Yes, the most important thing about the headine is Village People:<br />

The 20th annual festival, which runs March 6 to May 19, will add special food kiosks in World Showcase and add the Village People to its Flower Power concert series for the first time.<br />

I have some guarded excitement over the Disney purchase of Lucasfilms. I really believe we could easily see a whole new theme park in the not to distance future based on Star Wars...but hey, could we maybe scrap AvatarLand and put a nice Indiana Jones feature or two in Animal Kingdom?<br />

The Bistro de Paris was one of the more formal and pricy options in Epcot. In the transition for a less formal restaurant concept, the waiters also will no longer wear tuxedos.<br />

<blockquote>While it hasn't opened officially, <a href="http://www.wesh.com/r/30659491/detail.html">the first part of New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom</a> welcomed guests Monday morning in an apparent soft opening.<br />
<br />
Disney fans tweeted their excitement Monday morning as Storybook Circus let visitors in for the first time. Click Like For Disney World News Updates: It's common practice for theme parks to host unannounced "soft openings" to test new areas before any official grand opening. Hours and attraction operations never are guaranteed during soft openings, so while Twitter users reported the opening Monday morning, that could change at any time. In short, operations are in Disney's hands as it moves toward grand opening.</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456078933146510851.post-63366970466257153052012-03-06T06:51:00.000-05:002012-03-06T06:51:18.434-05:00RIP Robert ShermanDisney song writing legend <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/309724/20120306/robert-sherman.htm">Robert Sherman</a> passed away Monday at the age of 86.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456078933146510851.post-20379043747205308492012-02-20T12:50:00.000-05:002012-02-20T12:51:24.013-05:00Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMtVT42I8ctNF-0AUeeeJNhUAgw0mrs9npkNkFEDBkmcSuKPvHRfDMyoXICw3zhN1psXLHV0gxf1Un1gGOQzNOMraFNnQwFEB0c21zP9dk1mS7GiHpyZpw3ovUru49ynoSB0cJcIhZqQ0/s1600/photo-784014.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMtVT42I8ctNF-0AUeeeJNhUAgw0mrs9npkNkFEDBkmcSuKPvHRfDMyoXICw3zhN1psXLHV0gxf1Un1gGOQzNOMraFNnQwFEB0c21zP9dk1mS7GiHpyZpw3ovUru49ynoSB0cJcIhZqQ0/s320/photo-784014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711276931666090210" /></a></p>Got to play the new interactive game at Magic Kingdom last night. We got mixed reviews from our party where one enjoyed the interactivity of Kim Possible (where things moved) over the video screen only Sorcerers while our youngest son enjoyed Sorcerers more. Good to have both I say.

<br />
<blockquote><a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/news/Theme_Parks_Attractions/Disney_s_Kilimanjaro_Safaris_loses_poaching_storyline.htm?utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=twitterfeed">Changes are coming this fall to Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom</a>. This attraction takes guests on a safari ride through a 100-acre savannah full of free-roaming animals. It is a guest favorite, who love seeing the 34 species of animals. This spring, the poaching storyline in the ride will be removed, by taking out the "Little Red" audio-animatronic elephant who has been captured by poachers. A new savannah area will be created here instead and have a watering hole for zebra, who aren't often seen on the Safaris because of their location. Work will begin in March and will be done by fall. The attraction will not close during this refurbishment. </blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456078933146510851.post-84238147986158296112012-02-07T10:40:00.000-05:002012-02-07T10:40:47.970-05:00Fast Pass changes coming?Sounds like March 7, 2012 may be the day one of my <a href="http://www.everythingwdisneyworld.com/2012/02/are-changes-coming-to-walt-disney.html?spref=fb">most used fast pass strategies come to an end</a>.<br />
<blockquote>Our good friends at Touringplans are reporting that cast members at Walt Disney World Resort have been informed that beginning March 7, 2012, return times on Fastpasses will be enforced for all guests. Whereas in the pasts, guests could get a Fastpass for a scheduled return time and then save it for later in the day (so long as it was used the same day), guests using a Fastpass will reportedly be given only a small window in which to use the pass. Guests will be allowed to present the Fastpass 5 minutes prior to or up to 15 minutes after, the return time printed on the ticket. Guests presenting Fastpasses after this time will be denied admittance.</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456078933146510851.post-45237654792168642822012-02-03T17:26:00.000-05:002012-02-03T17:26:18.572-05:00Patricia Disney diesFormer wife of Roy E. Disney, <a href="http://www.welovepatty.com">Patty Disney</a>, has passed away. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>Patty was a vibrant, intelligent, witty, well read independant soul who devoted her entire life to supporting her husband Roy in everything that he did. She sailed with him and when she stopped crewing on the races she met him on every dock he sailed to. Together they traveled the world. With Stanley Gold they built their empire. Patty was happiest when at Coolmain Castle in Ireland, her refuge from the world. <br />
<br />
Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2006, she slipped into the clutches of Alzheimer's Disease without losing her sense of humor.</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456078933146510851.post-31191924895268501712012-02-01T14:11:00.000-05:002012-02-01T14:11:00.710-05:00John Carter for passholdersHey annual passholders...here's a little treat for you on March 3 & 4. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNjkyOTI5MDA0Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTU3NzExNw@@._V1._SY317_CR0,0,214,317_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="317" width="214" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNjkyOTI5MDA0Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTU3NzExNw@@._V1._SY317_CR0,0,214,317_.jpg" /></a></div><br />
