Hi all, With the Halloween Season drawing closer, I thought I would post some hints and tips regarding the Halloween Parties at the Magic Kingdom. The Halloween parties have become rather stagnant over the last few years, with no real new characters or shows. So everything I tell you will probably still be good in ten years from now!

 | Magic Kingdom Parade Hints and Tips | |

Hi all, A few more hints and tips for you all here, regarding parades in the Magic Kingdom. To watch the night parade there is one spot that Jon and I always choose. It is facing the Castle from Liberty Square, at the bridge that goes over to the hub.
Let me show you:
There is normally a trash can right there, and you can stand right next to it to get great unobstructed views. The castle in the background not only provides a nice backdrop, but also some extra lighting into your shots in order to make them clearer and less blurry or grainy.
This is also a good spot to watch the day parade. Other good spots for both parades include right in front of the castle on the hub, facing the castle, and for the Electrical Parade, in front of the train station in Town Sq (with the station behind you). The station lights stays on during the parade, and again offers some lighting to help with those difficult night shots.
With the Electrical Parade, the second run each night is always MUCH less crowded, and is well worth staying later for to get those good shots. Dan :) |

The official Disneyland Paris website is reporting that Rapunzel will be joining the Christmas festivities this year! (Thank you to the Character Photos Blog for noticing this and posting about it!)
From the Disneyland Paris Official Site
Come and meet your favourite characters, who will be decked out in their
festive best, shake their hands and enjoy a very merry break YULE never
forget! Get tangled in a magical moment with Rapunzel, the latest
heroine from Disney Studios, who appears every day on the Royal Castle
Stage. And don’t miss out on the spectacular Mickey’s Winter Wonderland
musical, featuring a host of Disney heroes that’s a Christmust-see!
Sadly not currently listed as returning is Winnie the Pooh and Friends, too! which was also missing this summer... not sure if that means it has indeed met the same fate as several other shows recently and will not return or that it is simply not listed yet. Definitely looking forward to meeting Repunzel when we are there for Christmas season in November! Wonder if Flynn will be joining her (the princes often join their princess in DLP)... I guess we will find out! Either way, excited about this news!

 | Planning the Big One - Walt Disney World Part Two | |

Continuing my article from before...
(Click here to go back to Part One)
The Studios Park probably offers the best variation of "different" attractions and experiences, besides Animal Kingdom. Probably a day in this park is enough, with maybe that other half day being used for Epcot or Animal Kingdom.
I would recommend for sure the Great Movie Ride. Each ride is different depending on how you catch its sequence as the gun scene can happen in different places.
There are a lot of unique shows here, the best being Beauty and the Beast.
The stunt show is cool, but can be mind numbingly long. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, I have a good friend who is planning a trip to WDW for the first time in many years, later this month, and he asked me to put together some hints and tips for him. After I wrote my email to him I realised it would make a great article! So here it is - enjoy! So first off let me start by providing some really useful links that I hope will help you, and then I'll write my bit :) [ Read More... ] |

This year we have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel to four of five of the Disney Resorts across the world. Normally we try to visit at least two, or three, but this year is an exception. This summer have we been very fortunate to visit Tokyo Disney Resort for the first time, and combine it with a two part trip to Disneyland in California. How it came about is that we actually have a good friend who normally works on Florida, and for eight months this year he has had a temporary contract with Tokyo. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, Just a quick note to say we're really sorry for keeping you all waiting on the new blog posts from our trip to Tokyo, but between the thousands of pictures we took that need editing and uploading, and STILL being totally exhausted from the craziness of the trip, we have been a bit slow. We appreciate everyone's support who comes to the site, and we promise we will be making new posts soon! In the meantime, check out our Flickr pages (linked below) for all the latest pics, and click the links at the left side of this page for the latest additions to the site, which include some Tokyo locations and some new characters! Thanks! Dan and Jon :) |

Hi all, So Jon and I continue to work on our trip pics, and are gradually getting them up on our Flickr sites (links below). I have also been working on more articles to come, and promise I will be posting some soon! I am travelling the next two days though, so if they don't get posted before the weekend then please just check back later. In other Disney news, Laughing Place reports that the Mystic Manor project is rumoured to be suffering monetary problems, and sounds like that, much to our sadness, it will be massively cut back. The Disney Parks Blog today also announced more details on the new show that was mentioned a few weeks back. It replaces the current High School Musical shows that run in Disney's California Adventure Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios, and will feature songs from not just HSM, but also Camp Rock and StarStruck. The new show, titled "Disney Channel Rocks", will play at both Parks from this October. Dan :) Dan's Flickr Jon's Flickr |
