desert in the northwest. Interested in a little adventure?

It's the end of summer but today let's celebrate National Beach Day!

I believe a day at the beach is better than any type of therapy.

Let's see YOUR beach photos in the comments below.
