Hi all,
Today sees the official launch of the Magic Moments Festival
in Disneyland Paris. Of course over the last week or so we have already seen
previews and soft openings of the shows, parade and new character locations,
but I thought it was worth mentioning anyway. I did tell you that f I came up
with a picture of the pink princess tent that has appeared in Fantasyland, I would
post it. And I have! The Disney and More Blog posted an article about the press
weekend, and although most of the information is not new (I have talked about
all of it over the last week), if you scroll down you will see two pictures of
the temporary location (just there while they complete the new location at the
old Small World exit area). [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Friday night saw a special preview event at Disneyland Paris
for the new Magical Moments Festival, due to start in less than weeks at the
Resort. The event consisted of special previews of the brand new hub show, and
the Disney Dance Express (the latest incarnation of the Character Express/Casey
Jr). [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, Last week saw the opening of a new Cars meet ‘n’ greet location in California Adventure. McQueen and Mater have relocated near the ever-progressing Cars Land, and have brand new backdrops. Some pictures were posted on Twitter here and here. The eagle eyed among you might notice some slight bodywork changes too, something that I mentioned earlier last week was due to happen in Florida, too. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
Monday was of course Valentine’s Day, and I had already posted about the scaled back events at DLP this year, and the surprise appearances by two princes in EPCOT at WDW, but over in California, there were more surprises!
In a welcome, but unusual move for the usually character-lacking resort, Disneyland put out Prince Eric, Prince Naveen, The Beast, Prince Charming and Prince Phillip on the special day, along with their princesses, of course. They appeared intermittently switching out in Princess Fantasy Faire in Fantasyland. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
This week has a been a bit quiet on the Character news front, with two small exceptions.
Drew on WDWMagic reports that Angel may start appearing with Stitch over at the Animal Kingdom, in place of Lilo. Lilo and Stitch currently meet on Discovery Island near Pizzafari and the entrance to Camp Minnie-Mickey. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all,
This week sees some character changes over at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Previously I had reported on the rumours that the Fairies, once evicted from Pixie Hollow, would appear at Epcot for Flower and Garden Festival. This seemed to be what all the blogs were reporting, until yesterday when wdwmagic.com reported that the Fairies would make an instant transition over from Toontown when it closes on February 11th, to Epcot on February 12th to begin meeting.

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 :) |

Hi all,
So as the New Year dawns, and a new
decade, we have some changes to start 2011 with.
This month sees the start of the
"Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun!" parade in Disney's Hollywood Studios,
on the 16th. This "new" parade is a modified version of Block Party
Bash with the addition of characters from Up and Ratatouille, as well
as removing the interactive show stops. [ Read More... ] |
