If you’ve paid a visit to the parks recently you’ve probably noticed a change at the gates. At the end of last year Disney World began offering special express entrance gates reserved solely for Annual Passholders. The entrances can be found at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot.
Though the initial word-on-the-street was that Disney only planned on offering this special Passholder perk until New Year’s, it now seems like they’re here to stay at least for a little while longer.
Several sources are now reporting that these entrance gates will be available for Passholders at least until May. So if you’re heading to Walt Disney World in the weeks ahead and are the proud owner of an Annual Pass then there’s no need to wait with the heaving masses. Annual Passholders must still go through the main security checkpoints. However, after you’ve gone through security look for the red signs with the Mickey Mouse image (pictured) that will lead you to you special entry point.
For the latest updates on this special Passholder perk and more, Passholders should refer to the Mickey Monitor Annual Passholder newsletter.

Walt Disney World has announced that the Once Upon a Time castle projection show will be under refurbishment starting tomorrow through March 9. The Wishes fireworks show will continue to run during that time.
The reason for the Once Upon Time Refurbishment is not known but it is speculated to be related to preparations for the upcoming “Happily Ever After” nighttime spectacular which is being described as featuring “state of the art projection mapping technology.” It may be Disney is taking this time to upgrade the projection equipment. The new show is scheduled to debut May 12.
Once Upon a Time debuted in November 2016 and is based on a similar show at Tokyo Disneyland. The first projection mapping show at Cinderella Castle was “The Magic, The Memories, and You” and premiered in 2011.
Have you had the opportunity to see the “Once Upon a Time” show yet? Let me know in the comment box below.

A few days ago I was excited to report and share “New Tangled Photo Pass Experience at Magic Kingdom” . Disney Photo Pass photographers are offering a new experience with Magic Shots in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom. This new photo opportunity recreates the scene in ‘Tangled’ where Flynn Rider and Rapunzel are in a small boat watching thousands of lanterns floating magically overhead. What we didn’t know a few days ago is that this magical experience is only available for a limited time and time is running out. ‘ Tangled’ fans only have until March 15th to capture a picture of themselves holding one of the iconic “floating lights”.
Have you already been to Fantasyland and had your picture taken with the “floating lights”? If so please share Chip and Co. would love to see it.

