New Clawhauser Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Card will be Available at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Sorcerer card

A new event-exclusive Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game card featuring Clawhauser from “Zootopia” will be available on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights beginning next Friday, September 2nd. The special event card will be distributed separately (and in addition to) the regular Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card packs that are handed out at the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A. Guests must register to play with their party ticket and event wristband in order to receive the special “Clawhauser’s Tricky Treat” card.

Why Clawhauser? Because he loves sweets, particularly donuts! On Halloween he enjoys sharing the delicious, ring-shaped delights with the trick-or-treaters who come to his door. Merlin the Magician was so impressed with the cheetah’s generosity, that he created a spell in his honor, “Clawhauser’s Tricky Treat.” When a sorcerer casts this spell, dozens of magical donuts appear! But spell-casters must be wary: careless use might result in an explosion of rainbow sprinkles!

New to the game? Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is an in-park interactive experience that allows guests join Merlin’s quest to defeat Disney Villains who are scheming to take over Magic Kingdom Park. Guests use maps to search for villain hideouts throughout the park, and visit magic portals where they use spell cards to fight back against a villain’s plan. The journey begins at the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A., where you can pick up everything you need to play.

Disney XD’s ‘Milo Murphy’s Law,’ Starring Al Yankovic, To Premiere Monday, October 3

Al

Al

Legendary satirist and Grammy Award-winning recording artist Al Yankovic (“Weird Al”) voices the title role in “Milo Murphy’s Law,” a new animated adventure comedy series premiering Monday October 3rd, 8pm EDT, on Disney XD. From the creators of “Phineas and Ferb“, Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh the series follows 13-year-old Milo Murphy, the fictional great-great-great-great grandson of the Murphy’s Law namesake. Milo embodies all that is Murphy’s Law, where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

A full-length preview of the first episode will be available on the Disney XD app, Disney XD’s YouTube Channel and Disney XD VOD platforms beginning Monday September 26th.

Born with Extreme Hereditary Murphy’s Law condition (EHML), a trait that has affected the men in the Murphy family for generations, Milo is always expecting the unexpected. No matter what goes wrong – and it constantly does – Milo is prepared for every possibility, armed with knowledge, a backpack of supplies, and an endless sense of optimism and enthusiasm that can turn any catastrophe into an adventure. In each 22-minute episode, comprised of two 11-minute stories, Milo, along with his best friends Zack and Melissa, find ways to think outside of the box while enjoying life’s obstacles.

Starring with Yankovic are Sabrina Carpenter and MeKai Curtis as Milo’s best friends Melissa Chase and Zack Underwood, respectively. Yankovic also performs the series’ theme song and other songs throughout the series.

Ming-Na Wen (ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) joins the recurring cast as high-level time travel agent Savannah. The previously announced recurring cast members include: Christian Slater as Elliot Decker, the school crossing guard and self-proclaimed “Safety Czar” of Jefferson G. County, who has made it his mission to protect the world from Milo; Vanessa Williams as Zack’s mom Eileen Underwood; Sarah Chalke as science teacher Miss Murawski; Jemaine Clement as Dr. Zone, a popular television show character who travels through time with his trusty sidekick Time Ape; Chrissie Fit as Amanda Lopez, an overachieving perfectionist in Milo’s class; Vincent Martella as Bradley Nicholson, Milo’s envious and pessimistic classmate; Diedrich Bader as Milo’s dad Martin Murphy; Pamela Adlon as Milo’s mom Brigette Murphy; Kate Micucci as Milo’s sister Sara Murphy; Mackenzie Phillips as Principal Elizabeth Milder; Dee Bradley Baker as Milo’s dog Diogee; Brett Dalton as high-level time travel agent Brick; Gregory Michael Cipes as classmate Mort Schaeffer; Sophie Winkleman as Dr. Zone’s sidekick Time Ape; Michael Culross as high school teacher Kyle Drako; and Kevin Michael Richardson as Coach Nolan Mitchell.

