Hi all, The last couple of days saw the official launch of the brand new version of Fantasmic! at Tokyo DisneySea. It has had mixed reactions so far apparently, but does include some cool sequences. And of course much to my approval it has Stitch and Angel in it! I found this video here, but there are probably a lot more now if you search. Staying with DisneySea, I also found some pictures of the "new" (at least within the last couple of months) meet 'n' greet trails at the Lost River Delta. These are the first images I have actually seen of the new area, and I have to say it looks really neat! This Flickr user has some pictures on her stream here. This Flickr user has some pictures of a new show that replaced Over the Waves. A Table is Waiting looks just as bizarre as it's predecessor but has some interesting outfits including Chip and Dale with moustaches! Jumping over to Florida, and last week you may recall me praising WDW for actually have some themed characters in the Easter pre-parade such as Chicken Little and Clara Cluck, well today I found this picture of a brand new Azalea Trail Maid Daisy Duck! Well done Magic Kingdom for actually doing something cool for a change!! Also in Florida, Jon posted some information to the forum about Jake and Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Be sure to check it out! Finally, I heard today that from June Disney's Stars 'n' Cars at the Walt Disney Studios will no longer perform the show section, but instead will run as a proper parade right across the park! I did also hear that Angel and Mike would join the parade with their respective friends, and that there would be some form of smaller show stop more akin to the regular parade show stops from other parks. How true these last two things are I don't yet know. Jon and I have been working hard as always to get our latest trip pics up on the site, and these can be found by clicking the Flickr thumbnails to the bottom right. I have also been trying to update more character and location pages with more current information, and also added five new characters yesterday. Ok, that's all for now.

Hi all,
Sorry it has taken a while to get back into things this week from our trip to NYC and WDW, hence why I haven't posted anything new until now.
There isn't really any big news this week, just a few smaller items. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Today Disneyland Paris released a statement as to why they cancelled the parties. Basically it was because they felt that there was too much refurbishment work going on in the park at this time.
What is interesting about it, is that although the parties have been cancelled and people can have their money back, there is a small meet and greet opportunity with some princesses and pirates on the evenings that the parties were due to take place, in Disney Village in the old Hurricanes club. Apparently this is just for the ticket holders of the cancelled party nights. Although I am sure that there will not really be anyone very special there (just the princesses and maybe Jack Sparrow and some others), what is interesting is that it is in the old Hurricanes club. This closed over a year ago, and was a nightclub venue. It has never had characters before, and is now sitting empty with nothing really in it. I assume the bar and dance floor are still there... which would make this a very interesting place to meet the characters! In an old Disney nightclub!
When I find out more I'll let you all know as always.
Be sure to check out the latest Character of the Week, posted today.
Check out my tribute post to Disney's Animal Kingdom that turned 13 today.
Ok, that's all for now,
Dan

 | Character of the Week - Max Goof | |

| Max Goof is the son of the ever clumsy but lovable Goofy. Max is an only child and lives alone with his dad.
Often embarrassed by his dad, Max despairs at the thought of becoming like his father. Sometimes he finds himself laughing like his dad or sharing the same mannerisms. This is particularly evident when he is trying to impress his crush, Roxanne. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, So today I learned that Disneyland Paris have cancelled the Princesses and Pirates Parties that were due to take place over four dates in June. Jon and I were due to attend two of them - one with a group of friends on the 10th, and one alone on the 17th. I have spent 15 minutes on the telephone with DLP this morning and they gave no reason as yet, but said I would receive an automated call in the next few days to explain why. A full refund was offered for the tickets purchased, so I suggest if anyone has bought tickets, to get on the telephone to them soon. Dan. |

Hi all! Just to let you know we are back from our Walt Disney World trip. We had a fabulous time as always, and just want to thank all our wonderful Cast Member friends who helped us out and made it that little bit more magical. This week I hope to start processing my photos and start getting some up on the site, as well as some updates to location pages and character greeting information, based on what we saw this trip. Ok, that's all for now, Dan. |
