Celebrity performances for Disney Christmas specials expected to tape at Walt Disney World this week

Posted on by AllEars
This year, The Walt Disney Co. is giving fans two extra holiday television specials in November in addition to its traditional Christmas morning show - and taping begins this week at Walt Disney World. Filming will take place beginning tomorrow (Nov. 9) through Sunday (Nov. 13) at all four Walt Disney World theme parks, according to multiple media outlets. The Christmas parade will be taped only at Disneyland in California, which means only musical performances and other segments will be recorded in Orlando. No dates for taping on the West Coast have been announced so far.

Disney Springs Offers New Holiday Experience

Posted on by AllEars
The Disney Parks Blog this week teased about a new holiday experience coming to Disney Springs. We don't have any details yet, but you can see a very short video that drops a few hints HERE. In addition to the previously announced Christmas Tree Trail, Disney Springs will offer the following for the holidays: -- At the Marketplace, the Festival of Toys, a nightly interactive holiday dance party, will be featured at the Once Upon a Toy Fountain. There will also be pin trading and a nightly tree-lighting ceremony at 6 p.m. in that neighborhood of Disney Springs. -- Santa's Chalet will return, and Disney PhotoPass photographers will be on hand. You can pick up a pager upon arrival, allowing you to shop, dine or play while you wait for your turn in the queue to visit Santa. -- Stitch's Holiday Gift Hunt, a scavenger hunt-style activity for the whole family, is set to start on the day after Thanksgiving. The hunt will send you through all four neighborhoods of Disney Springs. Once complete, you can visit participating locations for a limited-edition completer button. Most holiday festivities will continue at Disney Springs through January 8, 2017.

Disney movie review: Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange

Posted on by AllEars
I didn't expect to like Doctor Strange as much as I did mainly because I don't feel a personal connection to the Marvel Studios superheroes the way many comics fans do. But that was precisely what made the movie so good: a film-goer like myself could get caught up in the story -- and the thrilling way it was translated from a comic book -- without needing a lot of detailed background for it to make sense and be enjoyable.

Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners

Posted on by AllEars
I guess I have always been too fascinated watching gardeners at work at Walt Disney World, that I have very few photos of them. As I looked back through my Flower and Garden festival pics, I came across this 2010 photo of Mother Nature herself! I mean, if she isn’t the ultimate gardener, who is? … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners"
