Soccer Player Neymar Kicks off Mickey 90 Mouse Party

Soccer player Neymar kicked off Disneyland Paris “Mickey 90 Mouse Party!” The Brazillian and Paris Saint Germain soccer star and his girlfriend Bruna Marquezine partied the weekend away to kick off the start of Mickey’s 90th celebration at Disneyland Paris. The couple took pics with Mickey himself and had a romantic stroll down Main Street U.S.A. in style.

Mickey even got an autograph from Neymar on his glove before they said their goodbyes. The couple enjoyed their weekend taking in the sites and riding the Parisian attraction Ratatouille: The Adventure. Ratatouille is a 4D experience where Remy and friends have cooked up a delicious storm. But it’s not long before they and you are discovered by Chef Skinner, who chases you through the sights, sounds, and smells of Gusteau’s famous Parisian restaurant.

The previous day, the Paris Saint Germain star striker led his team to victory (two goals) during the match against the OGC Nice team! The Paris Saint-Germain soccer team officially signed Neymar to a 5-year playing contract, making Neymar the highest paid soccer player of all time. The 25-year-old superstar has deals with major shoe and clothing brands, and EA Sports, to name a few. It’s no wonder he was at the parks with his girlfriend, they obviously have great taste.

The trend-setting Edison restaurant at Disney Springs has announced its October Burger of the Month–the Triple Threat Burger.

But we see this burger as more decadent than threatening. It’s a ground pork burger served on a pretzel roll with a side of fries, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts–sliced BBQ pork and crunchy bacon. The burger is then garnished with caramelized apples. What could be better?

How about this–try pairing it with a seasonal ale, the Hallo Hooch, offered exclusively at The Edison. It’s a autumnal blend of Domaine de Canton, Cinnamon Cordial, Redemption Rye and Bailey’s Pumpkin Spice, shaken over ice and finished with ground cinnamon.

Before ordering the October burger, order one of The Edison’s amazing appetizers, like the Clothesline Candied Bacon, Fried Calamari or Electri-Fries.

The Edison is one of the newest restaurants to open at Disney Springs. It’s the perfect place for huge, hand-crafted burgers and some of the best nighttime entertainment in the area. The Edison boasts a live DJ and dance floor, an aerial contortionist, tap dancers, Burlesque dancers and more.

Magic Kingdom & Epcot Celebrate their Anniversary today!

October 1, 2018

Today celebrates both the Grand Opening of the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Today the Magic Kingdom turns 47 and Epcot turns 36.

Here are some fun facts about both theme parks you might not have known about.

Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom, the first Walt Disney World Resort theme park, debuted in 1971 – 16 years after Walt Disney’s first park, Disneyland, opened in Anaheim, Calif. Magic Kingdom Park’s blue- and gold-turreted, 18-tower icon, Cinderella Castle, rises 189 feet above the park’s 142 acres.

Following the success of Disneyland, which opened in 1955, entertainment pioneer Walt Disney (1901-66) set his sights on what he called his company’s “most exciting and challenging assignment” — the creation of a vast vacation paradise known today as Walt Disney World Resort. Walt’s dream was realized when Magic Kingdom, the first of four theme parks at the sprawling Florida site, opened Oct. 1, 1971. Walt’s older brother and lifelong business partner, Roy O. Disney, inaugurated the park. And the magic began.

Epcot

Epcot, the second Walt Disney World Resort theme park, opened Oct. 1, 1982 — 11 years after the Magic Kingdom debuted. The 305-acre park, identified by its iconic Spaceship Earth geodesic sphere, features two distinct areas.

Future World is a showcase of discovery filled with new ideas and technology, plus an exploration of planet Earth from land and sea to air and space.

World Showcase is a kaleidoscope of nations featuring architecturally authentic buildings and backdrops that celebrate their cultural heritage, arts and entertainment. The 11 nations plus an African-themed Outpost are situated along a 1.3-mile promenade encircling the 40-acre World Showcase Lagoon.

Walt Disney envisioned a showcase for innovation, a place to celebrate human achievement and where people could experience the cutting edge of technology.

On Oct. 1, 1978, Card Walker — then president of Walt Disney Productions — revealed plans for Epcot, a theme park inspired by Walt’s philosophies. A groundbreaking ceremony was held one year later and Epcot opened in 1982. The debut of Innoventions in 1994 marked an exciting addition to the Epcot experience. This evolving technology exposition gives Epcot guests an opportunity to explore the latest inventions and innovations that may change the way they live their lives.

Grand re-opening of Earl of Sandwich postponed at Disneyland. The grand re-opening of the Earl of Sandwich restaurant at Downtown Disney at Disneyland has been postponed.

The popular sandwich shop closed in June of this year, along with AMC Theaters, ESPN Zone, Rainforest Café and other venues to make room for construction of a new 700-room Disney resort hotel.
