All new for 2015 Disney has decided to change the name of their Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade to Disney Parks Unforgettable Christmas Celebration. Gone is the Frozen theme of last year and this years theme is a bit of a mystery.

So far the only details we know is when the taping schedule will be for the Magic Kingdom. In years past the taping schedule for the Magic Kingdom has been the first week of December, but this year it looks like Disney is moving the taping of the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade to November 10th – 13th 2015.

Like in years past guests will be able to take part in the taping and special tickets are not needed. I would make plans now to attend or if you don’t like crowds avoid the Magic Kingdom all together.

As soon as we get the official word just treat this as gossip for now.

The premiere of Star Wars Rebels – Season Two starts tonight on Disney XD (9:30 PM ET/PT). A recent opportunity to enjoy a press event at the Walt Disney Studio Offices included two upcoming episodes of this new season.

The event started out with a screening of the upcoming episodes where we see Kanan, Ezra and the rest of the group team up with The clones, Captain Rex and Commanders Gregor and Wolffe. When Ezra shares they were sent by Ahsoka Tano, The Clones go out of their way to help the team try to secure the future for all. Season one brought us Ahsoka Tano as an early member of the Rebel Alliance who is putting her skills and knowledge to good use gathering an army that will eventually take down the first Death Star.

In Season Two. Darth Vader will continue to send out new agents to battle against the Rebels which gets more persona. Season Two also brings back old and new characters with the talented voices of Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex, Captain Gregor and Commander Wolffe and David Oyelowo as Agent Kallus. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in Season Two as the new Inquisitor known as the Seventh Sister.

The press conference after the screening allowed us to chat with Dave Filoni (Executive Producer), Freddie Prinze Jr. (“Kanan”), Vanessa Marshall (“Hera”), Ashley Eckstein (“Ahsoka Tano”) and Dee Bradley Baker (“Captain Rex”).

Dave Filoni shared that Season Two will be more about the family and that there will be characters from Clone Wars appearing in Season Two. Season One was a background for this season which will have higher stakes and more private moments between characters. Rex and Kenan will have a hard time trusting each other. Lots of light saber duels will be part of this season as well. Tano (Ashley Eckstein) will have a bit of a hard time trying to figure out how to move forward as she continues in the role she started in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season Two is all about where they came from. Vanesssa Marshall (Hera) is excited to be a part of Rebels. As the pilot she is responsible for the safe delivery of the Ghost crew to their destinations. My favorite member of the press conference turned out to be the very talented, Dee Bradley Baker, who voices not only Captain Rex and all the clones but also Bossk. Baker shared that he has voiced more Star Wars characters than all his other characters put together. His list is long and includes Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb, Slythe in Thundercats and numerous characters in Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar: The Last Airbeende3r, Legends of the Hidden Temple (Nickelodeon) as well as many favorite video games such as Gears of War 1 & 2, Halo 1 & 2 and feature films such as Space Jam, Happy Feet, G-Force and Astroboy to name a few.

With the Season 2 premiere of Star Wars Rebels just one day away, LucasFilm has revealed a clip from the first episode, The Lost Commanders. In this scene from Star Wars Rebels, Ezra (Taylor Gray) introduces himself and the rest of his compatriots to the clones, who identify themselves as Captain Rex and Commanders Gregor and Wolffe. The meeting becomes much friendlier when Ezra reveals they were sent by Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein). Fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will remember Captain Rex, Gregor and Wolffe, all of whom are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Ahsoka Tano, who debuted in the Star Wars Rebels Season 1 finale Fire Across the Galaxy after six seasons on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Fans learned that Tano was an early member of the Rebel Alliance. She put her skills as one of the few remaining Jedis to good use, helping to gather the army that would eventually take down the first Death Star. As the second season of Star Wars Rebels opens, the crew of the Ghost is now a very real threat to the Empire. That’s bad news, because Darth Vader has been assigned with the task of mopping them up. Undeterred, the rebels seek out old friends and new allies, hoping to rally the formidable alliance which began to crystallize at the end of Season One. Vader will dispatch new agents to counter their growing coalition, but the Sith Lord’s battle with the Rebels could be more personal than anyone realized. The talented voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex, Captain Gregor and Commander Wolffe and David Oyelowo as Agent Kallus. Sarah Michelle Gellar will also star in Season 2 as the new Inquisitor known as the Seventh Sister. In addition, the series has brought back a number of classic characters with Stephen Stanton voicing Grand Moff Tarkin, Phil LaMarr as Bail Organa and original trilogy stars Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), Frank Oz (Yoda) and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) voicing their characters. Star Wars Rebels is created by Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past, Sherlock Holmes), and Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is executive-produced by Dave Filoni and Simon Kinberg, and co-executive produced by Henry Gilroy. Check out the latest clip before the Season 2 premiere of Star Wars Rebels debuts tomorrow night.

