From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
Any trip to Disney World is wonderful, but accompanying a small child, especially one who has never been to the enchanting place, can be especially gratifying. Have you ever had the chance to see the pure joy that a youngster radiates riding Dumbo or Peter Pan's Flight for the first time? It's quite an experience for both the child -- and the adult.

It's a Kid's World After All
In addition to Peter Pan and Dumbo, find out which attractions are among the best throughout the resort in my new rundown of the Top Ten Disney World Rides for Young Kids.

My New BFF: Crush- New Video
Throughout my crazy career as a theme park journalist, I've had the good fortune to speak with some of the industry's heaviest hitters, including Disney's Marty Sklar (who worked alongside Walt Disney), Universal's Thierry Coup (who had a major hand in designing Spider-Man and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter), and Disney Imagineer extraordinaire Tony Baxter. With all due respect to these and others whom I've interviewed, my best "get" happened recently while I was on assignment producing videos at Walt Disney World. I got to chat with (drum roll...) Crush, of Finding Nemo fame. It was quite an awesome experience talking with the famous surfer dude.

You can see an excerpt of the interview in About.com's latest Theme Parks video (unfortunately, I'm in the dark in the shot; you'll have to take my word that it is, in fact, me talking to Crush) about the best attractions for little kids at Disney World. I rank Turtle Talk with Crush as one of the five top attractions. See what else made the cut in the video.
