Disney Parks in California and Florida are staying closed indefinitely. They made the announcement this afternoon, after stay at home orders are still in affect for Orlando and all of California where Walt Disney World and Disneyland are located. In addition, all employees will be paid now through at least April 18th. Check out Disney's […]

Michael Eisner, former CEO of the Walt Disney Company, took to Twitter to complain about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker the other day. Why not, everyone else seems to be doing these days. In the Twitter thread, he not only claims that the film as "emotionless", but that Rey actress Daisy Ridley also lacked […]

Today at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, the main stage features a panel dedicated to the upcoming Disneyland and Walt Disney World lands, Galaxy's Edge.

We're about a month away from Star Wars Celebration Chicago, and the panel details keep on rollin' like those Ewok rocks on Endor. Today, it was the reveal of a panel all about the newly-built Star Wars lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Galaxy's Edge. According to StarWars.com, there will be a panel on Saturday April […]

We could, maybe, possibly, be getting the actual calendar dates for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opening days this week during the Disney Annual Shareholders meeting on Thursday March 7th. There has been some chatter from the usual suspects about when the opening dates will be revealed, almost everyone agrees that Star Wars Celebration in Chicago […]

Each time we hear/see any updates about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, we get a little emotional. Sure, it's silly- this is just a theme park expansion at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but….IT'S STAR WARS, and there will be a life-sized Millennium Falcon, ok?! Imagine our delight at learning we'll be able to fulfill a […]

Not only will there be a 5-part comic book series planned for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (the new Cosmic Conflict land at Disneyland and Walt Disney World), but there will be books, too! Announced just this week, there will be at least three novels released that will tell the story of Batuu, the planet where the […]

We had the pleasure of attending the annual Halloween-themed Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disneyland in Anaheim in 2018, and it was totally worth it. Apparently Walt Disney World is getting a jump on their offerings this year, as tickets for the Not So Scary Halloween event are available now for the Florida […]

Unless you've been out in the furthest reaches of the galaxy, chances are you've heard about the new Star Wars-themed parks opening at Disneyland and Disney World called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The house of mouse has confirmed plans for Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge to open in summer of 2019, and sometime in the late fall of […]

Toy Story Land is coming to Walt Disney World, and to help celebrate they have partnered with BoxLunch for a summer mall tour leading up to the opening.

During the Festival of Fantasy Parade at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World today, some… unexpected and unintentional pyrotechnics happened. Specifically, the dragon-form Maleficent float's head caught on fire during the parade. Early word is that no one (guests or cast) were hurt during the occurrence. There has not yet been a comment from the […]

Mere weeks ago, the famed Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Walt Disney World closed to undergo a facelift. The famous auction scene with the redheaded pirate was replaced with a much more family-friendly scene. But don't fear — the redheaded pirate is still there. According to Disney Parks Blog: "The pirate auctioneer now oversees a sale […]

Today is the big day! January 22nd is National Polka Dot Day, and who better to represent this day than Minnie Mouse? The queen of dots is even getting her own Hollywood Walk of Fame star, so this is truly a momentous day. Walt Disney World is celebrating with special photo ops, merch, food, and […]

The American Adventure pavilion at Walt Disney World's Epcot has a new line in their Heritage Manor shop; merchandise celebrating all 50 US states! I'm kind of surprised Disney never did this sooner. Given the complete and utter love affair the (American) Disney parks have with celebrating everything American, this would have been a logical […]

Melissa Valiquette, the vice president of Epcot, has indeed confirmed that the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride will be a roller coaster. This won't exactly be the first thrill ride for the park (Test Track is sort of a thrill ride), but it will be the first coaster for the park, which is celebrating […]

They will be appearing from 10:20 a.m.–4 p.m. during these times, so if you're a character hunter like I am, this is […]

Announced at the D23 Expo was a brand new transportation option for the Walt Disney World Resort,yes, you guessed it. We can all ride in an Uber-like service with Minnie Vans. No, they are not all vans, but they are all painted to evoke your fondest memories of Disney's best mouse. "Since we're all about […]

Another of the many shakeups happening in Walt Disney World is the closing of the Great Movie Ride, which has been a Hollywood Studios staple since well before the park was called Hollywood Studios. The Great Movie ride opened its doors for the first time on May 1, 1989. It is a guided dark ride which employs the use […]

D23, the Disney Expo that happens every two years, is happening this weekend in Anaheim, California! I was lucky enough to go in 2015, but sat this year out. However I'm sure I'll come to regret this, as pictures surfacing on Twitter look awesome. In 2015 I got to see the Ant Man costumes, but […]
