Hi all,
Friday night saw a special preview event at Disneyland Paris
for the new Magical Moments Festival, due to start in less than weeks at the
Resort. The event consisted of special previews of the brand new hub show, and
the Disney Dance Express (the latest incarnation of the Character Express/Casey
Jr). [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Today has seen a few more things come up on the character
news front, after a somewhat quiet week.
The Disney Parks Blog posted that from this weekend there is
a special Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides area set up in the
Festival Arena area at the back of Frontierland in California. As well as
merchandise, special drinks and exclusive 3D previews of the movie, Jack
Sparrow himself is said to be making appearances from time to time too. Jack
Sparrow does not get out much these days in the US parks, preferring to spend
most of his time in Tokyo and Paris! [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
So this week has been pretty quiet on the character front, but I do have a couple of things I want to mention.
Disneyland in California had some rare characters out this week for training. Check out the forum page here to see who our members reported seeing! [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Monday was of course Valentine’s Day, and I had already posted about the scaled back events at DLP this year, and the surprise appearances by two princes in EPCOT at WDW, but over in California, there were more surprises!
In a welcome, but unusual move for the usually character-lacking resort, Disneyland put out Prince Eric, Prince Naveen, The Beast, Prince Charming and Prince Phillip on the special day, along with their princesses, of course. They appeared intermittently switching out in Princess Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Two small updates for you. Earlier today Jon posted on our forums that WDW have just announced that they will be debuting Phineas and Ferb in Disney's Hollywood Studios from May in a "play and greet", near The Muppets. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
It has been a fairly quite week on the news front, but I do have a few small pieces of information for you.
First off, our friends at Characters Photos Blog were in Disneyland Paris this week and have reported that Maleficent is finally back on the Dreams of Power float after nearly a year’s absence! Last spring she was removed from the float after the performer fell from it during a live parade. It is a welcome return for Disney’s most celebrated villain – especially since currently the parade is in an abridged format due to the Fantasyland repaving. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Two things this evening for you. First off, the news on MousePlanet about Disneyland scrapping all random character meet and happenings seems to have gathered quite a lot of attention, and now the same person is reporting that it has since been shot down in flames. All I can say is thank goodness! This would have probably been one of the most damaging decisions ever taken by Disneyland Resort management, and I’m sure no-one will be suggesting that one again in a hurry! [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Yesterday I reported on the random happenings in Tokyo Disneyland, including Donald’s Funny Harmony. Since then a cavalcade of videos have made it onto YouTube, and so I have chosen this one to show you. It looks a really cute little show, and I love Sorcerer Donald! [ Read More... ] |
