Brad Bird Shares Updates On The Incredibles 2

Pixar fans are you ready for news about The Incredibles 2? Writer/director Brad Bird has been hard at work on the script and shared “I have the story arc. I’m probably three-quarters through the script, first pass through the script, but we’re already boarding parts of it,” he said.

Brad Bird has brought back many of the originals who worked on first film. Unlike other Pixar sequels, “The Incredibles 2” is a bigger challenge in that there are huge numbers of Superhero movies that have come out and are scheduled to be released in the next few years. This poses a concern “… we’re trying to keep it focused in the area that our film was, which was a little bit more about characters and relationships and stuff like that, and see where that takes us.” commented Brad Bird.

While still no date has been given, Pixar fans can rest assured that Bird is moving forward and gathering all the necessary parts to bring “The Incredibles 2” to the screen.

Top 10 Reasons Disneyland is Better Than Disney World

By

Chip and Co Past Writers and Friends

September 17, 2015

Now I know it’s difficult to compare Disneyland to Walt Disney World because they each have things that are unique to them and both are magical in their own right. If you’ve been to both parks, then you may already have an opinion on this subject, but if you’ve never been to Disneyland, hopefully this will help you get some insight on the parks. I’m going to do my best to tell you why Disneyland is better than Disney World, but be sure to visit both parks some time in your life so you can decide for yourself!

1. It’s doable in 1 day. There are 2 parks at the Disneyland Resort and you can get from one to the other just by walking! Not needing to wait in long lines for transportation to another park makes park hopping a piece of cake! You’ll be able to see a lot of both parks in just 1 day, whereas at Walt Disney World you’d need multiple days to see all 4 parks. The Disneyland Resort hotels and Downtown Disney are also within walking distance of the parks.

2. There are more rides than at Disney World. According to their websites, Disneyland has 88 attractions while Walt Disney World has 111 attractions (not including the water parks). But “attractions” include shows and other non-moving adventures. If you use the methodology of “if it moves, it’s a ride”, then the total number of rides at the 4 Walt Disney World parks combined is 46 compared to 52 rides at the 2 parks at the Disneyland Resort.

3. Disneyland still has classic rides. Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, Casey Jr. Circus Train, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Snow White’s Scary Adventures, Storybook Land Canal Boats, and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage are some of the classics that you’ll only find at Disneyland.

4. Disneyland’s version of certain rides is better! Splash Mountain, “it’s a small world”, and Pirate’s of the Caribbean are just a few of the rides that exist at both parks. The versions at Disneyland are so much better than the versions at Walt Disney World! Pirate’s of the Caribbean has 2 drops, a reverse waterfall and a more immersive experience than at WDW. “it’s a small world” has a prettier façade and the ride is more elaborate than the one in Florida. All 3 of the rides I’ve mentioned are longer than the other versions, and who doesn’t love a longer ride experience?

5. Toon Town. 2 words: Toon Town. Who doesn’t want to go visit Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their actual homes? Or play on Donald’s boat? Toon Town is a classic area of Disneyland and offers 2 rides-Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin & Gadget’s Go Coaster-and allows you to explore the homes of some of your favorite Disney characters!

6. Rides get new themes for Halloween. Jack Skellington and the rest of the cast from The Nightmare Before Christmas take over the Haunted Mansion at Halloween time and stay through New Years. Space Mountain also gets a new theme for the season and becomes Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy!

7. Cheaper tickets. Now, I know, there are lots of different options for tickets at both parks. But when you compare a 1-day park hopper adult ticket at each resort, Disneyland comes out cheaper! The cost of a 1-day park hopper ticket at Disneyland is $155.00 whereas the same ticket at Walt Disney World is $165.08.

8. California Adventure. California Adventure can only be found at the Disneyland Resort and it’s amazing! It has Cars Land which can’t be compared to any other Disney park land. Radiator Springs Racers is one of the best, most fun rides in the parks! California Screamin’ is the best roller coaster at any Disney park (it’s my favorite so I’m not biased at all!). Mickey’s fun wheel is one of only 2 “wonder wheel” Ferris wheels operating in the U.S. and gives you a great view of the park!

