Alrighty… After 3 fairly sleep deprived days and I’m ready to report back on the happenings at Disney’s D23 Expo. Or as I call it Disney Dork Fest! As with any event like this, there was good and bad. The good? The were much more free about people taking pictures and recording stuff. Only at…
There is a thin line between really cool and “oh my god, did that just really happen?” After finding the number 1 video on this list the other day, I decided to go hunting for some other weird/cool/bizarre/awesome Disney cover songs. Let the madness begin… 10. From SaJ Production comes this cover of “Part Of…
Like many other Disney/Pixar nerds, I’ll be seeing Cars 2 this weekend. The reviews are starting to come out and they’re mixed. Reviewers seem to be surprised that Mater is taking a central role in this one. Not sure why. We’ve been told that since they first started talking about the movie years ago. And…
If there were ever a testament to the current climate of social media and customer feedback, it’s this one. Disney should be thanking their lucky stars for the feedback they got on the Disney World Fantasyland expansion after they premiered the plans at the D23 Expo last year. The rallying cry? “Too many damn princesses!”…
I finally got down to Disneyland to check out World Of Color this past weekend. The park was not nearly as crowded as I’d expected on a semi-holiday weekend. With judicious use of fast passes, we didn’t wait for more than 20 minutes to ride anything. Even got my girlfriend to ride California Screamin’ and…
It’s amazing how fast things move now. Disney just premiered World Of Color last night (and streamed it on Ustream no less). Two nights before there was a preview show and these videos made it to YouTube immediately. This certainly won’t do Disney any damage. I’m sure the vids are nothing like seeing the effects…
I hope you’ll allow me to geek out a little today. I’m anxiously awaiting the Princess and the Frog DVD release on 3/16. There’s a combination of coupons and rebates and stuff that you can use to get the DVD/Blue Ray combo disc cheap. Keep in mind, I have no vested interest in any of…
I thought long and hard about weighing in on this one. Mostly because I don’t want to be just another talking-cyber-head yapping away idiotically into the wind of cyberspace. But the potential from idiocy has never deterred me before, so what the heck? There’s no point in me actually reviewing the film. I’m an unabashed…
One of my lifelong dreams has been to visit the Disney studio and I got my wish this past Saturday thanks to D23. Now if D23 can fix it so I can write a song for a Disney film, I can knock another goal off the bucket list. 🙂 Disney does not give tours of…
This subject has come up a couple times today. Disney’s annual pass holders are starting to get irritated with the company’s offers of getting into the park for free. The birthday promotion and next year’s volunteering promotion. Plus the D23 events that include park tickets in the price, but don’t have an option for AP…
Well, I made it home after a day of driving through construction traffic on I-5. Nothing like that to take you back to reality. I unfortunately had to miss the Toy Story double feature on the final evening. I was hoping to get home in time to see my girlfriend a bit. But the drive…
Almost forgot it was blog day! When I travel a lot, I tend to forget what day it is. 🙂 So, today is halfway through the inaugural D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. Overall, it’s been a very enjoyable experience. I arrived at 10am on Thursday and, in traditional Disney fashion, immediately stood in line. My…
