Hi all, To begin with today, Walt Disney World are going to be hosting a series of DVC promotional events, and characters will be present! More information can be found on the Forum here. Staying in WDW, for the 4th of July the patriotic Mickey, Goofy and Donald as seen in previous years are set to make appearances at the American Adventure. Jumping across the world to Hong Kong, and we have heard that the Glow in the Dark Halloween parade will be returning once again. It looks really neat, and we hope we can see it some day! The park runs it during the evenings of October as an additional parade, without having to buy special tickets (unlike the US parks). Staying with Halloween, and flying back to the US, Disneyland Resort today put their Mickey's Halloween Treat tickets on general sale. We already have ours (Loren booked them when they went on sale to AP holders!), and will be attending two in mid-October - and we can't wait! It will be our first time to Halloween in California (having done Paris and Florida multiple times the last few years). Finally in Paris, I heard from a friend that Darth Vader and Chewbacca are going to be making appearances again throughout the summer as part of the Magical Moments Festival. They previously appeared for the last three months of last year, but disappeared in January. Ok, that's all for now, Dan. |

Hi all, Just some updates regarding news I already brought you earlier in the week. The new Redwood Creek area in DCA has opened, with Russell and Dug are now meeting there. There is a mini-show for the kids as well as the meet 'n' greet. This post on MiceChat has all the details (and I'm sure Loren will post something to the forum after the weekend!) Over in Florida, I had mentioned that some new villains may appear in WDW this year. Our Facebook friends seem to think that Hades might return, but as a face character, which would be interesting. There has been suggestion that Shan Yu might appear too, but as always, these things are not confirmed as yet (though we DO know three new villains will appear - it's just the who!) Finally, I also saw from a friend that he heard Gaston may appear in the New Fanatasyland once it opens with the new Beauty and the Beast area. Gaston appears for meets fairly often in DLP, but has not been seen anywhere else in many, many years. I think that's all for now. I'm sure I'll remember something later and wish I had posted it! Dan. |

Hi all, It has been a while since I updated properly here, but as you all know we have been away on a mega trip to DLP and DL CA! As I stated earlier in the week, we have been working hard to get as much new content from the trip up as possible, but it takes time. There hasn't been too much news since we went away, but here is a round-up of what I have heard.  [ Read More... ] |

When his parents were shipwrecked off a remote part of the African coast, they forged a home from the ruins; but Tarzan’s Swiss Family style life was not meant to be for long. With his parents killed by Sabor, the blood thirsty leopard, baby Tarzan cries out. His cries are heard by the kindly gorilla, Kala. Kala comes to the rescue of Tarzan, and manages to outwit Sabor – for the time being.  [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, Just to let you know that we have not forgotten about the site, we have just been extremely busy since returning from our trip last week. We have been slowly adding new content to the site, and more photos, but it has been a long process so far. As always you can find the latest additions by looking at the side panels here on the blog. I promise that some more major updates and new entries on the blog will be coming soon, but it may be another day or two, so just hang in there! Thank you all for your continued support as always, we really appreciate the kind feedback we receive on an almost daily basis! Dan. |

Hi all, Today I updated the calendar to reflect a number of changes to our plans. Our August trip to DLP has now been greatly reduced - but it has been in favour of something very special - we are going to Hong Kong next month!! We are really excited to have this opportunity now, and cannot wait to see all the amazing things the newest Disney Park has to offer - the ONLY one Jon and I haven't been to yet! It will mean we actually would have visited all the Parks around the world in less than a year, which is quite the feat! Ok, that's all for now! Dan :) |

In order to bring the most up to date and accurate information to the site, I of course spend a lot of time searching the Internet and looking for anything to do with the characters. In my cyberspace travels I often come across a lot of old things that I find really neat and interesting. I never post any of these things on the blog as I usually try to keep the blog current, but I felt maybe I should start to share some of my past findings with you.
Today's Blast From the Past is going to be to Disney Afternoon Avenue in Disneyland California.  [ Read More... ] |