9. Nighttime shows. Disneyland has some spectacular nighttime shows! The Paint the Night Parade is a dazzling electric light parade that blows the Main Street Electrical Parade at Disney World out of the water! Fantasmic! is much better at Disneyland. It has high-definition projectors, a new Maleficent dragon, and fountains of water (like World of Color). World of Color at California Adventure is a stunning water projection show that uses nearly 1,200 fountains along with fire, fog, and laser effects. No other show compares! And I can’t forget the Disneyland Forever Fireworks. It’s an amazing street-to-sky spectacle. You’re literally surrounded by a mesmerizing mix of breathtaking pyrotechnics and jaw-dropping visual effects. There are 3 spots in Disneyland to view this show: Main St. U.S.A. (my personal favorite viewing spot), in front of “it’s a small world”, and in front of the Rivers of America.

10. It’s Walt’s park. Disneyland is the only park that Walt walked in when it was completed. He even has an apartment above the fire station where a lamp is always kept lit in remembrance of him. Disneyland has more history and a certain indescribable magic that can’t be found in any other Disney park.

Disneyland is a magical place and should be on everyone’s bucket list! If you haven’t had the opportunity to experience this resort, contact me to fix that problem today! I’ll be happy to help you plan an amazing Disneyland adventure.

Man Banned From Disney World Permanently for Meth Lab Joke

September 17, 2015

A St. Augustine resident, David Swindler, and his family thought they were going to have a magical few days over at Disney World‘s Pop Century Resort on Labor Day weekend. Well, he got the surprise of his life when his room was raided, he got kicked out, and banned from Disney World property.

He was hoping to make his vacation a bit longer by staying longer at the resort. He was getting a little impatient with the service he as getting so he made a joke by saying he could build a meth lab in the time it was taking them to help him. Needless to say that joke was not very funny to that Cast Member. I assume he never thought a joke would get taken that far. He is banned forever but his wife and kids are not. He was told to file an appeal with Disney security to possibly have the ban lifted.

He still loves Disney and hopes that they lift the ban, especially since they found nothing in his room.

Do you think Disney took it too far?

This is NOT a joke! This is NOT a rumor! After all those years of waiting coming soon to a new Nickelodeon channel, Splat all the classic Nickelodeon cartoons and shows from the 90’s are coming back. Nothing has been totally confirmed other than they have a new channel. But we are safe to assume that it’s going to be amazing and all our favorites from the 90’s will be showing.

Here’s a list of my favorites:

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Double Dare
Rugrats
AAAHH!!! Real Monsters
Guts
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Rocket Power
Hey Arnold
Doug
CatDog
Wild Thornberrys
Rockos Modern Life
Ren and Stimpy
Kenan and Kel
All That
Angry Beavers
Salute Your Shorts
Clarissa Explains it all

I’m sure you have seen multiple posts on Facebook or all other social media sites from your friends, and families announcing how they hope this is true etc…etc….etc…..well maybe it’s because Nickelodeon very quietly announced this new full-length channel for the network via YouTube as seen below with several clips from fan favorites that include “Rugrats,” “CatDog,” “Ren & Stimpy,” and “CatDog” to name a few this past Saturday. They also broke the crazy news of THE SPLAT with several throwback performances during the Brooklyn’s 90’s Fest. They had videos of Pauly Shore and Salt N Pepa getting “slimmed!” I know if you are like me you always dreamed of getting SLIMMED!!

They also recently launched a website for the channel, but at this time all it says is “The Splat is Coming.” However, it does have the links to their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter that seem to have more action going on.

Which cartoons or shows do you want to see on “The Splat?”

Now, you are probably wondering why a travel agent is talking to you about a new television channel? Well, let’s talk about that for just a second. Growing up didn’t you always want to get slimmed? Or maybe play Double Dare with your friends? I know I did! Well it just so happens that I know of a hotel where you can do just that! Now you’re interested!

