A Tribute to Expo Hall
disneydan  Monday, May 30, 2011 11:42:34 PM
Earlier last month Exposition Hall (aka Expo Hall) closed it's doors for a major overhaul and reopened a little while later as Town Square Theater.
Since park opening in 1971 Expo Hall has provided inquisitive Guests with the opportunity to sit out of the intense Florida heat and watch some classic Disney cartoons on the big screen. Hidden away behind the photo centre and not well known, it was one last hidden gem in the park.  [ Read More... ]
Character News and Updates From Around the Web - New villain to come to Paris! More Monsters to appear in EPCOT and much more!

Hi all,

I have some exclusive news for you all!
I have been told by a friend and good inside source of mine that rumours within Disney suggest that a brand new villain will replace Frollo at Disneyland Paris this year for their Halloween season.  [ Read More... ]
Character News and Updates From Around the Web - Star Wars Weekends at the mall and Dumbo and Three Little Pigs to return? Plus much more!
DisneyDan  Tuesday, May 3, 2011 12:04:25 PM

Hi all,

DLRP Magic confirmed today what I already said yesterday, that Stars 'n' Cars would be made into a proper parade, running across the park. The show stops will basically be a meet 'n' greet opportunity apparently.

Over in Florida, Walt Disney World have now put on sale their Halloween and Christmas Party tickets. More information can be found on Jon's forum posts here (Halloween) and here (Christmas).

Star Wars Weekends are due to start soon, and WDW have been promoting the fantastic annual event by visiting malls across Florida. Small stages have popped up in at least four locations, and have included appearances by Jedi Mickey, C-3PO and R2-D2!

I have also heard from an inside source that Dumbo and the Three Little Pigs (Fiddler, Fifer and Practical) might be making a return once the new Fantasyland is complete. It has been suggested their costumes may be redesigned, but that is not confirmed by any means. This would be fantastic if they did! We hope this rumour comes true.

Over in Disneyland, California correspondent Loren ran the Orange County AIDS walk, and raised over $4000! Read his post here on the forum to see which amazing characters he saw along the way! Well done Loren!

Finally, as always we have been uploading huge amounts of photos to our Flickr pages, which in turn should automagically appear on their respective pages on this site. Lots of new Florida, Disney On Ice and Disneyland Paris photos should now be on many different pages. The latest images can always be seen by clicking the Most Recent tab on the main photos section of each page.

I have also updated the calendar to reflect some slight changes to our travel plans.

Ok, that's all for now,

Dan.

Hi all,

Sorry it has taken a while to get back into things this week from our trip to NYC and WDW, hence why I haven't posted anything new until now.

There isn't really any big news this week, just a few smaller items.  [ Read More... ]

Hi all!

Just to let you know we are back from our Walt Disney World trip. We had a fabulous time as always, and just want to thank all our wonderful Cast Member friends who helped us out and made it that little bit more magical.

This week I hope to start processing my photos and start getting some up on the site, as well as some updates to location pages and character greeting information, based on what we saw this trip.

Ok, that's all for now,

Dan.

Character News and Updates From Around the Web - Interesting updates from DLP entertainment dept., brand new character in WDW and much more!
DisneyDan  Wednesday, April 6, 2011 11:56:09 AM

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,

DisneyDan  Sunday, March 20, 2011 12:23:32 PM

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... ]