Top 5 Walt Disney World Character Dining Spots

By

October 14, 2015

Character Dining is a vital part of your Walt Disney World experience! Once your vacation is booked, your first countdown is 180 days to make those beloved dining reservations. One of the things that makes Disney World magical is the endless options of restaurants, including Character Dining! You can sit down, relax and enjoy a meal while some of your favorite characters stop by, have some fun, give some autographs and of course strike a pose. What’s not to love? You have to take some time out of your day to eat, so take some time out of standing in line to meet some characters while you’re at it! Obviously the cuisine, location and ambience might influence what Character Dining you select. So here is my Top 5 Walt Disney World Character Dining Spots.

5. O’hana (Polynesian Village Resort) – You’ll be whisked into a Hawaiian atmosphere and get to enjoy an “All-You-Care-To-Enjoy” Breakfast with your cousins. Wait, What? Cousins? Well, I mean after all ‘Ohana means family. Family means no one is left behind – or forgotten.” So there, you are a ‘cousin’. Food is good and plentiful with a South Pacific twist. Daughters love the Mickey Waffles. My favorite was the P.O.G. – Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava Juice. Hawaiian Style Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch will make there rounds for an unforgettable interaction.

4. Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) – You can score big with this one. While making Breakfast reservations, if yours happens to be right at-or before- park opening, you will get to go into the park before Rope Drop! Frolic in front of the castle, march down Main Street but whatever you do take advantage of those photo opportunities! Once you get venture into the whimsical world of Hundred Acre Wood for their “Friendship Day Celebration” You get to enjoy their Breakfast Buffet. Which has food, on top of food, on top of more food. Pooh’s corner, fruit, pastries, omelet station, meats, potatoes and more. Wear pants with an elastic waist on this day. While you are stuffing your face, friendly faces come by your table including Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and the Pooh bear himself! The kids can even join them in a little parade around the Crystal Palace, so parents get a few minutes for good photo ops, or to get a few bites in peace. A pretty good way to start your day with your favorite hunny lovin’ friend you grew up with!

3. Mickeys Backyard BBQ (Fort Wilderness) – Yes! Who doesn’t want to grub on some down home country cookin’! Enjoy the all-you-care-to-enjoy BBQ feast, rope tricks and boot, scoot n boogie around the dance floor to a live western band with your favorite friends! Minnie, Mickey, Goofy and Chip n Dale join in on this finger lickin’ boot stompin’ good time. After shuffling around the dance floor you may become parched, so quench your thirst with lemonade, fruit punch and soft drinks, plus complimentary wine and beer for Guests 21 years of age and up (proper ID required). Whatttt! Oh but that’s not the best part.. As if this wasn’t already well worth it, finish it off with a Mickey’s Ice Cream Bar. That’s right! I reckon that sounds like a good evening for kids and adults alike!

2. Cinderella’s Royal Table (Magic Kingdom) – All those years you grew up staring in awe at Cinderella’s castle. Dreaming of one day stepping inside, well that dream can become reality! (Maybe a stop at BBB or Pirates League before dining) Join Cinderella and her friends in the heart of Magic Kingdom at the Iconic Castle. A royal experience your little prince or princess will be sure to love. Since it’s a character dining all day, if you choose breakfast you could score with frolicking and marching around before the crowd with early reservations. Breakfast is an “all-you-care-to-eat”, lunch and dinner is menu style. Cinderella will be awaiting your arrival and treat you like royalty for a photo op. Other princesses will be inside roaming the castle and greeting you during your meal. I will say that I wasn’t that impressed with the food, but for this, You are paying for the experience. A well worth it experience, at least once! You will get to meet a few princesses while dining inside the Castle while your child will be in shock and awe! If you’re planning on celebrating or popping any certain questions, they have packages to help you as well! (CRT is a pretty tough reservation to get, so if you can’t get it, but your DA absolutely must dine with royalty or their life is ruined forever, try Akershus at Epcot! Pretty much the same scenario but they have a princess parade where the little ones can join in on a parade. One of my daughters favorite memories.)

