Magic Kingdom’s upcoming new Fantasyland plans are being redrawn even as the bulldozers are clearing land for the new expansion. The construction for Fantasyland has already made progress with mountains of dirt visible beyond the temporary construction walls inside Magic Kingdom. Under new Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman, Tom Staggs, designers are revising the plans, which were Continue reading Disney’s Magic Kingdom – Fantasyland Expansion Getting Even Better On June 17, 1972 at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, something magical began. The original “Main Street Electrical Parade” premiered and was held at Disneyland almost every summer until it “retired” in 1996. “Mainstreet Electrical Parade” is an array of 23 illuminated floats, more than half a million colored lights, synthesizer music, and 80 performers. A different version of the “Main Street Electrical Parade” was created Continue reading Disney’s Magic Kingdom – Electric Street Parade Ends Tomorrow I’m sure that many of you are familiar with the 16th-century modeled town and cobblestone streets of Walt Disney World’s Germany pavilion at Epcot. The castle holds a clock tower, a fountain with a statue of St. George slaying a dragon, and a variety of shops and oom-pah band music. I love the atmosphere – Continue reading Epcot – New Additions to Germany Pavilion Walt Disney World 2011 Package Pricing has been released! Guests may now book entire vacations for all of 2011. Sadly, the prices have been jacked up slightly, but it’s not unaffordable yet. Continue reading Disney World – Dining Plan Prices My family never misses the chance to attend the Epcot Candlelight Processional, held every winter at Disney’s Epcot theme park. Narrated by celebrities, the show follows the story of Jesus’s birth, accompanied by a superb mass choir singing traditional songs and a live 50-piece orchestra. Special Candlelight Processional packages will go on sale August 26th, so keep an eye out! The dinner packages include dining, Continue reading Epcot’s Candlelight Processional The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is quite the hit, and has been every year since it began. This year marks its fifteenth consecutive celebration, from October 1st to November 14th. This year looks to be even better than the previous festivals, with new countries, menu offerings, and much more! Belgium and South Korea are joining in this year, and there are new menu Continue reading Epcot – 15th International Food and Wine Festival Updated Schedule for Disney’s Magic Kingdom Meet and Greets All locations, characters, and times are subject to change. Town Square Crystal Palace Continue reading Disney’s Magic Kingdom – Meet and Greet Schedule Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade has temporarily returned for the summer, until Saturday, August 14th. It will be held nightly in the Magic Kingdom at the Disney World Resort. A beautiful classic, which was last seen at Walt Disney World from 1999 to 2001, returns for the Summer Nightastic!, led by Tinker Bell. Waving from the basket of a hot air balloon, her pixie dust Continue reading Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade As mentioned in an earlier post, Disney World has certainly been a forerunner for catering to guests with special needs- they now have special dining options, such as vegan and gluten-free, and also offer wheelchair and ECV rentals, sign language interpretation, and the new Assistive Technology Device, a handheld device to aid the visually impaired (and some hearing impaired) guests. I also mentioned the GAC, Continue reading Disney World – Guest Assistance Cards Meanwhile, Disney will be trying out a new form of waiting in line- Dumbo the Flying Elephant usually has far too long lines for such a short ride (90 seconds). Nobody wants to spend their Disney vacation waiting around in the heat, right? Along with the planned expansion of Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park’s Fantasyland area- which will add new attractions, as well as many Continue reading Disney World – Magic Kingdom Expansion |
