The name of the small city of Ocoee, for example, is pronounced oh-COE-ee for newcomers and oh-COY for natives. Now that you are ready to T

    Liberty Belle Lookout – Disney Magic Kingdom Testing Liberty Square Riverboat Scavenger Hunt

    My son, Chris, and I enjoy taking a ride back to the past aboard the Liberty Belle, the Liberty Square Riverboat.  Liberty Belle is a working reproduction of the historic vessels that ferried people up and down the mighty Mississippi. This actual working steam engine converts the water from the Rivers of America into steam that in turn powers the large paddle that propels the boat. We were pleasantly surprised this past week when we boarded Liberty Belle and learned about the
