Did you know that giraffes have purple tongues to protect their tongue from getting sunburnt? 🤯
We fed giraffes today at @stlzoo and it was SUCH a cool experience! My girls could not get enough of it!

What’s the Electrical Water Pageant?
It’s a nighttime show on the Seven Seas Lagoon! Lasting about 15 minutes, the pageant consists of various light up boats with different characters, accompanied by music.
If you’re staying at one of the Magic Kingdom-area resorts (Contemporary, Grand Floridian, Polynesian, or Wilderness Lodge) you may be able to see (and hear!) the pageant from your room! This view is from my room in the Contemporary tower.
Have you seen the Electrical Water Pageant? Love it or leave it?

Did you know that Richard Nixon gave his famous “I am not a crook” speech at Disney’s Contemporary Resort?
Yep, you read that right! On November 17, 1973, amidst the Watergate scandal, Nixon delivered this speech at the Contemporary. Almost 50 years ago today this piece of history happened at Walt Disney World.

I usually don’t care about views when I book trips but this theme park view may have just won me over…
What do you think? Do you usually pay extra for views or just go with a standard view room??

Have you seen this illusion before? It took about 15 seconds for it to work for me. Make sure you stare at the X and don’t move your eyes at all! Vision is SO COOL!

If I’m going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party I’m not gonna waste my precious time standing in line for candy I could go out and buy at Walmart 😂 Of course, my kid disagreed and wanted to stop at everyyyyy candy station! We compromised and hunted down the stations with little to no lines. Here’s where we got candy the quickest!
🍬 By Tron
🍬 By Big Thunder Mountain
🍬 Country Bears
🍬 Tiki Room
Those four stops were PLENTY (we’re still eating the candy two weeks later!). Do you love trick-or-treating at MNSSHP? Or do you prefer to focus on rides or other attractions?

Enchanted Tales with Belle is a must do! The kids get to each play a part in acting out a performance with Belle. It is so incredibly sweet and magical! ✨
Have you done Enchanted Tales before? What parts did your kids play?

Seriously… I was at MNSSHP a week ago and have not been able to get this out of my head since!
A lot of people use the term “earworm” to mean a song that gets stuck in your head. There is a whole field of research on earworms! But the scientific community tends to use the term “involuntary musical imagery” (INMI) to describe this phenomenon. Research on INMI has shown that earworms tend to be faster paced than songs that aren’t earworms, among other differences!
What other Disney earworms can you think of?

I was watching The Lion King with my kids the other day and this question popped into my head, and I HAD to find out the answer! I read one estimate that said Simba would need to eat nearly 25,000 bugs a day in order to survive!

When most people think of a “lab” they probably picture something very different from a psychology lab. Here’s mine! My lab studies music and the brain - we answer questions like, how does music trigger vivid memories of the past, or why can listening to a certain song bring you to tears? We use behavior, neuroimaging, and psychophysiology to answer these questions. I have an amazing team of students working in the lab too! 🤓🧠🎶