Povenmire and Marsh also voice pistachio protectors from the future, Vinnie Dakota and Balthazar Cavendish, respectively. Emmy Award-nominated Robert F. Hughes serves as director/producer, Bob Bowen is director, and Emmy Award-nominated Danny Jacob serves as composer and song producer. Emmy Award-nominated Scott Peterson is story editor, and Joshua Pruett, Dani Vetere, Martin Olson and Jim Bernstein, the Emmy Award-nominated writing team from “Phineas and Ferb,” serve as staff writers. “Milo Murphy’s Law” is a production of Disney Television Animation and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.

Limited Time Only: Memory Maker Experience with Belle!

Belle

Belle

Beauty and the Beast has been on the rise with the live action film on the way, and for a limited time only you can meet Princess Belle in the Magic Kingdom at the Heritage House.  This is an exclusive meet and greet, starting at 11am for Disney guests who have Memory Maker.

If you don’t know where the Heritage House is located make sure you grab a map or use the MyDisneyExperience app on your smart phone.  It is in Liberty Square beside the Hall of Presidents and Across from Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe.

At this meet and greet your Magic Band or park ticket will be scanned by a Disney PhotoPass Cast Member for verification of the Memory Maker, and then you will be escorted in to the Heritage House.  While you wait your turn to meet Belle, there are lounge chairs you can relax in, or you can just enjoy the air conditioning.  This former store has been given a Beauty and the Beast overlay, with blue and gold decoration, and roses throughout the room.  You will meet Belle in her formal gown, where a PhotoPass photographer will capture some great photos for your Memory Maker.

If you don’t have Memory Maker, meet and greets are still available at Enchanted Tales with Belle, but she does not sign autographs there.  However, if you do have Memory Maker and wish to meet Belle, I recommend this experience because children can get her autograph and the line is much shorter.

Memory Maker is included with most annual passes and can also be purchased for $149.  It includes unlimited digital downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass photos and videos, select attraction and character dining photos and videos, discounts on prints of your photos, Magic Shots featuring Disney characters added to your photos, and digital borders and stickers to personalize your photos online.

Don’t forget, this Memory Maker Experience with Belle ends August 31, so get there before it’s too late!

Walt Disney World will be filling long forgotten River Country pool.

RC

RC

River Country was once a fun filled water park at Walt Disney World, however since it’s closing in 2002 it has just been sitting untouched. There is now word that the pool in the center of the park that was once used as a major attraction is being drained and refilled.

Over the years we have seen many pictures and have heard many stories about River Country and what would become of the park which nature has taken back.  There is still no word on any other area of the park being worked on, only the pool.

River Country is located directly behind Mickey’s Backyard BBQ. There is now fear that if a child were to get away from their parents and end up in the partially empty pool it could result in the child getting hurt or worse. Disney is just recovering from a recent child death and now will be taking every precaution possible.

Besides the safety concern, standing water attracts mosquitoes, and with the new health scare of the Zika virus it is important to avoid attracting mosquitoes.

Disney is claiming filling the pool at River Country had been a play in the works for a while now and has nothing to do with the Zika virus outbreak.

Hopefully this will be the beginning of something new being developed in this available land.

Blu-Ray Review: Grey’s Anatomy Season 12

IMG_2401

Season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy experienced a lot of ups and downs. Besides this being the first season without Derek (I swear, I’ll get over it), it begins with Bailey being the new chief, April and Jackson and their mess, a new resident that’s not welcome, a new surgeon that’s not welcome, babies and court cases and death, oh my!

I’ve been a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan since Season one, and I’ve re-watched the episodes over and over. This being the 11th season it feels like I know these characters better than ever. Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, the title character, has grown as any ‘real’ person would. It’s very refreshing to see actual human changes in a fictional character. Supported by Justin Chambers (Karev), Chandra Wilson (Bailey), and James Pickens Jr. (Webber) from the get go, the surprises from familiar characters are always great! I’d list off the rest off the characters and actors that have joined the central cast as the years have gone by, but this article would be as long as the show has been on! Let’s just say owning the Blu-Ray just makes my obsession ever easier to facilitate.

The bonus features are a fun added gift for the longterm viewer.

In Stitches – the blooper/gag reel that is always so much fun to watch! This one is great as well.

Deleted Scenes – there are actually two deleted scenes that are featured on this disc. They must have been cut for time, because I can completely understand why they were written and filmed. And don’t quite understand why they were left out of the final edit.

If you are a Grey’s fan, this set belongs in your collection!
