Hello everyone,
Today is the 87th birthday of the two most famous mice in the world, Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
On 18th November 1928, Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie debuted to the public, and stars were born.
Without Mickey and Minnie, we wouldn't have the Disney company that we have today. For that we are eternally grateful to Walt Disney, and of course Mickey and Minnie, and look forward to many more decades of fun and laughter with them.
Happy 87th Birthday Mickey and Minnie!
In our usual style, here is a photo cavalcade of some [ Read More... ] |

Hello everyone,
Today is the 69th annviersary of the premiere of Disney's Song of the South. A film that has caused controversy over the years, Song of the South is not one that readily celebrated, however, the characters do appear at the Disney parks around the world. We love to meet the Brers, and so in my usual style, I thought I would share some of our favourite moments with them, [ Read More... ] |

Hello everyone,
Continuing with our Character A to Z, today we feature four characters from the Star Wars universe, that all star with 'A'; Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Asajj Ventress and Aurra Sing. All four of these characters have previously featured exclusively at Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Sadly, earlier this week, Disney announced that Star Wars Weekends would no longer be featured at the park, and therefore 2015 was retrospectively the last year that (probably) all of these characters would come across the galaxy for a visit.
Let's take a look at each of them in turn. [ Read More... ] |

Hello everyone,
Today the Disney Parks Blog announced that in preparation for the brand new 14 acre Star Wars Land coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, Star Wars Weekends would no longer be presented, making this past year retrospectively the last one. This is quite a blow for the park, and Star Wars Weekends will be desperately missed by pretty much everyone.
In the same announcement they confirmed that the Star Wars Launch Bay - a new in-between attraction in preparation for the new land - will open on December 1st, and will feature character [ Read More... ] |

Hello everyone,
In a new series here on the blog I want to take a close-up look at all the characters Jon and I have personally seen over the years. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to go alphabetically through our main list, and so I decided to call the series 'Character A to Z'. My intention is not to provide too much text going forward, instead, really just showcasing some of our favourite moments with that character, in photos, from the Disney Parks around the world.
Obviously we have to start at the top of the list, and [ Read More... ] |

Hello everyone,
Today the Disney Parks Blog finally confirmed details of the long rumoured Club Villain event at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Taking place inside a new building that was recently constructed near the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Club Villain is a premium event, with prices set at $99 per person, including tax and gratuity. Club Villain opens on January 16th, 2016, and runs on "select nights", with no end date currently announced.
Details from the Disney Parks Blog are as follows:
"The first Club Villain will take place Jan. 16, with reservations opening today, when the mysterious Dr. Facilier is your host for the evening, welcoming guests and his friends from the “other side” to his parlor of mystical mishaps, with musical numbers and a wicked mix from his house DJ. Also stopping by to socialize are those divas of evil, Maleficent, Queen of Hearts, Cruella De Vil and the Evil Queen.
Club Villain provides a spellbinding evening to enjoy fiendish concoctions from the Potions Bar, savor culinary delights from New Orleans and beyond, meet with the villains and dance the night away."
It is currently unclear whether you'll be able to actually meet the villains there, or if they will just be present on a dance floor or stage. You would think - and hope - that for $99 per person that you would be able to meet them; but I guess we shall see in January!
To make you reservation you can call 407-939-3463, 90 days in advance.
Dan. |
