September 12, 2016

Epcot is gearing up for their 21st annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This event is scheduled to begin this Wednesday, September 14th.

For many of us, this is an event that is highly anticipated. Currently, some of the Food & Wine Festival areas are enclosed behind green-walled fencing areas, some typical walkways are not passable as the areas are closed for festival preparations, and the kiosks are in place although closed up for the time being.

The American Gardens Theater is being set up for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series and we are eagerly anticipating seeing what the entrance to Epcot will look like this year.

Many of the areas for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival are enclosed within green fencing. Some spaces have additional green plants blocking any chance of viewing the spaces. If you happen to ride the monorail from Magic Kingdom, you can get a pretty good view of one of the larger enclosed spaces located near Club Cool.

The kiosks around the World Showcase represent a variety of countries. Each kiosk will have food, wine, and other alcoholic beverage options available for purchase. While all of the kiosks are currently closed up, we are looking forward to seeing them open when the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival begins on this Wednesday, September 14th. Plan to challenge your taste palate’s during this year’s festival.

The American Gardens Theater is also being decorated and spruced up for the coming Eat To The Beat Concert Series. Showtimes will be daily at 5:30pm, 6:45pm and 8:00pm. Be sure to check your events guide for additional live performances scheduled to take place around the World Showcase.

Top 6 Disney Springs Dining Spots

September 12, 2016

Dining at Disney World is a true foodie’s dream come true –there’s always something new and delicious to try, and one of my favorite places to eat while at WDW is Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney!). Check out my picks for Top 6 Disney Springs Dining Spots:

Sit Down Restaurants:

The Boathouse: This new restaurant is perfect for seafood lovers as well as boat enthusiasts, too – while you dine at this waterfront spot you can check out the vintage boats from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s on display. And the menu is ever-changing to allow the chefs to take advantage of the freshest seafood available! Steak, lobster, oysters, calamari, and fish tacos are all on the menu plus a TON of other options too

Wolfgang Puck Café: While this is not a “new to Disney Springs” restaurant, it is certainly a mainstay and an institution in my book! The sign has the quote “Live, Love, Eat” on it – and those are really embodied within the restaurant itself, where you can tell the innovative food is prepared with care and the freshest ingredients. Sushi lovers will really enjoy the offerings, as will pizza lovers – they serve up pies topped with Italian meats, barbeque chicken, and more. The best thing on this menu for me though is a toss-up between the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the roasted chicken entrees

Raglan Road: You can’t ever go wrong with a traditional Irish Pub – and this one delivers nothing but fantastic food in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Live Irish music and dancers keep you entertained as you wait for your food and drinks – plenty of beers, wines and cocktails to choose from here! The menu is full of amazing dishes – bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes), shepherd’s pie, Guinness beef stew, and so much more. I have eaten here several times, and it is just the best – a true gem!

Quick note about the above restaurants: As with any sit down meal at Disney, you’ll want to do your best to make an ADR (or Advance Dining Reservation) for them in advance to ensure that you are able to partake in these amazing dining spots!

Quick Meals:
Earl Of Sandwich: There are few things better than the smell of freshly baked bread – which the Earl is baking up daily for his mouth-wateringly delicious sandwiches – Holiday Turkey (featuring stuffing and cranberry sauce!), Caprese, buffalo chicken, and tuna melt to name a few. Oh – and don’t forget to grab a brownie sandwich for dessert as they are filled with frosting (and who doesn’t need a frosting sandwich in their life?). One of the best parts of this spot is it’s pretty reasonable price wise, and usually pretty speedy too

Food Trucks: Assorted food trucks park on the West Side of Disney Springs starting around lunch time daily, and while it’s not always the same trucks each day, you can be sure you will find some amazing meal options either way. The Namaste Café truck offers up freshly made naan, samosas, butter chicken, and tandoori shrimp; while Fantasy Fare serves classic dishes like corn dogs, chicken strips, and buffalo chicken and waffles. The great thing about grabbing a bite here is the variety – there’s something for everyone, and always something new and unique to try (for those adventurous eaters out there!)

