All Star Movies Fantasia Pool Receives New Seating

All Star Movies Fantasia Pool Receives New Seating

One of our favorite pastimes is to sit, or nap, by the pool during a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort.  Whether sitting, or napping is your thing, an important factor is to have the right chair.  The All Star Movies Fantasia Pool area received all new chairs over the weekend.

As we walked by the Fantasia Pool early Saturday morning, we noticed a flurry of activity poolside.  We observed as new chairs were brought in to replace the old ones.  Sun-Lovers rejoice!  While the chairs are not necessarily different in looks, they seem a bit lighter and easier to move.  So when the sun moves, and you need to turn your chair to follow the sun, these new chairs are a bit easier to maneuver and do not make that loud metal-to-concrete sound that startles birds, people and lizards alike!

Now if we could just convince the sun to make its appearance at the Walt Disney World Resort this weekend…..

Is Hollywood Studios About To Get A Name Change?

Is Hollywood Studios About To Get A Name Change?

Anyone who has been paying any attention knows that Hollywood Studios has been going through some major changes. Disney’s third gate has been suffering from an identity crisis for many years now. It first opened as a working production studio and tourist attraction but after the sound stages began to sit empty it eventually migrated to a concept that honored the world of film from all eras.

With the loss of many major attractions inside the park including The Great Movie Ride, Studios Backlot Tour, Magic of Disney Animation and the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show many guests complained of the lack of clear focus throughout the park.

Next year ushers in the beginning of a new era for the struggling park. Toy Story Land will open next summer in 2018 with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge following close on its heels in 2019. With these changes it only makes sense that Disney would be looking for a new retheming of the park and with it, a new name.

Brayden from the YouTube channel called Mickey Views has discovered a focus group survey that supports the rumor of a name change coming to Hollywood Studios! Bryaden has also been so kind as to provide us with some amazing high res photos of the focus group survey!

Is Hollywood Studios About To Get A Name Change?

It appears a new survey is being sent out by Disney Parks Survey that gives a clue as to the new direction the park is going to head in. From the description it looks like there is a turn from simply honoring the world of film to actually jumping inside the storylines and participating in the movies that we know and love.

Is Hollywood Studios About To Get A Name Change?

The survey then goes on to ask the guest to rank the top 5 of the suggested new names for the park. Choices include:

  • Disney Kaleidoscope Park
  • Disney Storyverse Park
  • Disney Hyperia Park
  • Disney Beyond Park
  • Disney Cinemagic Park
  • Disney Legends Park
  • Disney XL Park
  • Disney Cinemagine Park

These new names would take the identity of the park away from the Golden Age of Hollywood to a theme focused more on the story lines of the movies themselves.

It even appears the names Disney Storyverse Park and Disney Beyond Park may be gaining traction.

Hocus Pocus Halloween Merchandise Recalled Before First Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Hocus Pocus Halloween Merchandise Recalled Before First Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

When it comes to Halloween merchandise at Walt Disney World, a huge fan favorite every year is the exclusive Hocus Pocus themed merchandise available exclusively to guests at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

With the first party taking place last night (August 25th), many Disney fans were dying to get their hands on some of this year’s amazing merchandise featuring the much-loved Sanderson Sisters.  However, the pins, the shirts, the totes, the Magic Bands and any other bit of merchandise featuring this trio were notably absent. This left many party guests wondering what happened.

The news we are hearing from Disney insiders is that the merchandise simply did not show up in time for the first party.  In addition, sources are suggesting it may not be available at all.   Word on the street is that there is actually a legal/copyright issue with the items meaning that they may never be available for distribution.   At the moment this is just speculation as we await official word from Disney on the matter.

 

Those looking to get their hands on the Hocus Pocus merchandise are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co for the latest Halloween Party news and updates.  In the meantime, you can still celebrate Hocus Pocus with the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular held on party nights.

Casual but Fashionable Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch

Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch

When I’m not relaxing away on a Disney vacay, I’m always wondering “what time is it?”. Even if I have my phone around to tell me, I still love a watch, and I glance at my wrist even if I’m not wearing one. Of course a Disney watch like this Mickey Mouse Wrist WatchCasual but Fashionable Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch will make me smile when ever I look to see the time.

Casual but Fashionable Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch

What I love about this watch is the chic style, that still has Mickey but isn’t overly cartoonish. It has a leather band that you can adjust to fit your wrist, and a sleek Mickey icon silhouette in a clear setting. Small rhinestones mark each hour and compliment the silver tone accents. You can get it in a sassy pink, or a darling black color choice.

Would you wear this gorgeous Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch to keep track of the time?
