Salma Hayek Pinault and her daughter Valentina recently came to meet the Disney Princesses at Disneyland park.

Watching any two-year-old girl meet Tiana, Cinderella and Snow White would be a pleasure to witness, but when the whole family is just as excited to be there, it’s nothing short of a royal treat.

Disney’s Old Key West Resort Renovations Underway

Disney’s Old Key West Resort
One of my favorite DVC Resorts (and the very first one on Disney property) Disney’s Old Key West Resort is getting a facelift. A major room refurbishment is underway that will make them feel fresh, more high tech and modern. I am psyched about the new flat–panel TVs, gorgeous granite countertops and the addition of a sleeper chair in the one and two bedroom villas. The rooms will feel brand new with comfy bedding and pillows, drapes, rugs, chairs, carpeting, lamps and furniture. It will take place building by building and I will get photos soon.

Union members protest Disney contract

About 325 union members and supporters protested in the Disneyland area about hotel employees’ ongoing contract dispute with Disney.

About 2,100 Disney hotel employees have worked without a contract for about two and a half years — a time period marked by dozens of protests, a one-day strike, walkouts, a week-long hunger strike and arrests. On Monday, union members from other Disney-area venues joined the protest as a way to send a message to their employers to avoid such turmoil during contract negotiations.

Together, the protesters were supposed to represent about 5,000 union members in the resort area.

“It is unfortunate that (the union) continues to focus its energy on protesting rather ensuring its members have the security of a contract,” said Suzi Brown, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman, in a prepared statement before the protest.

Monday’s protest coincided with Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game festivities, which are expected to draw about 200,000 people to the Disney area through Tuesday.

Some protesters wore Mickey Mouse masks with black eyes to represent that Disney is the black eye of Anaheim, said Leigh Shelton, a spokeswoman for the hotel union, Unite Here Local 11. Protests began in front of the Anaheim Convention Center and Paradise Pier Hotel in the Disneyland Resort then moved along Harbor Boulevard.

“We’re asking the other tourism employers to treat workers fairly and not be like Disney,” Shelton said.

Truly, the worst attraction in the MK. The jokes are terrible and the bears look a bit shopworn. And why do they pick on that one bear for being fat? Maybe that makes some of us feel uncomfortable? Hmmm? If they brought back the Christmas show, I might change my mind, but even my youngest thinks this show is lame. They should close it down and open up a nice sit-down restaurant. Selling bear meat. I give it a 2, but only because I’m so sweet.
