Today is the 54th anniversary of the premier of Walt Disney's masterpiece, Sleeping Beauty.
Although it is thought the fairytale of Sleeping Beauty goes back even further, the first actual written account of the story was by French author Charles Perrault in the late 17th century.
Let us take a look now at the character filled magic of Sleeping Beauty at the Disney Parks and Resorts worldwide, and what better way to begin than with Charles Perrault himself (as featured at Disneyland Paris in 2011). [ Read More... ] |

Today is the 51st anniversary of Disney's 17th animated classic, 101 Dalmatians.
Sadly the only character to ever have real representation in the parks is the villainous Cruella de Vil.
Her bumbling henchmen did briefly make appearances during the Disney Cinema Parade in Paris some years ago, but haven't been seen in a very long time.
But, nonetheless, let's celebrate as we always do, by taking a look at some of Cruella's highlights from her appearances in the parks.

Hi all, As you know, yesterday was Disneyland's 56th Birthday. To celebrate the occasion at 2.30pm in Town Square they played Walt Disney's opening day speech, and a whole host of characters sprang from the backstage exits to fill the street with no less than 69 characters (that I could count!). Our friend Mr Daps was there, and has all the pictures and video from the special moment here. Hopefully some year we will go on the Birthday day itself and see a similar fantastical array of characters! I did hear that also a short while later throughout the park, some of the characters came out to greet their fans. I saw pictures of the Princesses and Princes who were out near the Castle. Anyone catch anyone else? Hit the Discuss button to go to the forum and let us know! Ok that's all for now, Dan :) |

Hi all,
When I looked at my calendar this week I totally missed the fact that it had been Disney's Hollywood Studios birthday, so I apologise for this late post! Hollywood Studios opened this week in 1989.
Also, today is Norway at EPCOT's birthday, opening in 1988.
Here are two images from Hollywood Studios to celebrate, followed by two Norway ones :) [ Read More... ] |
