As our 50th Grad Nite season comes to an end, we are excited to announce new twists and enhancements coming in 2012 and 2013 to this traditional rite of passage so many of us experienced as high school graduates.

In 2012, Grads will have more time, more flexibility and more room for their celebration at the Disneyland Resort including the opportunity to enter Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure park at any time during their Grad Nite visit. Students will receive a park hopper ticket allowing them a full day to experience both parks!

In addition, 2012 Grads will now receive a special FASTPASS option to use during their visit and a private showing of “Fantasmic!” to kick off the exclusive private party that begins when Disneyland park closes.

Beginning in 2013, the private party will move to Disney California Adventure park where Grads will enjoy all the newest offerings including an exclusive “World of Color” viewing and the new Cars Land.

As these pictures show, our Grad Nites have become an important milestone for millions of graduating seniors in the last five decades, and we are excited to share new experiences as Grad Nites evolve just like the Disneyland Resort continues to evolve each year. We look forward to celebrating many future classes to come!

Disney Confidential – Lack of Discounts Got You Down?

Disney Confidential - Lack of Discounts Got You Down?

Hey there guys and gals Anonymouse here.

Lack of Disney Discounts got you down? Me too.

Well, fear not, my pretties.  I just happen to know that Pixie Vacations will be announcing an exclusive offer tomorrow.  I can’t tell you everything, but I can give you a couple of hints:

  • It’s for travel during a cooler time of year.
  • Think festive, man in a red suit, candy canes and lumps of coal in your stockings.

Okay, scratch that last point.  No one wants coal in their stocking.

  • Think tropical resorts.
  • Or maybe something a little less pricey?
  • Think discounts bigger than you’ll get from the Mouse.

My loud mouth blabbermouth sources say this is a good one, but the dates are limited to just a week or so.  I’m not sure yet about what little treats they’re throwing in just because they love you, but I’m sure there will be something. And it won’t be coal. Unless your name is Chip Chris. (Edited by Chip)

I can’t tell you anymore or they’ll take my computer away again, so stay tuned for tomorrow morning.

Oh, and start working on that Christmas list, while you’re at it.

Anywho that is all I have for today.

Got any good rumors?  Please email me at [email protected] on my Facebook Page.

Disney Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Gets New Movie Poster

Disney Pixar’s have just released the brand new teaser poster for their new movie, Brave which will be in theaters 17th August 2012.

Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom.

In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman (Julie Walters) and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida’s quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), the surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane).

Santa Claus Exchanges Red Suit for Red Shorts This Summer at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel

This July, Santa Claus might just earn the nickname “Sandy Claus” as he ventures to the white sandy beach at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel for a summer getaway with Mrs. Claus. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the couple decked out in their warm-weather attire and get a taste of Christmas this summer.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will make public appearances at the hotel the evenings of July 16-17 and 23-24. Guests and the public can visit with the pair and take advantage of a unique opportunity to get a family photo with the big guy himself, well enough in time for this year’s holiday cards.

Last November and December, the Clauses left their humble North Pole abode for a vacation at the Orlando hotel before Santa’s big night. They enjoyed themselves so much, they decided to return for the summer as well.

“We had a blast last holiday season relaxing at our Tiki hut and driving around in our customized golf cart,” said Santa. “Mrs. Claus and I can’t wait to return. We’re looking forward to swimming, enjoying a steak at Shula’s Steak House and meeting all of the wonderful families at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel.”

Guests who would like to vacation with Santa at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel can take advantage of a special summer offer with rates starting at $139 per night. For details or to book, guests can visit www.santasfavoriteresort.com or call 1-800-227-1500 and ask for rate code “SANTA”.

This winter, Santa and Mrs. Claus plan on returning for their pre Christmas Eve vacation when the hotel will roll out a full array of holiday activities. They will include a life-sized sculpture of Santa constructed of 1,200 lbs. of chocolate, an elf bedtime tuck-in service and personal Christmas tree guest room delivery.

In the heart of the Walt Disney World Resort, the award-winning Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel is the gateway to Central Florida’s greatest theme parks and attractions. www.swandolphin.com

Disney/ABC Television Group Sponsors The American Fertility Association’s Infertility Prevention Program

Disney/ABC Television Group Sponsors The American Fertility Association's Infertility Prevention Program

The American Fertility Association (The AFA) announced today that the Disney/ABC Television Group has given a generous, unrestricted educational grant to further the work of The AFA’s infertility prevention program.

The program’s centerpiece is an Infertility Prevention Handbook, available online as a PDF, and in hard copy by request. The Handbook provides the outline for the curriculum used at outreach events, which range from manicure salons, to college campuses, to restaurants, to corporate boardrooms. The AFA staff facilitates the events, leading conversations designed to help young women make the right decisions for themselves about key aspects of their lives.

“1 in 8 couples are affected by some degree of infertility, and most people don’t realize that a woman’s fertility begins to decrease at age 27. The AFA is committed to taking education to people where they live and work and socialize,” said Ken Mosesian, Executive Director. “We’re deeply appreciative of the contribution that the Disney/ABC Television Group is making to our efforts to educate all people — but particularly young women — about the reality of the biological clock, and the impact that sexually transmitted infections and environmental toxins can have on their fertility.”

“The Disney/ABC Television Group is pleased to support the work of The American Fertility Association in their efforts to educate young women about infertility prevention as they navigate career, education, and family,” said Brad Jamison, VP, Corporate Initiatives.