A Theatrical Ride for the Senses from Cirque Du Soleil at Walt Disney World Resort

By

September 17, 2015

Once upon a time, a door opened and two worlds collided. Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed with the marvelous. It was no longer possible to tell where one world began and the other ended. This new place was called La Nouba.

This Cirque du Soleil creation is an unforgettable journey through this universe – at once threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar. La Nouba is the story of all stories, the site of all mysteries, where dreams and nightmares sleep side by side. La Nouba is memory, individual and universal. It beckons to us, challenges us to uncover passions we thought we had lost long ago. Here, anything is possible.

La Nouba contains two types of families or groups and throughout this theatrical ride the magic and fantasy of the colorful Cirques (circus people) clash with the monochromatic world of the Urbains (urbanites). But as in fairy tales, it is not so much this contrast as the interplay between these two groups, which sparks our curiosity and feeds our imagination.

From this encounter is born fear and ecstasy. From this encounter is born La Nouba.

The show title originates from the French phrase “faire la Nouba,” which means to party, to live it up. La Nouba transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, engaging the imagination from beginning to end with opulent sets, brilliant choreography, theatrical lighting and live music. Featuring mesmerizing high wire and flying trapeze, stunning acro-gymnastic performances and other dynamic displays of coordination and strength, La Nouba promises to surprise, excite and mystify.

With an international cast of 67 artists, Cirque du Soleil welcomes more than 1,650 spectators ten times a week. The venue is located in Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort. The 1,671-seat showroom is the first free-standing permanent theatre ever built for Cirque du Soleil. The dynamic white structure was designed to convey elegance and sensuality with the addition of fabric and tension reminiscent of a Big Top.

Disney Publishing Worldwide today announced the release of Disney “Star Darlings,” an original new property that features twelve unique girls who encourage tweens to celebrate their individuality, make positive choices, and show that they can make any wish a reality. Disney “Star Darlings” launches today in North America with two novels available everywhere books and eBooks are sold. All-new “Star Darlings” content and products will be released through November, including an accompanying storytelling and lifestyle app, music from Walt Disney Records, the first shorts in an animated series on YouTube, and a fashion dolls line created in collaboration with JAKKS Pacific that will be available at Justice stores nationwide.

The “Star Darlings” characters embody the qualities and characteristics of today’s tweens, and have been created to resonate with the audience through a multiplatform lifestyle experience tailored just for them. Each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with determination and the help of her friends, and these shared journeys and experiences are designed to inspire tweens to go after their dreams.

“’Star Darlings’ represents a fully-realized world where strong, confident girls are front and center,” said Andrew Sugerman, executive vice president, Disney Publishing Worldwide. “We’re excited to announce this all-new, innovative property tailor-made for today’s tween, and the launch of ‘Star Darlings’ represents one of our broadest multi-platform launches to date.”
The story begins on Starland where a major crisis is afoot, and twelve unique girls from the prestigious Starling Academy are chosen to be the first student Starlings to venture to Earth. Rich with themes of friendship, confidence, leadership, and teamwork, the Star Darlings go on the most magical adventures of their lives. Determined to succeed, the girls show courage and ingenuity—plus a whole lot of humor—as they guide others on Earth to discover happiness and fulfillment.

Initially conceived by designer Shana Muldoon Zappa, along with her husband, New York Times bestselling author, Ahmet Zappa (Because I’m Your Dad), “Star Darlings” was inspired by their daughter. “Our intention with Star Darlings has always been to empower every girl – no matter where she was born or what she looks like – to understand that she has what it takes within, to make her own wishes come true…through the unstoppable energy created by positive thinking, taking action and believing in yourself. “

Disney Consumer Products is partnering with Justice, the leading tastemaker for tween girls, on a multi-channel marketing campaign to help girls discover the magic of “Star Darlings.” Justice will be the retail destination for “Star Darlings” through the fall and holidays, offering a curated collection of books, dolls and limited apparel. A small assortment will also be available at select Disney Store locations and DisneyStore.com.

To celebrate the release of the first books in the “Star Darlings” series, Shana Muldoon Zappa and Ahmet Zappa will be signing copies of “Star Darlings” at Children’s Book World in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. PT.