If you read my review you’d know I absolutely loved Marvel’s “Doctor Strange”. I don’t know anyone who didn’t enjoy it. So, of course I was going to get the Blu-Ray, even if I didn’t get it to review.
Not only is Doctor Strange a must own film, the bonus features are well worth having it.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Featurettes – This can be watched in one stretch as a longer featurette, or in its chapters. Which is how I watched it: A Strange Transformation – This short film is a behind the scenes over view of every aspect that went into taking the doctor from the pages of the Stan Lee comic to the action packed visually stunning film. Fun tid-bit I found out, Benedict Cumberbatch went directly from a stage production of ‘Hamlet’ to filming in Nepal without even one day off!
Here’s some concept art from the film:
Strange Company – This short focuses on the incredible cast that was put together for “Doctor Strange” Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton and the talent director Scott Derrickson that lead the team.
The Fabric Of Reality – This featurette focuses on everything tangible that made “Doctor Strange” so believable, but so fantastical. The costume design, set and production design, and the real life sets in Nepal and New York.
Here’s some costume art:
Across Time And Space – This is all about the fighting masters that put together the crazy fight scenes – including a dance choreographer who came up with the hand and finger movements that became the magical movements. Also included in this short, the unbelievable visual effects (VFX) team that really made “Doctor Strange” a visual feast!
The Score-cerer Supreme – Michael Giacchino wrote the score and had complete control to tell the story and emotions of the film through it’s music and score. Button! – Always stay after the credits in a Marvel film, even when it’s the bonus features. Yet again, there’s a button! This is the making of the end tag of “Doctor Strange” featuring Chis Hemsworth as Thor. So much fun!
Marvel Studios Phase 3 Exclusive Look:
This short begins at the 2006 Comic Con where Producer Kevin Feige mentions to the audience Marvel’s plan to tell the Avengers story. It goes on to get more in depth about the Marvel universe and specifically the next handful of films on the docket, leading up to the Infinity Wars. This is a must watch for all Marvel fans.
Team Thor 2:
The God of Thunder is back and living in Australia with his roommate Darryl. The further adventures of Team Thor.
Deleted Scenes:
As most movies go, there are some scenes that end up on the cutting room floor. Either they are cut or time, or it works against the flow of the story. Whatever the reason, they have them here included with the bonus features. There are 5 in the disc and here are some snippets of the deleted scenes.
‘Making Contact’
‘Kaecilius Searches for Answers’
And Finally the Gag Reel!
Man, I love a good gag reel. It just ends up making all these characters more real and relatable. And there’s something so fun watching Benedict Cumberbatch’s thumbs talking to each other.
Doctor Strange is a wonderfully fun and visually fantastical film. The bonus features sure do make the Blu-Ray worth owning. I highly recommend getting out and picking up this Blu-Ray right now to add to your collection.
Today Disney revealed yet another exclusive clip from the soon to be released live-action remake of the classic “Beauty and the Beast” on the very first episode of their new YouTube channel “The Oh My Disney Show”. The clip features Emily Watson as Belle meeting Lumiere (Ewan McGregor) and Cogsworth (Ian McKellen) for the first time. There are lots of firsts here!
“The Oh My Disney Show,” hosted by social media star Alexys Gabriell promises to be the one-stop destination for Disney fans – featuring celebrity guests, Disney news, original songs and more.
In addition to the clip reveal, the first episode features:
● Auli’i Carvalho (the voice of Moana) reading a touching “Letter To My Younger Self,” on the heels of her show-stopping Oscars performance with Lin Manuel Miranda this past weekend.
● A sneak peek inside Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade — the food, the lights and the action!
● Alexys welcomes the show’s first guest, Liv and Maddie star Joey Bragg, as they participate in hilarious challenges, trivia and dance off in a giant Baymax inflatable suit.
“The Oh My Disney Show” will post a new episode on it’s YouTube channel every other Friday. Oh My Disney will also release exclusive clips, behind-the-scenes content and social content across Disney’s digital media network on Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram between episodes.
Although there is a swirl of brand new merchandise for the Live Action Beauty and the Beast film right now, I still love the classic animation. This handmade Beauty and the Beast Hipster Purse by whmsy beautifully captures the tale as old as time that stole my heart when I was a child.
These hand sewn cross-body bags have become some of my favorite purses ever. They are lightweight, durable, comfortable to wear and have totally adorable designs! They have a long strap, and lots of pockets which also make them incredible purses to bring to the parks. There is plenty of room for everything, and you can simply sling it over your shoulder. You can also get matching coin purses in most of the designs, which I love for coordinating. They even make a great accessory for Disneyboudning! You can check out the gorgeous new Beauty and the Beast Hipster Purse and also their other designs below!
A live stream of the Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland Park will be available on Tuesday, March 7 at 8:55pm PT as part of the #DisneyParksLIVE series. Check back on Tuesday for a link to the live stream that will be presented on the Disney Parks Blog.
Twenty years since it last glowed down Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland park, this “spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination” has returned for an encore engagement through June 18. The quintessential Disney Parks nighttime parade, Main Street Electrical Parade began at Disneyland park in 1972, shining brightly in the memories of thousands of Disneyland park guests until the end of its initial run in 1996. It returned to the Disneyland Resort as Disney’s Electrical Parade, bringing magical Disney stories to Disney California Adventure park from 2001 until 2010.
The Main Street Electrical Parade will only be on display at Disneyland Park until June 18 so be sure to catch a glimpse of it while you can!

Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) returns to the Banks home after many years and uses her magical skills to help the now grown up Michael and Jane rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives in MARY POPPINS RETURNS, directed by Rob Marshall.
Disney just released the first ever still pic of Emily Blunt as the iconic character Mary Poppins. Of course it is a little coquette-ish, with the picture taken not from the front, only revealing the side of her face. It does give more to look forward to!!
Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, “Mary Poppins Returns” also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep. The film, which introduces three new Banks children, played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson, also features Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep). The film is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca and Marc Platt. The screenplay is by David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman writing all new songs and Shaiman composing an original score.
“Mary Poppins Returns” is scheduled to be released December 25th 2018

We look forward to announcing what’s next for Cirque du Soleil.”