Snack Attack:
Ghiradelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop: You can smell the house made hot fudge and freshly baked waffle cones as you approach this dessert spot, and it’s enough to lure you right in (well, it is for me at least!). The menu is full of delicious ice cream sundaes and assorted lattes and other coffee beverages as well (including the classic Ghiradelli hot chocolate!). You can also purchase assorted packaged chocolates to bring home with you (and if they don’t make it all the way home, that’s ok too, I don’t judge)

Check out the official Disney Springs Dining Site Here for the most up to date list of offerings so you can plan which ones you’ll eat at next time you’re in Disney!

I would love to know which Disney Springs Dining Spots Top YOUR list, too!

Disneyland Hotel fire causes evacuation

September 11, 2016

Earlier this morning a small fire started in the basement of the Disneyland Hotel in California.

The fire department was called about at 5:45 am to put out a fire that seems to have been caused by a malfunctioning machine that contained oil, which led to a lot of smoke.

The smoke traveled through the building and vents even-though the fire was quickly extinguished the smoke filled the first 3 floors of the resort and guests were quickly evacuated.

According to Anaheim Police Sgt. Daron Wyatt there was one firefighter who was treated for slight smoke inhalation and there were no other injuries reported.

Guests were allowed to reenter the resort within an hour and a half and everyone was safely back in their rooms by 8:00am.

We are glad there were no serious injuries to report.

September 11, 2016

Various sources in the Disney-sphere have come forward with reports that height balloons have been cropping up in and around Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort sparking speculation that change may be on the horizon for this Walt Disney World Moderate Resort.

For those unfamiliar with height balloons, they are a tool used by planners to determine the impact that construction/development will have on existing views and sight lines.

Though Disney has not released any information regarding changes to Caribbean Beach Resort, it does give credence to on-going speculation that the Caribbean has been singled out as the location for Disney Vacation Club’s newest villa expansion. No information has been released as of yet regarding construction, start dates or the impact that future projects may have on existing reservations. Readers are encouraged to check back with Chip and Co for details on any future developments.

Tiana’s Place– Disney-goers disappointed that this restaurant never materialized over at Walt Disney World will be pleased to know that this homage to The Princess and the Frog will be fully realized on the Disney Wonder.

Disney’s Night of Joy 2016 Event and Venue Change Review

By

Lisette R

-

September 11, 2016

If you have ever attended, or are planning to attend, a Night Of Joy event at the Walt Disney World Resort then you may already know that the venue changed this year. Since 1983, with the exception of 2008 and 2009 when Night of Joy was held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this event has been held at the Magic Kingdom. This year, Night of Joy is taking place at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex. Many folks have mixed emotions about this change of venue. However, with all change comes some new things we can love, and some old things that we miss. Here is my Review of Disney’s Night of Joy 2016.

The Schedule of Events, the line-up of Christian Contemporary Bands, and the ESPN Wide Worlds of Sports locations map are excellent. The Schedule of Events lists the time, the band, and the location of each performance so you can plan your evening. The times are spaced out a bit so it is possible to see at least some of each performance. The list of bands is phenomenal. If you enjoy Contemporary Christian music then you are sure to enjoy most of the bands included in this year’s line-up. The ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World is massive and the map was very helpful in figuring out where everything was. There are cast members all about and they are more than willing to answer questions and offer assistance.

While we can all agree that we loved having Night of Joy at the Magic Kingdom, the ESPN Wide World of Sports offers something that the Magic Kingdom cannot offer; seating. We loved having this event take place at the Magic Kingdom where we could see our favorite Christian bands perform on the Castle Forecourt Stage and the Tomorrowland Stages. However, with the exception of the Tomorrowland stage behind Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, there was no-where to sit. Standing on the hot pavement for even one hour can become tiring. The ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex provides the HP Field House (indoors), the Champion Stadium (open air stadium), and the Jostens Center (indoors). All three of these locations have seating for thousands of people.

Another factor that plays a key role in the new choice of venue for Night of Joy is space. The Champion Stadium is basically a baseball field which provides an ample amount of space for the thousands of people who frequent this event. The outdoor Fields of Joy area provides space for people to enjoy some sporting practice on the large fields, or just enjoy sitting and relaxing hillside to observe what is going on around you. I loved the fact that I could see the Star Wars Galactic Fireworks at Hollywood Studios, and the Illuminations Fireworks at Epcot, from my hillside vantage point. I believe that these two factors, space and seating, have created a very positive change to the Night of Joy event.

