Kids between the ages of 4 and 12, don a brown robe and pledge the Jedi Oath under the tutelage of a Jedi Master. The brilliant Star Wars fanfare stirs your spirit as you learn how to use The Force—and your wit—to wield your lightsaber. Behold how the Jedi Master hones your battle skills, for [...]
And now it’s time to say goodbye… She may be gone, but Annette Funicello will always be part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios (barring any dramatic refurbs, I guess.) I was reminded of the reference when I read of her sad passing today. There are dozens of puns and jokes throughout the preshow at the Muppet [...]
If you want to see “Disney Channel Rocks” or “Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun,” you better get yourself over to the Studios this weekend. The two shows are going to Disney Heaven – where Four 4 a Dollar, Tapestry of Nations, at least two iterations of Journey into Imagination and the Hunchback of Notre Dame [...]
The Magic, the Memories and You is dead. Long live Celebrate the Magic. The Magic, the Memories and You show is going dim, but announced yesterday that it will begin showing a new version of the Cinderella Castle projection show called Celebrate the Magic in November. Thankfully, we’ll barely have enough time to mourn this [...]

I was listening to the Hunchback soundtrack this morning and I had chills by the time the gypsy jester hit the crescendo at the end of the main theme. The swelling choir and orchestration [...]
As the father of a youngster with food allergies, I’ve never been anything less than impressed with the way Disney handles dietary restrictions. Now, Disney is testing new ways to help families with food allergies to be aware and safe when dining at the World. Our daughter, Katie, is allergic to eggs and nuts of [...]
I never get tired of these. “The Wigles were surprised with a video of patriarch Matt Wigle wishing Jill good luck in the competition all the way from his station in Kabul, Afghanistan. But the real magic happened after that clip ended … see for yourself!” And since I just grabbed it off the Disney [...]