1. 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian) – The winner here is Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner. At first I only made the reservations just to go to the Grand Floridian Resort since I don’t know if I’ll ever get to sleep there. I left with it being my favorite Character Dining. You will have a ball with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella at this delicious buffet, it’s not the biggest, but rather good and includes some sushi. The interactions here are one of the best! The sisters and Lady Tremaine on the hunt to find their prince, while not keeping quiet about their feelings towards Cinderella’s happily ever after, Prince Charming and Cinderella will enjoy a dance and invite others to partake. Oh and don’t ask how Anastasia’s singing lessons are coming along! This is a great way to have a great dinner and check off some great character meets without waiting in lines at the parks!

Feeling a little curious? I also enjoy breakfast here, so I’m going to cheat and add the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast is also a delightful breakfast. With these special variety of characters, you’d be mad not to go! Alice, Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, Tigger and Pooh!

*All characters are always subject to change, so please keep that in mind.

How did my top 5 compare to yours? Do you have the same list or is there another Must do to add?

Disney Joins Forces with a Bionics Firm to Change the Lives of Some Children

By

Chip and Co Past Writers and Friends

October 13, 2015

What are you looking at is Disney Bionic prosthetic arms for children. These are so cool. Best of all they are low-cost. The Star Wars one has a lightsabre hand and when you turn it on the LED’s light up and you hear the electronic buzz that Star Wars fans know and love. That is not it, there is button that allows the child to change the color of the lights. “We’ve already had several requests for the lightsabre from people who aren’t kids,” said Joel Gibbard, 25. He is the British robotic engineer that has spent the past few months developing these amazing prosthetics.

There is more than just Star Wars. There is also Iron man and Frozen to choose from. They do look like an expensive toy but they are not. They are real prosthetic devices that are designed to transform little lives, and look pretty cool in the process. These come from a Bristol-based company called Open Bionics. So instead of kids being asked “how did you lose your hand”, now people will ask about their cool arm and they can show them all it can do. I am sure that will help these children out immensely.

They are not just a cool new prosthetic device they are also functional. Example: The led lights on the Iron Man one are used to display the muscle signals that the child is sending to the device. To a kid it is just a cool light show, but it means more than that. There is also vibration feature that will vibrate if the child fires a rocket, but this feature also send reports back to the parents of how strong the child’s grip is.

Open Bionics was given $120,000 and access to designers and techs that worked on all 3 of these movies. Disney also gave royalty-free licences which means that the price can stay down and more kids can benefit from these. The cost is expected to be less than $500.00. They should be on sale before the end on next year.

How amazing is this? Gotta love that Disney Magic!

Disney Cracks Down on More Dining Reservation Services

By

Disney News

October 13, 2015

Disney has been coming down hard on these dining reservation assistance sites. They are being shut down one by one. Disney Dining Scout is one of the last ones to recently get shut down. Other companies have had issues with similar sites. QVC, Ticketmaster, Facebook, Craigslist and eBay have all had their share of issues with what they call “web scraping”.

Disney Dining Scout was not the only one. There have been quite a few others popping up recently. What these sites do is they charge customers a small fee for them to conduct constant computerized scans of Disney Dining reservations and those hard to get reservations. Some sites would then book the reservation and sell them. These sites have attracted a lot of fans and loyal users as well as Travel Agents, no need to worry World of Magic Travel Services has not and will not utilize these sites.

Some of the other sites that have been shut down are, DisDining Agent, Disney Dining Buddy, WDWTableFinder, and WDW Tools.

One of the owners of these sites offered to work with Disney through a licensing agreement and Disney declined.

While most of you may be aware that this is the last year to see the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, you may be happy to hear that there will be a sneak peek starting November 1st at Hollywood Studios for Annual Passholders. While the Spectacle is set to start on November 6th, 2015 and run through January 3, 2016, the word on the street is that AP holders will be able to see the lights earlier. The lights were already going up on the Streets of America a few weeks ago and hopefully the show will start early for those guests visiting November 1-November 5.

Disney announced last month that after 20 years, the Spectacle would be coming to an end. Although there have been rumors that the show will be moved to another location, Disney has not released any confirmation of that possibility. I know I am not the only one who is hoping to see the lights again after this year!

If you are thinking of a trip to WDW, now is the time! I can help you plan a visit to coincide with the dates of this amazing spectacle. It is truly something not to be missed. I will be there in November so that my family can see it one last time. Hopefully the early sneak peek will allow for more visitors to plan some time to see it!

Did anyone plan a trip JUST to see the lights before they are gone? Comment below and let us know!
