Happy 13th Anniversary Lilo and Stitch!
DisneyDan  Tuesday, June 16, 2015 3:21:46 PM
Today is the 13th anniversary of the premier of Disney's 42nd animated classic, Lilo & Stitch.

Stitch is one of our most favourite characters to see at the Disney Parks around the world, and we have enjoyed having many adventures with him and his friends over the past thirteen years. Let's take a look at some of our favourite moments from our photos.

Happy 13th Anniversary to Lilo, Stitch and all their friends!

Happy 13th Anniversary Walt Disney Studios Park!
DisneyDan  Monday, March 16, 2015 9:25:59 AM
Today is the 13th anniversary of the grand opening of the Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris. In the past the park has often been criticised for lacking any good, solid attractions and shows, however, time has been good to the park, and with the addition of the Ratatouille attraction last year, the park has now really started to come into its own. With 18 full attractions and permanent long-term shows - six of which are completely unique to the park! - it actually currently has more attractions and permanent shows than Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Epcot or Disney's Hollywood Studios. While you can argue that those parks have a lot more non-fixed entertainment and good dining options, it is undeniable that the Walt Disney Studios is, finally, stepping up its game. The new Ratatouille attraction has become one of my favourites in the whole Disney Parks world, and I hope that it is a sign of the many good things to come over the next 13 years.

In our usual style, I'm going to share a cavalcade of photos from our many adventures at the park.

Happy 13th anniversary Walt Disney Studios Park!

Happy 13th Anniversary Tokyo DisneySea!
DisneyDan  Thursday, September 4, 2014 7:08:36 AM
Today, 4th September, is the 13th anniversary of the grand opening of Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan.

Extravagant, incredibly detailed, beautifully themed and elaborately decorated, Tokyo DisneySea set a new bar in theme park design, becoming an instant hit with not just the Japanese, but world over. Last year alone, Tokyo DisneySea attracted over 14 million visitors, making it the 4th most visited theme park in the world.

Its seven themed ports offer an incredible array of attractions, stores, dining venues and experiences that are all amazing in their own individual ways. We have been fortunate enough to visit Tokyo DisneySea numerous times over the years, most recently in May of this year, which of course means we have taken many, many photos there!

In my usual style, I want to share with you a selection of our photos from our various trips (below).

Happy 13th anniversary Tokyo DisneySea!

Happy Birthday Beauty & the Beast, Fantasia and (Belated Birthday) Toy Story 2!
DisneyDan  Tuesday, November 13, 2012 11:58:50 AM
Today is the 21st anniversary of the premier of Disney's masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast.
Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney's most successful and best loved films. It stars some of the most cherished characters and features classic songs that are truly timeless.
Happy 21st Birthday Belle, Prince Adam (Beast), Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs Potts, Chip, Babette and Gaston!

Today is also the 72nd anniversary of the release of Walt Disney's masterpiece, Fantasia. I find it hard to believe that it was 72 years ago that Mickey Mouse was immortalised as the Sorcerer's Apprentice and we were first introduced to Hyacinth Hippo, the Mushrooms, the Elephants, the Brooms and Mme Upanova for the first time! (yes, they have all been characters at the parks!)
Happy Birthday Hyacinth, the Mushrooms, the Elephants, the Brooms and Mme Upanova!

Finally, yesterday was the 13th anniversary anniversary of Toy Story 2, which saw the birth of two characters - Jessie and the especially cute and innocent Bullseye.
Happy Birthday Bullseye and Jessie!

As always, we have a special photo cavalcade, and seeing as today is a triple celebration there are a lot of pictures, so enjoy!