The event food options are limited to Concession Stands, a ESPN Wide World of Sports Grille, and Food Trucks. If you enjoy this kind of food then you are sure to find something you like to eat. If you are like me, and you do not care for these types of foods then you may want to plan accordingly and bring in some snacks. I was not prepared for this but certainly will know for next year. The snow cone truck had a long line most of the evening and appeared to be a very popular food choice amongst the guests. The food options are what I missed most about having the Night of Joy event at the Magic Kingdom and I see this as a not-so-postive change created by the new venue.

There is a hydration station outdoors near the Fields of Joy and the Food Trucks. Be sure to stay hydrated. Even though the Night of Joy event takes place in the evening, it is still pretty warm overnight here in Central Florida.

FanFest is located inside the Jostens Center building. Here you will find games such as table car racing, giant blocks and life-size floor chess to name a few. While these games do not take the place of Magic Kingdom rides, they do offer a distraction to pass a bit of time between bands.

Also in the Jostens Center are merchandise locations for the bands and a place where you can attend Q & A Sessions with some of your favorite Christian music artists. There will be three opportunities on Saturday, September 10th, to meet some of these amazing musicians.

Also at FanFest in the Jostens Center is a meet-and-greet with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. They look splendid in their sporty attire don’t you think? One bonus to this is that you will only see them dressed in their sports attire at this venue. The lines were not very long to meet them and that was another plus as well.

Night of Joy 2016 specific merchandise is located inside the HP Field House, Champion Stadium and Jostens Center. They are centrally located around the walkways at each location. Look for signs and the tables set up specifically for the sale of this merchandise.

Located outside, along the central walkway, are the larger-than-life signs listing the locations and times for the bands performances. These are also listed in your schedule of events map.

For an additional cost, you can purchase the Premium Ticket for the Night of Joy event. You will receive an exclusive pin and lanyard as well as premium seating options for the band performances. A special thanks to my new friends from Ontario, Canada who were willing to let me take pictures of them with their premium lanyards.

Some of you have been asking if the Night of Joy is worth the expense. I give you a resounding “Yes.” While some of the magic of the experience is gone, the food is less than ideal, and there are no Disney rides available, the atmosphere, the space, and the music are spectacular. Something that we must remember is that the Night of Joy is about connecting spiritually with one another. I look forward to what next year’s agenda will have to offer us during the Night of Joy 2017.

Halloween returns to the Disneyland & California Adventure

By

Chip

-

September 10, 2016

Halloween time, a season for fun-loving spirits of all ages, adds spooky excitement to the Disneyland Resort from Sept. 9 through Oct. 31. Special Halloween-themed attractions–Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy–return to Disneyland Park, while the haunts who reside year-round at The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror invite guests to “drop in” at Disney California Adventure Park.

The separately ticketed Mickey’s Halloween Party also arrives at Disneyland in September with a thrilling new surprise: The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow rides through the park, bringing new chills to the family friendly party. The character is from Disney’s animated feature, “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.”

As the summer season turns to fall, Mickey’s Halloween Party will begin Friday, Sept. 23, for 17 select nights. The after-hours party treats guests to unforgettable entertainment including the sensational “Halloween Screams” fireworks spectacular, a guest favorite that is exclusive to Mickey’s Halloween Party. Adults and children are encouraged to dress in costume for the party as they trick-or-treat throughout Disneyland for a scary good time. Guests may check www.Disneyland.com for Mickey’s Halloween Party costume policy guidelines prior to their arrival.

