A Night in New Orleans
New Orleans Square has just about all the charm a person could hope to handle in an evening. Late at night, when the crowds from Fantasmic! have cleared, you can stroll down alleyways you have all to yourself. You may not be able to grab a bite at the Bayou, but you're likely to find a few well fed patrons making their way from Club 33. We like to take times like these, when you have a spot in the Park all to yourself, to dream and recharge. About the only thing that could make it any better is if you could still grab a mint julep and listen to some jazz.

Sneak Peak
Who doesn't like a sneak peak of what's to come? Or in this case, a hint of what tomorrow's triple post will be. If you aren't familiar with the name Mary Costa, you are probably still familiar with her voice. She played Sleeping Beauty. We have a great little story about Mary for you tomorrow, and that joint post by your friendly tour guides will be dedicated to her.
Daily Photo Tour - Mlle. Antoinette's Parfumerie
Mlle. Antoinette's Parfumerie is full of rich history. It was after a fond experience in a quaint parfumerie that Lillian Disney mentioned to Walt that she would like to see something similar placed in New Orleans Square. And so Walt did and dedicated it to her. The beautiful floral artwork was done by Glendra von Tessel, a baroness who painted these butterflies and lilies specially for Lillian Disney. But this is only part of this shop's story. If you take a moment to visit this boutique and have the opportunity to meet Lauren or Debbie, two amazing cast members, they will share in depth just how special this place is and you'll find yourself intoxicated by much more than perfume.
