Hi all,

As promised here is Loren’s report from last weekend at the Fiesta Disneyland Family Fun Days.

Loren also discovered the magic of characters at Universal Studios recently, and has been visiting there fairly frequently after deciding to purchase an annual pass. So, within this report he also gives us some of his thoughts on his experiences at Universal.

Over to Loren!  [ Read More... ]

Hi all,

Earlier this week the brand new Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Dream launched in spectacular Disney style, as I reported on earlier. Since then we have learned from the Orlando Sentinel that there is at least one new show on board title the Sail Away Party. There is also a new segment added to the Golden Mickeys show (also currently plays aboard one of the other ships) starring Rapunzel, Flynn Rider and none other than Mother Gothel! This is the first time the vain and self-obsessed step mother has appeared in character form, and we look forward to seeing her in the future! I don’t currently have any pictures of these things, but if I see any, I will be sure to post them here.  [ Read More... ]

Hi all,

This week has been quite eventful for new character happenings across the parks, so let’s start with California, which rather unusually has seen a big increase in character offerings!

This weekend was the start of a series of two month long events, all under the umbrella of Family Fun Days. This weekend’s event was the Fiesta Disneyland event over at the Festival Arena in Frontierland.

Hi all,

Yesterday drew81, who is generally a very reliable and knowledgeable source on WDW Character news, posted on the wdwmagic forum that he has heard Pegleg Pete and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit will start making appearances sometime on the future - although it is unknown when at this stage.

Also in the same thread, Samuele reported that three new meet 'n' greet locations will be opening soon in the Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland, Adventureland and Frontierland.

Over in California, today saw the the launch of a new small entertainment offering involving those red PIXAR heroes, The Incredibles. It is strange because Disney seem to have kept this one very quiet, and yet it really isn't that big a deal. It is titled PIXAR Pals: Heroes in Training, and is situated over in California Adventure. It is speculated to be a small replacement for the fact the the parade cannot currently run due to the construction. Mr DAPS posted a picture of it here. You can even see a parade float in the background!

Ok, that's all for now,

Dan :)