Highlights of Mickey’s Halloween Party, a separate-ticket event, include:

New for Mickey’s Halloween Party in 2016, The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow rides his ghostly black steed and carries his flickering jack-o-lantern through the heart of Disneyland, heralding the arrival of Mickey’s Halloween Party character cavalcade, presented on the 17 nights of this special party.
Entry to Disneyland Park before the party is included with a Mickey’s Halloween Party ticket. Guests have the opportunity to play in Disneyland park for three hours before the party starts, and then go trick or treating – for candy and healthy treats – in the ultimate Disney neighborhood.
The “Halloween Screams” fireworks spectacular, presented exclusively for guests of Mickey’s Halloween Party, is hosted by “Master of Scare-omonies” Jack Skellington.
Party guests will rock out at Tomorrowland Terrace in a family-friendly dance party.
Guests can “Party Like a Villain” as Disney villains appear in select locations for photos and character greetings. Mickey Mouse and his pals will appear as well, dressed in their Halloween costumes.
Enhancing the eerie atmosphere along Main Street, U.S.A., animated Halloween images – ghosts, bats, pumpkins and skeletons – appear and disappear mysteriously on the facades of buildings throughout the evening.
The ghoulish Cadaver Dans quartet performs Halloween tunes aboard a drifting graveyard-themed raft, on the fog-filled Rivers of America in New Orleans Square and Frontierland.
Nearly all the favorite Disneyland rides and attractions, plus Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, will be open to party guests.

On select, non-Mickey’s Halloween Party nights, guests visiting Disneyland will enjoy a special treat: the “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks spectacular. In addition, the dynamic “Mickey’s Soundsational Parade” will march down Main Street, U.S.A., each day throughout Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort.

Guests in search of Halloween chills may “drop in” to visit the ghostly full-time residents of The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror in Disney California Adventure. Here, in the remains of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, dwell the spirits of hotel guests who disappeared during a “supernatural” event on Halloween Night in 1939.

With the arrival of Halloween time, Jack Skellington makes his annual appearance in Disneyland to take over the Haunted Mansion and bring Haunted Mansion Holiday back to New Orleans Square. Haunted Mansion Holiday is inspired by the classic animated film “Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas” and transforms the Mansion with a collision of Halloween spookiness and Christmas cheer. Oct. 3, 2016 marks the 15^th anniversary of this special attraction’s premiere in Disneyland.

Spooky Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland draws guests back again and again during the Halloween season. The unique Halloween-themed experience launches voyagers into a haunted section of the universe, where ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.

In Frontierland, the traditional Dia de los Muertos is observed through Tuesday, Nov. 1, with a holiday skeleton display in the plaza near the entrance of Rancho del Zocalo.

Tickets for Mickey’s Halloween Party* may be purchased online and on mobile devices at Disneyland.com/party, as well as at the Disneyland Resort main gate and by phone at 714-781-4400. Guests may check for availability for the 17 nights: Friday, Sept. 23; Monday, Sept. 26, Wednesday, Sept. 28; Friday, Sept. 30; Monday, Oct. 3; Wednesday, Oct. 5; Friday, Oct. 7; Monday, Oct. 10; Wednesday, Oct. 12; Friday, Oct. 14; Monday, Oct. 17; Wednesday, Oct. 19; Friday, Oct. 21; Monday, Oct. 24; Wednesday, Oct. 26; Saturday, Oct. 29; and Monday, Oct. 31, Halloween night.

September 10, 2016

We have sad news today. The World Famous Scoop Sanderson will be departing the Magic Kingdom. Scoop is one of the fun loving citizens of Main Street U.S.A in the Magic Kingdom.

He is well known for goofing around with the younger guests as well as trading pins with guests. His last day will be October 8^th.He says his contract was not renewed, but he will still be available for vacations and call-outs.

Holland Hays, the man who portrayed Scoop Sanderson, posted this on his Facebook Page:

You know that sudden empty feeling of sad disappointment when you discover Scoop is not on Main Street today? Get ready to feel it a lot more.

More often I mean. It will still be brief, disappearing the instant you encounter one of the other dazzling Citizens of Main Street USA. Or handsome Leading Man and Magic Kingdom Park Vice President Dan Cockerell. Or at the very least you shall be restored upon entering one of the six other magical themed lands of The Most Magical Place on Earth

You’re gonna miss me!

And I you.

I know we will miss him and all the joy he brings the people of Main Street.

You can comment below any memories you may have of him or sign the petition to let Disney know to keep Scoop!
